Car Forum / Saab Cars / April 2007P0341 Error code on SAAB 900
I have a '96 SAAB 900S (non-turbo). There was the "Check Engine" sign on and I found out that the computer showed error code P0341 (Camshaft Position Sensor A - Bank 1 CKT Range/Performance). I think the C.P. sensor is inside the Ignition Distributor (please correct me if I'm wrong). I see a lot of oil on the bottom of the distributor cap. Is this normal? Could the problem be that there is oil leaking into the distrubutor and causing the sensor to malfunction? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. >I have a '96 SAAB 900S (non-turbo).

It might just be a dirty connector - try cleaning the engine area connections for the CPS. >Here's a photo of the CPS location.

There is also a camshaft position sensor, which is what the error is complaining about.

It appears that there is one from the WIS. Dunno about the 9000.

Whoops... my bad. >>Here's a photo of the CPS location. > >Whoops, here: http://home.comcast.net/~jlorencillo/engine.jpg > >Parts here: http://www.eeuroparts.com No, the fault indicates the CAM (not CRANK) shaft position sensor, that's inside the distributor; see here; http://www.900saab.com/dizzy.html But first check the wiring from the distributor back as cracked insulation or dirty connections could be the problem before embarking on major surgery on your distributor.

Are you sure it is not direct ignition? >I can't believe in 1996 the 900 still uses a distributor. Are you >sure it is not direct ignition?

It's definitely a distributor. Guys, thanks for your responses. I bought and installed a new distributor and the "check engine" sign has disappeared. Now it looks like my catalytic converter is about to go! So frrrrrrrrrrrrustrating! But that's a story for another post.
