cam position sensor code po340 replaced sensor car still will not start?

What is your question?

Yea, No, Those OBD II Car Readers are dangerous in the hands of a rookie. I was desperate, had money for a sensor not enough for a tow. Took a chance, made a choice, wrong one.. So I went fishing at a local pond and I noticed coolant on the ground. So I decided to keep an eye on the temp. gauge, sure nuf' got hot fast, Not melt your heads hot but gettin' there. Left er' runnin put in all the water we had quart and a half maybe. Lookin round for more and she turned her self off. Got more H2o cooled her down more and waited a while.. Has'nt started since. Happened to have the reader plugged in cause I'm trying to get it to the smog shop ( waitin' for the last three monitors to do their thing) No check engine light things were lookin' good. Don't know if the coolant leak was related or not just thought I'd mention it cause coincidently, or not it happened at the same time. Left the car in a parkin lot walked on out Sensor kicked out PO340 camshaft sensor circuit malfunction. Every thing said don't go right out and replace it but as I said I was desperate. Not stupid or even delusional, Just desperate. finally got it towed to my work by a friend and there she sits. Just got the car from a friend cause I lost my other car nother story nother time. It had been hit in the rear quarter panel jacked it up pretty bad he just gave me the car It ran well. pounded out the dents was startin to look a lot better. DMV here I come when shazam! PO340 I tell you all that because who knows maybe it too has something to do with it. 116000 K seems like this s--- happens some time. SOOooo, Could it be the throttle pos. Sen. actin up maybe the bigger brain wants it to remember the PO340 for a little longer or maybe it needs to have a chat with a programmer or sumpthin? Really startin to be outa my league. I was never tryin' to pretend I knew what I was doin just hopin something would go my way for a change. So if you are still there after all this. I could sure use some good advice. I dont mean like "what were you thinkin' you Dumb Ass". Cause I already know that much. I do however have an analog and digital volt meter but don't know much about back probing the electric connection to the sensor. Is it possible that it is the cam pos sens circuit malfunction? There I go again! Graspin' at straws. Help! Tony In West Sac CA --------->OUT Oh at least 1 cylinder has compression and spark smell no gas is the timing belt easier to check than that? What about the paper spacer leave on wright?
