After a short run the engine wont start for 20 to 30 minutes.

2013 Citroen DS3 1.6

Car: Citroen DS3
Year: 2013
Variant: 1.6

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power LossEngine & Drivetrain

Engine refuses to start after a short journey. Diagnostic code shows P0341 and refers to " Camshaft Angle Sensor"
The car is Diesel and when trying to start it seems to be starved of fuel.
There are no engine management lights on when engine is running.
The strange thing is when it does start, after sitting for a while, it is instant.

Need to replace faulty sensor if that is what shows as fault . Similar to crankshaft sensor failing which causes non start and then when it has cooled down works again

Thank you for such a swift response. I wasn't sure if that would cause the non starting problem but I have already spoken to a garage and booked it in to change the sensor.
Thank you again
