I would run new wires from the sensor to the ecm. If it fixes it, put one old wire back in until the error comes back at least you will know which is bad. My guess is the signal or ground.

I have a Power Probe Kit and putting a small light bulb on the one end and powering with 12v verifies the harness can handle the load...

Did u try swapping the cam and crank sensor places with each other??? I did that on my LLY pulling truck.

So I put a wire to the ground wire of the plug where I had soldered it directly to the battery negative p0341 is gone and now have a p0335 or crank sensor code... so I think I have a bad ground again pulled all grounds off cleaned the block till the spots for grounds were shiny hook it all up again I have a p0341

So I tried running the ground wire directly to battery again and get a p0340 or loss of signal so now I don't know what it wants

Yes you have no idea how pissed off it makes me to have spent 4 days and couple hundred bucks chasing a non existing with the cam sensor. Me and my dad and buddy took a spare harness apart and traced the cam wiring and notice the grounds were tied together with fpr harness but originally were just cutting the harness to try by passing that factory cam wiring.

We decided right before doing that though to check the power wire for the plug for continuity and it didn't have it so unplug the bail connector test from bail to plug it's good..... then from other side of bail to ecm..... out of limits so we skin the wire at the ecm and the bail add a wire plugged it all back in and perfect continuity try starting still no star and cam code...

Then buddy says unplug the fpr so I just unplugged the main harnesses from the ppe controller and instant start up.... shut it plug the fpr harness into valley cp3 starts right up again.... (well kinda had to tap the gas pedal couple times to keep it idling.... so unplug main fpr harness again tell my friend to plug it in soon as I get it started... so start truck again he plugs it in to the ppe harness instantly kills the truck and gives me a p0341 code again

So all this time it's been the god damn ppe controller fighting me this is number 2.....

Why would the ppe controller giving you a cam code? Just curious for future reference. I would contact PPE and let them know your situation and the problem that their product created.
