    2008 Kia Rondo motor is cranking but won't start

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Rondo Kia Rondo Advice Kia Rondo 2008

    The motor in my 2008 Kia Rondo EX is cranking but won't start. I've changed the spark plugs and the cam-position sensor and checked the fuel pump. There is fuel pressure to the injectors. I don't know what to do next. The OBD2 code was P0340 cam sensor position dysfunction.

    You're on the right track with looking at the camshaft-angle sensor. But rather than the actual sensor itself, the problem is likely to be within the wiring that connects the sensor to the car's computer. Without a good, solid condition, the best sensor in the world can't relay the information that the computer needs to command the engine to start.

    The next step is a visit to an auto electrician who should be able to test the cam-sensor circuit and check for problems with fuses, wires, connectors and any other component that could be causing the information breakdown.
