Mileage is 165,000. Service engine soon light is reading a code P1345 Camshaft to crankshaft position correlation fault. I can not get the code to stay cleared. A local service center replace the camshaft sensor. This did not take care of the problem. 12 months ago I had a fuel pump replaced and the mechanic re stabbed the distributor. He stated that the timing was off and he could not get the engine to crank. The manual states that their is no timing adjustment on SFI engines. What will correct the problem. The truck runs and starts with out any problems. Performance and fuel economy is fine. I can not get the vehicle safety inspected until I get the service engine soon light extinguished.

It will take a scan tool that shows a "CAM RETARD" pid. You need to get this adjustment as close to zero as possible. When turning the dist to change the adjustment, you need to snap the throttle so the new reading shows up on the pid Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 8, 2010, 2:50 PM Post #3 of 6 (7208 views) Re: Camshaft to crankshaft position fault Sign In Yep, everybody makes that mistake. Once you turn that distributor, you need a scan tool to get it right again. Any more than 4 degrees off and it sets that code. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I've notice some of those come with a white line on the dist & manifold from the factory (you need a mirror to see it cuz it's on the backside), just line up the 2 marks and it gets it close enough to keep the light off once cleared.... No marks & you're screwed. A scan tool is the only way wayneb New User Aug 16, 2010, 7:05 PM Post #5 of 6 (7133 views) Re: Camshaft to crankshaft position fault Sign In had this same problem with m y 98 suburban 7.4 it turned out that the distubiter had play in it the bushings where bad sbourquin New User Aug 16, 2010, 7:30 PM Post #6 of 6 (7127 views) Re: Camshaft to crankshaft position fault Sign In Thanks for the info.
