Thank you everyone who's watched this. Heres the video where Mason times the suburban for all of you with further questions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/moDWc2qLqNiSesU

I have the same truck mines won't start hope this work

[@michaelnelson9140]

It’s called a rotor.

[@anthonycrouchman3651]

It's called a rotor button that goes inside the distributor cap

[@randyhord69]

Check timing chain. Probably jumped a tooth. Or wire short

[@TheMarkdogg]

Ckp relearn crank shaft the distributor has to be in spec between+2 and -1

[@psychojr5460]

It was for your crankshaft position sensor

[@-gearsgarage-]

98 z71 I’m working on has the same code 200k miles on it. Already replaced crank shaft sensor. About to do cam shaft sensor. After that it’s timing chain time.

[@ATDGarage]

it may be your timing chain. But my distributor got loose and turned and caused it to be off time making the code come up. Make sure your timing is within spec.

[@ATDGarage]

If you want to try the method I used to fix it here is the video I resolve it in. I start around 12:50. video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moDWc2qLqNiSesU

[@-gearsgarage-]

Okay, I did crank shaft sensor and it had cracks in it, although it smoothed out a lot, it still popped the code. So I will check out your other video. Appreciate the info

[@ATDGarage]

If you have a timing light that would probably work best. I didn’t at the time but it worked great. Still haven’t had an issue since

[@colmillo1359]

I forgot the position of the rotor cap does it matter what side u put it back on

[@lightningsurvivor1432]

Have you done a timing chain replacement yet? Just did mine a few days ago and now ive got an oil leak at the pan and time chain cover. I guess i didnt get a good seal. Now ive got to completlety take it apart again sigh.

[@thekingsilverado8419]

I'm going thru the same soup right now. I am gonna assume the Cicom made cover is the issue or the leak actually seems to be the crank sensor itself and that does make sense if the sensor is put back in a new cover that O ring seems to be the issue as well as the 1345 code is still on right now. I just got new AC DELCO sensors on Amazon 60 bucks for both sensors. So I am gonna replace the crank sensor first check the leak. If the code is still on I will move on to the cam sensor too then back to the leak if it is still leaking. It appears the pan gasket has been leaking for some time now. It seems all of these trucks get the pan gasket leaks. This customers truck had the engine replaced some time ago so I was suspecting the pan gasket itself to be leaking and this leak was not there before I started the job but who knows what is going on. I am suspecting the sensor itself at this point. The customer said the sensor was replaced about 2-3 years ago so again who knows with all the Chicom auto parts on the market. Everything seems to be made out of total bullshit these days.

What's the big vortec box off the side of air intake?

[@motorfntrash4254]

What's the name of the sensor you just put on

[@federicoarangopaez]

Did you finally figure it out?

[@robertbrown9721]

I replaced mine but I rotated it past the sensor so I had to go back around one more rotation to get the other sensor out and after I got it all back together it won’t start now. Any idea why? It wants to

[@justadon2832]

Did you figure it out,mine just did the exact same thing

[@oscarperezgonzalez9203]

I got the same code what was the symptoms you experienced with this code mines runs and start but it feels slugish it hesitates

[@ATDGarage]

I didn't have any symptoms that I noticed anyway, other than the engine light being on.

[@ATDGarage]

I would try and verify the timing. In the pinned video in the comments, I Found my distributor had turned over time causing that issue

[@mattvandivier2623]

how did you figure out it was the cam shaft censor ??? how did it run before it was fixed ???.

[@ATDGarage]

It turned out not to be the camshaft sensor. My distributor timing needed to be adjusted. I did that in the video “Mason does a tuneup on the suburban”

[@ghosttrain5588]

If the sensor is bad your vehicle will die when sitting at a red light and sometimes it won’t start right away you have to try a few times to get it to start then it will die at a light so you have to sit in neutral and keep on the gas a little

How do I fix bk spark

[@willypp13]

Did u discover why the light was one ,?

[@jakebom300z4]

I just finished but the cide is still up does it take awhile to clear it? Or was it something else?

[@ATDGarage]

For me it ended up being my distributor moved out of time. Once I resolved that my code went away. The video for that process is linked in the pinned comment

[@lorenzobean9116]

Did it end up being the timing chain I'm having the same problem

[@lorenzobean9116]

@@ATDGarage yea I changed cam sensor in my case and that little hiccup only happens so often

[@ATDGarage]

@@lorenzobean9116 My bad I thought this was a different video we have up about a timing chain. The timing chain wasn't the issue here all the problem was my distributor had moved. so i retimed it and the light went away. The video, where I do that, is linked in the comments if you wanna check that out if you still get the problem.

[@kjobama662]

I just did the same replacements in the same order but mines still crank but no start

[@ISAIAHSBAG]

Try your ignition coil

[@realamerican2633]

I think​@@ISAIAHSBAGmight be on the right track, also the electronic control module right next to the coil might be it

[@caylebwinkler8391]

P1345 is actually I think a possible 9 different issues

[@chrismalone4491]

Would it cause a knocking issue? I figured it was more problems than one

[@normaljeans908]

I worked as a mechanic on different equipment for better than 30 yrs and never came across this code. I have an intermittent Service engine soon light appear every few days with the P1345 code. My cam retard was almost at zero @ 500 or so rpm. I think it needs to be checked @ 1000 rpm It runs a little low when I don't rev it up. My question is what did you find was the fix. Seems you have an immediate light when you operate your vehicle. My mil light comes sometimes when I started it cold on the next day. IF it was wear and bad enough, I guess the code would be quicker in reappearing. thanks, Me. Did you make a follow up video on this? This is a good video.

[@ATDGarage]

It ended up being my timing was off let me know if you have any more questions. I start around 12:50. video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moDWc2qLqNiSesU

[@ATDGarage]

I didn’t have a timing light so the method I used was a bit primitive lol

[@luisangelflores3951]

So what happened did you solve it why was the light on still after you replacee the sensor?

[@ghosttrain5588]

The light will stay on until you plug the scanner in and reset the code.

[@moving562]

the spark from the rotor to the diode is too long. watch this vid at p1345 code fix chevy, gmc, silverado, suburban, etc

[@moving562]

it is a timing issue. hope this helps.

The commercial said "we love engineers" I just wanna clarify I am not part of said "we"!!!
