ok, heres the deal.

i have a 2000 with a 5 speed 99,000 miles. 2750 miles since last oil change. i have not driven this car for 1 month. today i start it and it dies right away. i start agian, no problems, but the engine light is on.... i drive it like 5 miles and come home, i just wanted to take it for a spin. its popping two codes:

P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P1684 Metering Oil Pump Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction

should i disconnect the positive side of the battery to reset the computer and see if it happens again?

what do these codes mean?

 

p0340.. i just had this problem last week.. easy fix.. go to a local napa store or dealership and buy a camshaft postion sensor.. ranges from 30 to 40 bucks.. you can also go to this link and it will tell you where to find the camshaft postion sensor.. i did it in about a hour..

P0340 is for the cam sensor and P1684 is battery disconnect code. Replace the cam sensor and use a scanner and clear all your codes.

 

thank you.
