    New to Tundras.com. Greatful owner of a 2007 TRD Tundra 5.7. Bought it in 2010 and I have a little over 195,00 miles racked up. She's been a great truck, but needs a little "attention," here recently. I appreciate all of the knowledge/experience shared in this community. And I'm reaching out to tap into some of that said knowledge/experience.

    Truck ran normal. Parked her for the night. Wouldn't start the next morning. Battery replaced recently along with cable clamps. Have plenty of juice to start, but just a noice from the ECM area of the dash. Put a code reader on it. 4 separate codes dealing with cam position sensors. Figured maybe a bad starter. Tapped on the starter, actually more difficult than I intended, and got it to turn over. Then she stalled and on a couple more starts, as well. This time only one code, P0335 noting bad cam shaft sensor "A." Fourth start and she runs without stalling, but code P335 still present and no check engine light, either. Do I need to replace only the "A" cam sensor (position 1), or is my starter faulty... or both?

    Thank you,

    Tank4cy

    PO335 is a crank position sensor code. Based on symptoms it is either a bad crank sensor or a bad cam sensor on bank 1.

    To begin I'd take battery cables off to drain keep alive memory, then try again.

    Did this happen right after battery replacement?

    Here is a good video on replacing the crank position sensor

    Thank you, Blanchard7684. I replaced the battery and cables back in July, as the battery was not recharging and the alternator was found to be working fine.

    Since my post, I cleared the code, and drove the truck for approximately 20 mins. Checked for codes before shuting it down and after a restart... no codes? Can a faulty starter cause the crank position sensor to show code P0335?

    Not really but Tundras are very sensitive to battery issues . All sorts of strange things can happen with poor battery connection or a dying battery.
