Hello everyone. I got a CEL on last Saturday. I didn't notice anything different with the car, it was running just fine, but took it to Autozone to get the code and it gave me the P0341 camshaft position sensor. That night when I got home I check the sensor moved the cables around there a little (btw I barely touche the sensor and the clip that holds the cable in place snapped, but it still holds itself in place) and when I started the engine again the CEL was gone. It didn't come on until today, I didn't pull the code but I'm sure its the same cause the car was running fine still. The only difference I noticed, and it may just be my imagination, but I think the car revs higher. My question is, should I go right into changing the sensor? I found some on autozone and such websites but the pictures online show different looking sensors so I don't know for sure which one I need.

it says it's for a 2004 slk320 but it looks just like the one on autozone here ->Duralast/Camshaft Interrupter-Magnet (SU6900) | 2004 Chrysler Crossfire 6 Cylinders L 3.2L SFI SOHC | AutoZone.com
I would like to buy the first one cause it's so much cheaper.

Do you guys changing the sensor would be my best bet or should I check something else first?
Thanks

 

OK so I did notice something different. please tell me if this is my imagination or if this is a problem. Before I got the CEL when I pressed the gas pedal while in park to rev the engine, it would get to let's say 4K rpms and the go down again regardless if I kept the pedal down, now when I do that it holds it up there as long as I hold it down. Is this normal?

p.s. the CEL was not on today but I guess I'll change the sensor anyways cause it's probably going bad.

 

Same happened to me and changed the sensor and solved problem good luck

I used the sensor from autozone

 

4200 rpm max is normal when in park.

 

thanks for the help guys
