1999 Buick Regal
Dash lights = Check Engine
codes = P0341
tip/donation yes
tech = KK
question = The check engine light was on for a few months and we were
able to pull the code P0341. We planned on having the cam sensor
changed but life happened and three months later the car started to lose
power/jolt shifting (automatic). Took it in to have the cam sensor replaced
along with recall work. The cam sensor apparently had a dead mouse in it.
The sensor was replaced. The check engine light came back on a day
later and code P341 is back. Should we take it back and have them double
check the connections?

WARNING LIGHTS

Hello and welcome.
Thank you for the tip/donation.
Yes, i would definitely take it back. It is possible that the sensor was the original
problem, but in the mean time that it took till it got replaced, this mouse may
have damaged some wiring. Have seen it many times. The mouse may have
chewed through the wires for that sensor anywhere under the hood. Since it
started running bad as you described, it is possible that the mouse chewed
through other wires not related to the cam sensor, but to other systems as well.
The other thing about this code, is that it can be caused by a faulty ignition
module, or the cam sensor magnet on the timing chain gear, behind the engine
front cover that the sensor mounts to. These possibilities would require a bit
more involved diagnosis than just replacing the sensor related to the code.
I have done a tech. bulletin search for this code, and come up with nothing.

Again, need to get harness checked, and if wiring OK, further diagnosis of the
ignition system.
