I’m having an issue with my 2003 CRV the car has 240,000 miles on it. I was coming off the exit ramp and the car just completely died on me. It will not stay running when I start the car it immediately starts to misfire really bad and the second you take your foot off the gas, it dies, it’s throwing the P0341 code the only thing I have checked was the timing chain and it’s tight. It does not seem like it has any play at all. I have also swapped the two camshaft position sensors to see if it made a difference and it did not. And I have replaced the VTEC Solenoid the one on the side of the engine just below the valve cover with a junkyard one and still no luck

 

A quick Google search revealed that P0341 is for your camshaft position sensor. The ECM doesn't see where the camshaft time is in relationship to it's programmed data. A mismatch. So the CEL is thrown and this code comes up.

Time for a replacement.

 

I know I have already replaced the camshaft position sensor and I’m still having the same issue

 

Did you replace both of them? There are 2 camshaft sensors.

 

It is more likely due to a stretched timing chain, not the sensor.

 

Check chain stretch and tensioner position.

 

I did yes

 

I checked the chain it’s really tight

 

Honda's troubleshooting flowchart shows the following for Code P0341:

• incorrect timing
• damaged or stretched chain
• clogged or stuck open/closed VTC (Variable Timing Control) oil control solenoid valve
• faulty VTC actuator
• damaged camshaft position (cmp) pulse plate

Honda P0341

Found this with a little digging here.

 

Great, but is it stretched?

history of oil change neglect?

 

The procedure to check for a damaged or stretched cam chain is by measuring the cam chain auto-tensioner rod length. If it’s more than 13.5 mm, the chain is bad and must be replaced, along with the chain auto-tensioner.
