What size Engine?
Most Camshaft Postion Sensors are located on the front of the engine on the passenger side, where the pulleys and belt is located. It is below the throttle intake, so take the Air Connection off. It located between the the power steering pump and the front engine mount. Follow two wires going straight down to the sensor. It is inserted into the Engine Block or Timing Chain Cover. Usually there is a 10mm bolt locking it into place. You must loosen (actually take it off) this to pull it out. The Sensor (is not screwed in) has o-rings and is a little difficult to pull out. Make sure you unplug the sensor and do not pull on the wires.
Hint: Put clean engine oil on the sides of the new sensor (on the o-rings) before to ease putting it back in. Make sure it is properly seated!

probably forgot to reinstall camshaft sensor which located on timing cover or forgot to reconnect camshaft sensor because crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor work together to control fuel timing and spark timing.make sure ignition coil getting 12 volts.

CODE P0522 - ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR RATIONALITY. CODE PO340 - NO CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FAILURE. REPLACE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR.YOU NEED A CODE SCAN TO ERASE CODES. IF THESE CODES POP UP AGAIN. YOU COULD HAVE PCM PROBLEMS.CMP SENSOR NOT RECEIVING 5 VOLT SUPPLY.

I have a 2001 Grand Caravan. It will start and run then quits. Then i cant get it to start, Ihave changed fuel pump and filter. The same problem exists.Could this be a crank shaft sensor.

Do you get any trouble codes like P0320? This is the code for the Crank sensor. I have a 2003 Caravan myself and that is the code I was getting, but after replacing the Crank sensor twice it turns out it also needed the Camshaft sensor. Good Luck.

Code reads P0340 Camshaft position Sensor circuit

That makes the computor think the timing is off. Replace the sensor and see if that does it. You will then have to have the code cleared (erased) or the light will come back on/stay on.
