this is a video of changing the cam position sensor on the GM 3.1, 3.4 v6 engine in this video there is a motor mount plate being removed this is only for the 99-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, and Oldsmobile Alero other than that the video applys to everything from these engine years. this is usually signified an issue by the dtc codes p0340 or p0341 but testing can be done to test the hall effect sensor

Joe thanks for this video you saved me big time. I was just looking for help with the camshaft but now I know how to do the pump all so.
Nice
Thank you Joe. Have not yet recieved my sensor and already know how to locate and replace it.
Hey brother first time tuning in can already say this is gonna make the installation in my case go from a nightmare to about as smooth as it can go thank you much take care
I bet ur just the best mechanic ever
+85irocz28 not sure if this is sarcasm but this video somehow messed up when i uploaded it and the cam sensor part ended up at the end around 10.30 or so if this was the info you were looking for sorry
Saw a video on replacing the cam position sensor on a Jeep (if I remember right), it was just two bolts, done and done. Why couldn't my Alero's be so easy? :) Thanks for the vid, Joe!
ibjacked i know how ya feel, thanks for watching
JoeTheAutoGuy my car in05 impala cut off twice never done that never now its turning over but not cranking look under the hood to fine gas line and i found to see if gas was coming up an i got plenty gas out of the line....so what do u think i should check
Thought I was getting acid flash backs again:-)
Your videos are awesome dude good stuff!
+FordTechMakuloco thanks man yours are as well , working to improve my quality i often look to your channel for how you do camera angles and such
Mine broke as well, did you just pull up on the wiring to remove? Wasn't sure if I would rip the wiring out by putting so much force on it.
Thanks brother
I'm having trouble moving the pump out of the way. In your video, you don't say anything about removing the fluid line. Is that necessary?
You should have title to something involving crankshaft positioning sensor and pump instead of just sitting there watching you take off all this extra s*** thank you for this wonderful video with the great narratives you surely made my day a lot shittier thank you
cam shaft sensor is behind the pump which is required to be removed so yeah video shows removal and install but your welcome!!!! , crankshaft sensor on these engines is behind the crank pully
Is the cam shaft sensor the same as a crankshaft sensor my car starts and sometimes it won't start like it don't get any crank to get it started
what issues will a bad c.p.s. cause? I have a problem with firing up after car has ran for a small trip? it will fire up again the next day ??
Can you please share with me the steps of replacing a timing chain on these GM 3.4L engine?
where does the sensor plug into at I can't find the plug on the wiring harness?!.
Will this work for my 2003 Buick Rendezvous as well? 3.4 V6
How you support the engine after taking the mount off
Wow, thank you
You're welcome!
does the camshaft position sensor makes your car kill when your driving sometimes? cause when my car would do this I took it to get a diagnostic test an it came up with a PO341 CODE an they say that's what it is
it can cause a no start condition. I'm sure it does other things also.
did your new power steering pump come with the variable assist already assembled?
mine did but they are hard to come by now it seems
quiero saber donde esta ubicado el sensor del ciguinal de mi carro chevy lumina 1992 k no se lo allo
How often do these camshaft position sensors fail?
When they make this engines they start piling up one part over another. They don't care how it's going to be serviced. Things like serpentine belt, csps, sparkplugs are among the most none sense spots.
true
true. they don't care. but I had my plugs changed without touching any motor mounts thank goodness. I used a tiny little circular style rachette. awesome. without it I would have never been able to reach the dam plugs
So what kind of part on my car that's causing it to not to start I need to know what the part is
i install crank shaf puli an senser on a 2002 silhuoette an it wont turn on but it turns over but wont turn on
Cool I see thx
Hey Joe. I got the sensor changed but having trouble getting the power steering pump back in
what trouble you having
JoeTheAutoGuy I took the hard line off fell right into place
You never showed where the cam sensor is or where to remove it, you showed the pump removal and replacement but forgot to show cam sensor replacement , maybe should change heading to power steering pump removal and replacement, good info for someone who does know how to change pump
towards the end of the video at 12:00
yes he did. watch the video before you start the hate crap.
I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4 V6 when I start my car up the engine turns over but the car do not comes on so could you please tell me the problem or make a comment so I can know what's the problem the engine turns over but the car don't start it hesitates to start when they want to turn over to come on
Hey Joe, Thanks for your videos, great way to learn and break things down for people who don't know much about cars. After letting my car sit for six weeks I had 6 codes pop on my 2004 chevy impala 3.4 and three of them were sensors Knock, camshaft, and crankshaft, any suggestions where I should start or could this possibly be a wiring issue? Just changed the spark plugs and this seemed to help a bit. But still having same issues with car starting then immediately dying.
I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero with a 3.4 V6 engine in it everytime I turn the key over it wouldn't start but what caused it the engine turning over or what cause it not to start

Nice xxxtentacion
can anybody please tell me a site that give indept details about harness connection to a 3.4 motor
That's weird. My 2001 3.4L Grand Am GT has the wiring routed across the front of the manifold. I guess they did it differently on your car.
Robert Harvilla some did , it varies throughout the years
I have an 05 Pontiac Grand am (6c). One day of getting up going to the store, my car drove fine as usual. I noticed after getting back in the car to start it up, it did just that but it cut off on me after backing up(my battery is good and i have a half a tank of gas). I restarted the car but the only way i could keep it running was i had to keep giving it gas all the way home. I haven't moved it since then but ill go check and see if it would crank or not. After a few tries it'll start but cut back off?? Any suggestions??
