Hi guys,
The other day, VSC light came on and I couldn't start the engine until several tries. Thought it was the fuel tank cap, it was the first thing I changed. Same problem comes and goes. Battery is new.
Yesterday, I tried for half an hour, it didn't start, so I opened the hood and found some crack plugs. after touching 2 MAF cracked plugs, I tried to start the engine again, it works.
Is there any possibility that it caused from the bad MAF contact with the plug? Is there any where I can find the replacement part? Thanks.

Code P1343 implies that camshaft position (CMP) sensor circuit A has high input (circuit malfunction). However, the cause may most likely be a dying starter. When the starter can't turn fast enough to start the engine, often a P1343 trouble code is triggered. I had this code when my starter was dying. I replaced the starter and cleared the code. Everything was fine after that. There was no need to replace the camshaft position sensor in my case.

Reason: corrected a typo
Thanks yyymmm31. How many camshaft sensor for this 1UR? I will check wire, then try to swap 1 new sensor around before going to starter, which is more pricey.
