Problems with Daewoo Lanos

Hi,

I have a 2000 Daewoo Lanos SX (they went defunct shortly after I
bought it).  The car has been a real gem of a car.  Starts first try
even in subzero temps, I live in southern New Brunswick, Canada and it
gets mighty cold in the winter.  I'm sorry I am rambling.  We have no
real dealer here and when it requires misc parts, ie, oil filters and
the like, we have been getting them from the Chev dealer as their Aveo
has the same engine, I believe.  Now the other day, the check engine
light came on and we put the OBD reader on it and it showed the code
PO 342 (cam sensor low input).  We bought a new one from Chev and my
husband put it in and it is still reading the same code and the check
engine lite is still on.  Anyone know of a solution especially for a
DIYselfer?

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Is there a particular reason you are asking questions about a Daewoo in a
Honda newgroup?

to be clear, with this new sensor, the code returns after it's been reset?

Not all problems are fixed by throwing parts at them.  In this case the
problem might have been fixed by cleaning the contacts or the part itself.
I am not familiar with the vehicle so I don't know for sure.  I suspect that
you have to clear the trouble code now, in addition to fixing the problem.
The OBD reader may be able to do this, the Chevy dealer might have a more
advanced diagnostic that can do it, or in a pinch you can disconnect the
vehicle battery for a few seconds.  That will cause you to lose your radio
preset channels perhaps.
