P0130 is an oxygen sensor code.
p0340 is your camshaft position sensor code
p0336 is your crankshaft position sensor code

as far as the p0130 code those usually are what i call neglected sensors that do not get replaced when they should be. this sensor is expensive but worth the money as it will help on fuel mileage.

on to the camshaft position sensor, i would start here with this. replace that sensor and when you are replacing it, inspect the sensor and make sure the electrical wires going into it are in good shape. after replacing those 2 sensors, go to a parts store who can erase your codes to turn the light off and then let us know if it comes back on and then we will go from there on the repair.

P0336 Crankshaft Position Sensor Range Performance
DTC P0130 O2S Circuit Closed Loop (CL) Performance Sensor 1 This doesn't mean the O2 sensor is bad .

Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair that know how to use scan data to diagnose the problem . No code states a part be replaced. There are diagnostic test procedures for testing the electrical circuits of sensors , data parameters etc.. An trying to add refrigerant when you know nothing about A/C systems is just asking to be hurt .
my suggestion to you would be take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop ,before you hurt yourself.
It takes special tools to diagnose and repair the modern automobile an some people should not even try .
Thousands of dollars of testing equipment , not guessing , an looking for magical fixes on here . It takes years to get good at diagnosing automotive OBD fuel management system problems .Sorry mary ,but i see it every day at work . People try fixing there own vehicle ,when they can't ,then they take it to a shop . Cost big $$$$$ . it wouldn't have if they would have just take it to the shop in the first place .

2000 Pontiac sunfire 2.2 got code 1137. How do I fix. Car won't start. I changed o2 sensor.

The 1137 OBD2 code is typically an o2 sensor problem as you have indicated, first I would make sure your replacing the correct o2 sensor as there are two (upstream and downstream), although it is possible that a bad o2 sensor could keep your engines fuel injection system from delivering the fuel to your engine, in my experience having a bad sensor typically results in a check engine light and running with a less than optimum fuel air mixture, it does not typically keep your vehicle from starting. If your still getting the 1137 error code after replace the o2 sensor and checking its connecting wires I would start looking for a bigger issue.

P134, p0141, po300, po130 and po135. 2005 Sunfire.

Given that most of the trouble codes are for the O2 sensor, I think I would change it. The multiple misfires could be because of improper fuel/air mixture caused by a bad sensor. Disconnect the negative(-) battery terminal then change the sensor. Disconnecting the negative(-) should reset the computer and allow the fuel/air mixture to return to default allowing the engine to start.

P0336 means Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance. Try replacing the crank sensor next.

Check Engine Light, Code p0340, triggered by other accessories?

its probably just grounded wires.. check your car's wiring.. if you can't do that yourself. Have an electrician/mechanic check it for you..
