[QUOTE="kingshiloh, post: 29958, member: 15546"] I have a 8.1l 2002 Silverado 2500hd and I've been chasing the electrical problem for the past few days. I started my truck up after it sitting for about 6 months and i noticed it started miss firing and started having long cranks. I put a scanner on it and i get P0343 P0342 codes for the cam sensor/circuit. I replace the cam sensor and I still get the same codes and still miss firing. So I start checking the harness(no wires visibly broken or eaten). On the cam sensor plug pin A has 12v, pin B has good ground, and pin C is supposed to have 5v signal from the ecu but it has 0v. I check continuity of the Pin C wire and its good with 0ohms to 0.001ohms (from the cam sensor plug to ecu plug). I checked the ecu ground, battery ground, cabin ground, and engine ground, all the grounds are good. Then I replaced the ecu thinking that was the problem because at the same time my bullydog tuner stopped working it wasn't turning on from the obdII port.
