Hey everyone, new to the forums with a quick question and hopefully a quick answer. I just did the full timing job on my truck, it had broken guides and everything these truck are known for.

So did new chains, phasers, tensioners, vct's, and oil pump. Dropped the pan and cleaned out the oil pickup and pan.

Started and ran good for a day then had a miss. So pulled codes, got a P0305, P0345, and P0349.

Found the miss was a bad spark plug, so that's fixed but today the two cam sensor codes came back.

My question is, everyone on the forum that talks about the P0345 and 349 codes says their truck has all sorts of running problems. My tuck seems to run and drive fine, just has the codes. So I've seen horror stories of the truck jumping time on the first startup after a timing job, but before I worry about tearing the engine open again, would the truck run this good if bank 2 really jumped time? I know it was timed right when I buttoned it up because I checked repetitively and turned the engine over by hand a few full rotations to make me feel even better.

So if the timing is off would it run fine or would it have issues? Thanks in advance all.

 

Quick update/ Bump

swapped cam sensors and the codes came back still on Bank 2 so the sensor is fine.

 

No input at all?

All I can offer is read these links and see if that helps.

 

These links are a little more specific:

You may have a bad VCT solenoid on Bank 2, or a wiring issue.

 

Thanks, I'll check the links out

does anyone have the pin out for how to test the wiring for the cam sensor on bank 2

 

Hey guys still looking for some help on what to look for on this

 

 

Congratulations! And thanks for letting us know!

 

I try to give a solution, it's annoying when you find a post describing exactly the same issue you're having but it just ends with no answer. Like people fix the issue and feel no need to tell you how
