P1341 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 – Below Limit
Potential causes:
– Short to ground
– Actuator faulty
– Open circuit in triggering wire
– Open circuit in B+ supply
None of these look like $7K repairs, even if the actuator needs to be replaced, and quite often we find dirt in the actuator assembly that is causing the problem.

If the actuator needs replacement the part alone is around $1000, plus typically they pull the engine for the job (although it`s doable without doing that). This is the Bay area, so I wouldn`t be surprised if it cost around 7k. What would it cost to replace the actuator in your shop? Just wondering. For the Poster perhaps it`s worth a trip to PA
