Default Camshaft Position Sensor

I had a code thrown on the car P0340 says my camshaft position sensor is bad and made sence beacause just then I I was under "hard acceleration" and the engine was shuddering try to accelerate so I pulled off the only one I saw on the driver's side and the car ran better but the code is still being thrown, it would make sence if there was another sensor for the other camshaft but I can't find it.
any tips?

There is only one. Check your battery and alternator first. Those sensors do go bad but most of the time is a voltage problem. They are very sensitive.

there's only one cps and chances are your alternator is what's causing that code to pop up because that sensor itselfhardly ever goes bad

*edit* haha, beat me by 8 seconds
