SPUTTERED AND DIED LOGGED CODE FOR CAMSHFT POSS. SENSOR A CIRCUIT P0340

I would think it would be just the Camshaft Position Sensor.I looked up the codes and they say pretty much the samething.

Hi, the cam shaft sensor will be located Under the hood, center, upper engine area, mounted behind
rear of intake manifold, in the engine block.
This is a magnetic or hall effect sensor. It sends
a signal to the computer relaying information about shaft speed,
position and acceleration or deceleration. This information determines
when the fuel/air mixture needs to be ignited and how much mixture is
needed for the engine.
The possible causes of failure will be faulty housing or faulty wires as well. A faulty ECM could trigger a false alarm as well. this is highly unlikely but, possible in most cases. The most reported reasons is flat out sensor failure.

Every morning at lunch time and evening my jeep won't start. It doesn't grind but the electrical goes crazy. After a couple of trys it finally starts. Help
SOURCE: P0340 code. I Changed cam sensor and checked
A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
•a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
•the camshaft position sensor may have failed
•the PCM may have failed
•there exists an open circuit
•the crankshaft position sensor may have failed
With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:
•Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit
•Check for continuity in the circuit wiring
•Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor
•Replace the camshaft position sensor as required
•Check the crankshaft position circuit as well
•Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required
•Diagnose/replace the PCM as required
