    Hey all, I'm in Houston......I'm posting on behalf of my 96 Celica I recently purchased. The car runs strong but has a check engine light. I believe the motor might have been swapped. The code comes back as P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor). I've already changed the distributor and a wiring harness that runs off the distributor. I think the last option is the ECU. Any suggestions for shops in Houston that specialize in ECU and electrical issues?

    The error code P0340 is a general code that can include multiple sensors not just the camshaft.....so yes, looking at sensors is my next move.

    First I'd check the wiring and harnesses for rodent damge before replacing sensors. And you're correct about it kind of being a general code. Theres a few things to check before blaming the ECU.
