P0343

So Monday i was driving back from LA and my car just died on me. Towed it back home and checked the codes and it threw a P0343. After checking the forums and talking to a shop ive come to the conclusion that i believe the cam bolts have backed out (Guess its a commin problem)

Anyone else have this problem?

Not real common. If you add an F/I setup or have had a cam change, the bolts can be an issue. Torqued to spec and using the proper thread seal is important.
