Dd you clear the code after fixing the pigtail? Did you inspect the pins inside the connection point inside the sensor for rust/corrosion? If you bought it at an auto parts store, try replacing it under warranty and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes the sensors are bad from the start.
Any mechanic would test areas to rule out issues.. Don't give up
Code P0340
- Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor (most common issue)
- Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted (I would test this last)
- Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection (the harness was an issue)
- Faulty starter motor (how does/did she start up)
- Starting system circuit (not sure about this)
- Dead (Weak) battery (easy to test with a dmm or auto parts store)

Lol all this back and forth and you don't tell us what fixed it in the end?
I can hear all the future people with this problem simultaneously swearing at you.

LOL I didn't post anything bc after a day and a half its back kinda hahaha. Ok all my OEM sensors seem ok it was the wiring. The signal from the sensor wasn't making it to the ecm. It ran great for almost two days and now when I first start it's a hard start and servos engine soon, slip and VDC lights come on. Turn the car of clear codes and it has a hard start with no lights and runs great. I haven't had a chance to scope the wiring again but I have been driving like this for a week or so and as long as I clear codes it's fine.
