Sometimes only OEM sensors will work.

Bump:
Well Travis its been over a month, so how is the trouble shoot going, 366 curious minds would like to know????
If your still working the problem, maybe have a look-see read here, https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/ch...e-cam-sensor-1 as the site gives a rather good trouble shooting scenario for both the cam & crank sensors. The P0344 code is more for a intermittent circuit problem, so sounds like a wiring & electrical connector wiggle & sensor thump test may be in order.
Did the problem/s come about suddenly after some event????
