Thanks for taking the time for the write up. I have checked the postion sensor wires a few times. I may and try and get an ohm meter reading from the PCM pins to the sensor connector. If I connect an OBD reader when the car is warmed up I can see a pending P0340 and then when I start the car a 2nd time after driving for 10 minutes I get the MIL light P0340. I'm starting to think it may be the PCM as I can start the car 5 to 6 times when its cold and I get no codes. I'll give the VCT a cleaning and a test as well.
Thanks for the tips,
BobM.
Bob,
Don't waste your money on a PCM ($300). From your description, it can be seen that you do not have an in-depth understanding of how and when the PCM is conducting its test and setting pending codes.
Not trying to flame you, but I am trying to save you the money and time....
Please see the PCED for exact diagnostic procedure.
