Hey guys, I have been troubleshooting to the best of my abilities and cannot seem to find out what is going on. While accelerating, I am getting blips in losses of power/RPMs. Based off of what I read I thought my coil packs were going out because I would get a nasty clunk/bang that sounded like a misfire or maybe the trans. So I ended up getting new spark plugs, wires, and coil packs. Didn't solve the issue.
Now, I just replaced the camshaft synchronizer, so I thought I might unplug it because I did the same while I waited for the new synchro to arrive, and it drove fairly well. The problem goes away, it accelerates just fine. Is this just a timing issue?
The second time I put in the new synchro I made sure to get it aligned properly and insert it when piston #1 was on TDC. Not really sure what else to change. Also I am getting a P0340 Camshaft sensor "A" Circuit code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
