Camshaft sensor check engine light

[Shehadehd]

I'm having such a hard time figuring out which camshaft position sensor corresponds to p0343 code.

I see one in the front behind the drivers seat on a LHD car and one in the back right by the AOS. Short of pulling the plug to one and seeing what happens, can anyone help me figure out which is which?

I just figured out that it is the one behind the passenger seat by the AOS. I resulted to pulling the plug on one to read the code. Looks like I'll be pulling out the AOS to get to the sensor and figure out if it's bad...

Well, I swapped the two camshaft sensors and replaced the bad idler pulley on the car last weekend. My car still hasn't finished its readiness tests since the last code clear, but no CELs so far.

After removing the old idler pulley, it's evident it was bad. When I shake the pulley, It sounds like a bag of marbles comin from inside the bearing, I can't wait to open it up and see what the bearing internals look like.

I'm not sure if the sensor failure was a hiccup, or if a connection had gone bad, but unplugging it reconnecting it seems to have helped? I'm still keeping a watchful eye on the situation to see what happens.

Oh yeah, I pulled out the filter and ripped it apart like a madman. I ran a magnet over it but got no ferrous metal at all... I'm still planning on doing the retrofit, but my car is a 2000 year and the door jam says it was manufactured in January. Does that mean it's a duel row or single row bearing?

What's the typical time for the secondary air to finish emissions readiness test? My 99 finished all tests after a code clear in about 90 miles
