If you have a CEL on, the code would be most helpful.

Symptom:
P0325-KNOCK SENSOR #1 CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0325-KNOCK SENSOR #1 CIRCUIT
When Monitored: With the ignition on and the engine running.
Set Condition: The Knock Sensor circuit voltage falls below a minimum value. The
minimum value is from a look-up table internal to the PCM and is based on engine rpm.
DTC also sets if sensor output is approx 5.0 volts and the engine is running within idle
range. One Trip Fault.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
GOOD TRIP EQUAL TO ZERO
KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(K42) KS SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
(K42) KS SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K45) KS RETURN CIRCUIT
(K45) KS RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN

Symptom:
P0340-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0340-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT
When Monitored: Engine cranking/running. Battery voltage greater than 10 volts.
Set Condition: At least 5 seconds or 2.5 engine revolutions have elapsed with crankshaft
position sensor signals present but no camshaft position sensor signal. One Trip Fault.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
INTERMITTENT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL
INTERMITTENT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL
(K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN
(K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED GROUND
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
(K44) CMP SIGNAL SHORTED TO (K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
(K4) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
PCM - (K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY
PCM - (K44) CMP SIGNAL
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
TEST ACTION

Looks like you need some new sensors.

Well, you only get the codes if something with them is wrong. You don't have to mess with sensors for them to go bad. Look at the causes of the codes. If your timing was off, you'd have a bigger problem than a CEL.
