Car wont start, please help!

[Blubatmobile]

I did some searches and some people have same prob but no one posts the answers for it. I changed my oil and changed the air filter, went to turn the car and all the interior lights came on but the car wouldnt even try to turn over. The car came up with P0335 and P0340. Cam shaft and CKP problems. I tried to clear them, and they just come back. Then when I leave the key one for alittle bit, the odometer shows PWR STR and COOLANT. What can I do to fix this? Im sick of the car not being able to move and Im just sick of working on it. Is this something I need to call the dealer on or can I just do something. Please HELP!!!

Check your power steering fuse in the engine bay. Mine started acting up when I put my K&N on and didn't ground the fuse block properly. For some reason it wasn't blown, but pulling the fuse and putting it back still fixed it.

I would check your fuses, all of them. Start with the pcm fuse. If you have no chrankshaft or camshaft position, it's no wonder you have a no start. It's odd that you have all of them pop up at once, hence why it's something electrical.

Wait I just noticed you're in Austin? WTFUX.

PMed you.

I went through checked any fuse that said ECM, PCM or anything CM. They all look good. I will take a look at the steering ones later. From what I have read Saturn is replacing computers for the P0335 code. Im glad I havent licensed this car yet with HPT!

I would double check the harness connections to the ECM (engine control module) and the underhood fuse box harness connections.

possible plinxter flange problem??

My friend in NC who had his replaced was having pedal throttle control issues. It would still start and run though.

I still think it's a bad ground somewhere. Maybe when you pulled your air filter cap it knocked it loose or something.

That could be but I went ahead and called to have the car towed to Saturn and they can figure it out. Does the LSJ have to CKP's or just one? The tech said it has 2 but I thought only the 2.4 had 2. He said one was right next to the oil filter which could make sense that I knocked it out and the others on the crank but I thought we only had one.

As for the ground wire, I took that completely off and put it back on and made sure it wasnt shorting out on anything and all looks good. I think I prolly knocked something which would be kinda embarassing but oh well. Hoping they just realize they need a whole engine rebuild or something! Ha!

Check for this plug right here (right side of the fuel rail); you may have nudged it out of contact or potentially broke it. Try unplugging and reattaching both ends to see if that fixes it.





That's the crank positioning sensor plug. It is highly likely that is the issue.
