new cam...trouble starting

[chvy=power]

Got the new cam in about a week ago and it threw a code-P0343 camshaft position sensor high input. i just figured it would work itself out so i didn't worry about it at first but now its really getting on my nerves. i put a new sensor in and re checked all the connections to the sensor, pcm, etc. i can't seem to figure out what the problem is. the only thing i can figure that would be wrong is the ring on the back of the cam that the sensor reads is burred or something.. what do you quys think? has anyone else had this problem???

ive always wondered if you got a huge gob of assembly lube on the timeing ring (or what ever that sensory marker on the back of the cam is) if it would throw this code/have this problem

did you get an ls2 cam by chance? Is it an LS6 regrind? Pull the cam sensor out and look for the cam timing ring.

[WARLOCK]

that would be a problem if you did.

its a '01 ls6 zo6 cam it had 1500 miles on it when i put it in

get an ohm meter and check for complete circuitry to the pcm from the cam pickup sensor. Also look for the sensor ring on the cam down the cam sensor hole.

well i looked down in the hole and didn't see the reluctor wheel that the sensor reads off of..but i coun't tell 100% cause it was kinda hard to see in the hole. does the ls6 have the cam sensor where the cam gear is or is it like the 5.3 where its behind the intake?

[RedHeartbeat]

ls6 uses the rear pickup location at the back of the intake manifold just like the 5.3 does. sounds like you got an ls2 cam instead of an ls6.

An '01 cam with 1500 miles?

[DBRODS]

definately sounds like a ls2 cam...that sucks
