Hi guys this is my first time posting, learning a lot from this forum. I have a 1997 LX450 with 243k miles that I purchased in June. Has been running great for a few months then has recently shut off, without hesitation randomly..then cranking but won’t start. Giving me P0335 Crankshaft Pos Sensor code along with P0340Camshaft Position Sensor code. I have read others have had issues with the connection on top of the distributor which is what both sensors have in common. The repair manual states to check resistance between terminals 2,3,and 4 to diagnose the P0340 Camshaft sensor code BUT FIRST SAYS DISCONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR. I know these are built into the distributor so does that mean to just disconnect the DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR? I see no other connections. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to figure out the issue.
Testing as is with just the distributor connector unplugged I read around 540 ohms between terminals 2-3, 265 ohms between 2-4 and 3-4 which leads me to believe that I may have to replace the distributor assembly as readings from 2-3 should be between 185-275 ohms Cold.
