Default GOT CAM BOLTS! PO343 Code car gets saved
So I pull apart an 03 Z today with a D1 on it and the always popular PO343 code. Get everything apart and guy was luckier then I had thought



I have no idea how the sprocket stayed on the cam, I literally touched it and it fell off the end of the camshaft.

Good times

I hope he was smart enough to have it towed in.

He got lucky this day, as most guys end up with a new motor after getting the PO343 code.
