[quote=”college man” post=37455]p0342-camshaft position sensor A circuit low input.
Now we are on the same page.I found out that your car
had a massive recall on camshaft sensors. Here are two
links to help you in troubleshooting.http://engine-codes.com/p0342.html

Although a CPS was a recall for a Dawoo Lanos it did not apply to my car via VIN check the only sensor to apply to my specific car was O2 sensor and recall or not i have to pay for it as no place will do recalls on a Daewoo anymore
Lol, why are you asking for help if you keep shutting every1 down? You were wrong once already, so I suggest you take college man’s advice and check your CMP. Even though the recall doesn’t apply to your vehicle it can still fail… If you have a dmm then you can check it yourself.
The best way of testing a cam sensor is with a lab scope.
If you do not have one, you can at least check for power and grounds with a DVOM.

the CPS is behind the timing belt cover in which i have no clue how to remove it

i dont speak car terms im clueless to what a CMP or a DMM is the average person will not have a scan tool or a lab scope. Pretty much all i want to know is how will the car act with a faulty or non working Camshaft Sensor?

well its a 4 banger with 105HP ao it dont even have any power to know if any is lost it never stalls only symtom is the CEL
A CMP is a cam position sensor and a DMM is a digital multimeter which you can use to check for voltage, resistance, amperage, blah blah haha. Depends on what kind you get.

Although I dont have a Multimeter a family member does however checking the sensor require removeal of the Timing Belt cover and i dunno how to remove said cover. BTW on a side note is it normal for a car to make a squeak tink sound while in gear and to stop in park?
Apply the emergency brake and put the car in reverse. If it makes the noise look under the hood and try to determine the source. Probably heat shield or something similar. Better if you have a buddy in the drivers seat just in case.
You can check your cam sensor without removing the timing belt cover if you have a wiring diagram and diagnostic skills but alas.
You might do yourself some good if you just go to one of the you pull it salvage yards and just look at the engines similar to yours, you might learn something. They are in all different stages of disassembly. I have done practice disassembly before atempting the same proceedure on my cars while picking up parts that may be needed.
it seems that the cold tempatures affect the CEL it take longer for the CEL to come on in then cold if it even does at all. It is obvious that i do not have a CPS issue what can trip a CPS code if its not the sensor?
Well this is a crazy thread. It seems based on your responses that you’re looking for what we call a ‘magic bullet’. Got news for you, they don’t exist. What I mean by this is that if you’re not able to do the testing necessary to prove or disprove a theory then we are at a dead end. If that’s the case what I would suggest is that you spend the money to have it repaired. If it costs that much it’s either the part or the labor that is the bulk of the cost and it doesn’t sound like you’re prepared for either unfortunately. I’m not trying to be mean to you I’m just trying to lay out the situation. If you’re not willing or able to perform the work then you’re going to need someone else to do it for you. We can only offer advice here on the forum and we do the best we can to help but there is only so much we can do and after reading through this thread I can see that quite a bit of good information has been sent your way, what you do with that information is up to you.
Good luck
