2004 1KZ Prado with error code: P0340 Camshaft position sensor circuit G Signal.

Hi All,
I have a 2004 1KZ Prado which has been sitting around for 2.5 years in the garage. (I was living abroad).

Did a full oil/filter change all around, including gearbox and diff, fuel filter, etc. Got it running OK, but we have come across this problem.

When the car is accelerating hard, always at around 80km/h it will splutter and loose power briefly, and the check engine light comes on with the following error code: P0340 Camshaft position sensor circuit G Signal.

Has anyone experienced this on a 1KZ ?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

What are you reading the code with? 1KZs don't have a camshaft position sensor.. Try reading the code with techstream or by shorting out pins 4 and 13 of the OBD socket and reading the check engine light on the dash. M-OBD codes are here http://tinyurl.com/y7dlndlp
