2003 Honda CR-V, auto, 2.4, 145k miles, OBD II code P 0341
car started running very rough. replaced V-Tech valve. at that point, car ran great but now shuts off at low rpms.
replace cam pos sensor - no change. Guessing the timing chain is worn to the point of stretching and will need replaced soon, but first I'm thinking of replacing the crankshaft pos sensor. Should I do this ? Could it help ?
What is code P0341?
You never know it's worth a try it's a simple fix if it works but if it doesn't it is a Honda realize the valves need to be adjusted that can cause it if you've never adjust the valves lots of things I wouldn't just guess at the timing chain
The engine camshaft rotation is synchronised with the crankshaft. The engine computer (ECM) constantly receives the signal from the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) that is compared to the signal from the camshaft position sensor (CMP). The trouble code P0341 is set when the camshaft position sensor (CMP) signal is out of expected range or if it is not timed properly with the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) signal.
What can cause the code P0341:
- a faulty camshaft position sensor
- improperly installed sensor
- damaged or misaligned reluctor wheel
- foreign materials between the camshaft sensor and the reluctor wheel
- open, short or bad connection at the camshaft position sensor connector or wiring
- improper timing
- a timing belt or chain jumped a tooth
- stretched timing belt or chain
- problems with variable timing mechanism
- electrical interference from the secondary ignition system components to the CMP sensor circuit caused by high resistance in the ignition wires or spark plugs or faulty secondary ignition components.