Jmoney Roberson mine would do that to in my 01 Monte Carlo LS
I wish I could have commented this a year ago, but it's more than likely the idle air control valve or your mass airflow sensor that needs to be replaced. I had the same problem today and I noticed my IAC valve was out of position due to the screws coming out. I replaced it ($50) and it drove just fine after that.
forgive me if im wrong . but did u foget to replace sensor the sensor
I installed a new cam shat sensor and still p0341 is comming up any thoughts,Thanks.
did you ever find out ?
How do you get the pump off? Im having a really hard time. All im doing is the sensor
Ryan Silva just follow the video an it shows how to remove the pump
You can get to the bolts though the pulley.
appreciate. I have 3.1.)6 c.
me gustaria que alguen lo traduce por fabor me interesa saber eso
joe te escribo desde chile y quiero saber el codigo del motor gm 3.4 v6 porque ae me corto el eje de levas
+Ricardo Lastra Soto mi español no es grande, que el código fue un p0340 para el funcionamiento del árbol de levas si esta fue tu pregunta
hola cual fue el motivo por el cual cambiaste la correa?
+Ricardo Lastra Soto language?
+JoeTheAutoGuy correa era viejo y agrietado
Where is the camshaft position sensor???? Is it blue?
When in the video did you replace the cam position sensor?
It's was odd watching through him taking off and replacing the power steering pump but he show's the cam position sensor at 10:53 after he has the pump off.
Colton Cooper thank you for bring to my attention i forgot to finish editing this video i will be fixing this
Marion Martin as colton cooper pointed it out i forgot to finish editing this video but after 10:53 i show the sensor sorry
No problem, just recently found out that i had a faulty sensor in my 2001 grand am and found your video very helpfull. I really appriciate it.
never heard of 3400. is it 3.1...?
3.1 or it's bigger displacment 3.4 was an option on most gm vehicles from this Era
perdo no la corres sino el sensor de posicion
My car won't start. It'll start for a split second, then die. I can't hear the fuel pump kick in, but it does almost start.i recently changed sparkplug wires.
Elkhartboy did it not start after replacing the plugs?
why is this video called for replacing a cam postion sensor not power stearing pump
Cause I messed up the cam sensor is at the end something years back didn't upload right but I left it up cam sensor is behind powersteering pump
Where would the crankshaft position be
Behind crank shaft pulley
Thought this was cam sensor. Replacement?
Yeah it is towards the end , you need to remove the power steering pump to get to it
Hey joe
jr cheat HELLO!
Need help i have a 2000 alero i drove it home and cut it off and the next day it would not start back i replace fuel pump still want start i change coil packs egr value it start up runs for 3sec then cut right back off
What do you think it may be
Does it die withoit warning (as if you just shut the key off ) or does it struggle to run and then shut off
i would more be taking a look at the ignition control module under the coil packs, common failure
Sorry I did misunderstood
This is somewhat unrelated, but why in the world does the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor get interchanged so much by mechanics? You are the first one ive seen call that sensor correctly. Its caused me a hell of a time.
that i do not know ive never seen people mix up the names
Hey Joe....not saying this to be mean, but have you ever thought about getting someone to video YOU..while you do the work. It'd be more effective for others to see your work "while" you work. Just sayin'!!
most videos I try to keep the camera angles good , thought about it but usually just me around when I do this stuff
JoeTheAutoGuy
okay...that makes sense. they are great vids, but sometimes watching you actually "remove/replace" something helps the novice mechanic.
This is not the proper location on my 3.4 z34 lumina
what year do you have?
que pasa con el idioma?
+Ricardo Lastra Soto no sabía que estaba escribiendo en idioma
my bad.....
;-)
Ahhhhhhh.....you went from r+r the sensor to r+r the power steering pump....you skipped r+r the sensor...
What a stupid place for a sensor ,
You need to learn how to edit a video, but still informative.
yeah I'm not sure what happened with this one I had it edited but when uploaded it changed
@@JoeTheAutoGuy I noticed that your name isn't JoeTheVideoEditingGuy. ;)LOL I just scrolled ahead figuring it was out of sequence. Good video. Working on Azteks and PT Cruisers is just the sort of brilliant "engineering" that got me out of the business back in '91. My instincts were correct and I got out just I time before the real lunacy took over. There was no such thing as RUclips back then, you picked up the wall phone and called another mechanic. Yotube is where all the smarter mice go as the better mousetraps are being built. We mivce have to stick together. Thanks for sharing the video.
Was out of line
im a youtuber i see hate comments everyday lol no worries this video was released early back in the day to help someone out that needed the info personally so i didnt have the time to edit it properly and mixed up an order of clips but never got around to reediting it .
too fast. slow down+ close in on shots please
obviously you taped the wrong video!!!
I actually didn't if you to near the end of the video about it minutes or so you can get to the sensor sorry something didn't code write when I uploaded this one but it does show how to replace the sensor
+JoeTheAutoGuy hey I would appreicate if can tell me, what tool did u remove the tension of the belt, thank you very much
+light1809 3/8ths low profile ratchet
Please re-title this video!!! Big waste of time!!
The cam sensor explanation is at the end.
So what kind of part on my car that's causing it to not to start I need to know what the part is
can anybody please tell me a site that give indept details about harness connection to a 3.4 motor
I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4 V6 when I start my car up the engine turns over but the car do not comes on so could you please tell me the problem or make a comment so I can know what's the problem the engine turns over but the car don't start it hesitates to start when they want to turn over to come on
need a scan tool that can read rpm , if the rpm is not moving it could need a crank position sensor, check for fuel pressure , and make sure wiring is intact. ignition control module could also be bad
I replace the crankshaft position sensor on the side of the harmonic balancer but the battery is dead so if I get a new battery what is startup
So what is that part that's causing my car to not start
