Welcome to DF
You could have many problems, crank sensor, open wires at or going to the sensor, broken timing belt or crack flex plate.

PO340 = No camshaft sensor detected during cranking.

The cam sensor sends cylinder identification to the PCM to sync ignition with the fuel system.
The Cam sensor is located at the base of the dist on the 3.0.

The cam sensor is $34.99 at autozone.com.


I'd start there.
