P0342 CEL - CPS?
Hey all, I have a CEL on and when pulling the code it pulls this. The engine does idle rough (bounces 100-200 at idle) and my gas mileage has gone down about 2 mpg.
In any case does a P0342 point towards the Crank Position Sensor or would it be the Cam position sensor (never heard of this being a problem before)

Sorry brother, not much info bout that one.
I did however find this, dunno if this helps you:

And some advice to someone else:
"Check and clean your camshaft sensor (carefully remove it and spray it with an electronic cleaner or brake cleaner, be sure that it is dry when you installed your sensor), replace if needed."
Sounds like it might be an easy fix tho? But the part I think is around $170
