Got code for bank 1 camshaft sensor p0340. My car will take long to start and turn off. I checked for power to the wires and they were good. Replaced the sensor but the problem persist. Replaced the other sensor and even the crankshaft sensor and the problem persist. Also I replaced the connector for the supposed bad sensor and nothing. What could I do next
