Any tips or ideas why am getting the cam position sensor error. I have replaced one on another car and its a mother of a job.

Did it not fix the problem last time or are you just hoping someone will give you an easy way out? The job isn't great fun, but it's not that bad. Pull the intake that has no water running through it or oil that contacts it. Change the sensor and install the intake changing seals if needed. It is super simple when it's not in a cab forward car.

Other than sensor it could be wiring or the ECU. Check wiring for damage and clean the grounds first and after that it's most likely the sensor. In my experience the Gen III was less reliable than the Gen IV cam sensors.

NEVER had a p0343 error in my camaro so I dont know what the hell you are talking about. Had a firebird with a possible oil leak from one (which it wasnt). it didnt have a code. This is an example of a big mouth uneducated poster.

You might want to read the extensive detail you included in your original post. I had no way of knowing you changed out the cam sensor for no reason because you couldn't do basic trouble shooting. Good luck with this guess.

Default Dumb poster

You might want to learn to read before you post bad things about people. Everyone here can see what a dummy you really are.
