Vibration of the engine seems to cause a disconnect, the engine shuts down, throws the P0340 code. I've been told the connector can not be purchased independent of the entire wiring harness ($800) At the present time I have zip ties holding it together with electrical tape over the entire connection. I never know when this is going to shimmy loose and shut down the engine. Does anyone have any idea how I can either fix this or replace the connector? I've checked the junk yards, no luck.

I have done this several times in the past at customers request rather that replacing costly harnesses. I usually use silicone. But glue type is your choice. It will be a bit getto either way. Good luck Jeff re-tired Veteran / Moderator Dec 16, 2010, 6:59 PM Post #3 of 6 (9051 views) Re: camshaft position sensor connector issue Sign In This is the KIA p/n for the replacement connector and pigtail.
