Ok so I have had my check engine light on for about 3 years. For the past 2 months I have noticed when the light is on I jiggle the cables that connect to the #5 coil (i am getting a p0305 code) and the same cable goes to the camshaft sensor (also getting code p0340) so I thought the 2 cables wrapped together causing em to get the codes. I wiggle the connection by the coil and all the way down towards the camshaft. After a few drive cycles it goes away! Could I have bad ignition cables? Im 3 for 3 on this! I have already had the spark plug changed at that cylinder and coil swapped with another. Thanks for any advice

Does anyone know if there is a new cable that can replace this?
