PO340 Code
Hello,
This is my first post. The reason i started a new thread is because i found many threads with similar but different symptoms as well as a lot of threads where people did not follow up on their solution.
Thank you for taking your time to read and help.
Here's the background info:
I have a 2005 G35 Sedan Automatic. Bought it ~ 9 months ago with 80K and good/consistent service records. No problems until about a month ago, while on highway it felt like a flat tire, as if i was breaking and gassing at the same time.. (loss of power). Today again while on highway (~75mph) the car felt like it downshifted (stalled for a fraction of a second almost) and then a moment later it was fine. After i got to destination, car was off ~ 10 minutes. I started up and 3 error lights came on. Service Engine, Slip, & VDC off. It was slow to start. after a short drive, i parked the car, this time for ~ 30 minutes. I checked all fluid levels & everything seemed to be A-ok. I did the oil change myself ~ 3000 miles back, full synth. it looked dirty, but not too bad. I started car with no problems however only Service Engine soon error light was on. As i got back on the highway, it did the same thing ~ 10 minutes into the trip, except this time error lights (Slip & VDC off) came on. I drove on to work. my coworker had a very basic code reader with only "Read" & "Erase" buttons. So, we got 2 codes, both appeared to be P0340. and then we erased it. I took back roads home and stayed below 45mph hoping not to set off the error codes. I got home and plan on replacing the two sensors tomorrow. Any feedback would be much appreciated as in; has anyone fixed the problem this way (changing sensors) and it never came back? Naturally i will upload the followup.
Thank you all

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Replace your camshaft sensors and all will be well. It's a well-known issue with our cars: https://g35driver.com/forums/tags/p0340.html

Hi guys,
Just wanted to do a follow up on my post. My parts finally came in today. I ordered them from http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/Item...975-109756.htm
I followed the instructions from Silver Tiburon @ https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...y-version.html
It took me about an hour and a half to get everything done. I actually pulled both sensors out while they were attached to the connectors, and it was easier to remove them afterwards. Passenger side connector gave me a little trouble. I had to use the Flathead to pry it away from the sensor after a little wiggling around. I reset ECU as per instructions and so far no more symptoms. It's only been a day so i keep my fingers crossed. I also noticed that car was idleing a little higher @ around 12-1300rpms but otherwise all seemed normal. Will keep update if there are changes.
Thank you for all the help

@EZChase I am working on clearing the same code. Popped my cam sensor out on the driver side and discovered a $16 ebay sensor from PO. Going to pull the other side out today and parts come in tomorrow. Did you fix your issue? I was wondering the same thing as I got the p0345 and it mentioned the sensor A circuit and not bank 1,2 or sensor a,b - so just curious before I start tomorrow. Thanks!
