2003 Saturn Ion 2 P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor...no camshaft position sensor?

OK all...so I have a 2003 Saturn Ion 2 that started misfiring and bucking/sputtering, hooked it up to the reader and it gave the following codes: P0200 injector circuit, P0270 cylinder 4 injector circuit low, P0300 random misfire and P0304 cylinder 4 misfire. The following items have been replaced, the coil pack, the ICM, all 4 spark plugs, all 4 injectors and the fuel filter. The throttle body was cleaned, the timing belt was inspected showing no wear to the belt or disks, the PCM/EC was tested functioning normal and the wire harness from the PCM to the injectors was tested, there was a break or disconnect in one of the wires to the 4th injector, which has been hard wired fixed. The engine is no longer misfiring but there is a definite issue with something involving the exhaust but now I am getting the codes P1779 Engine Torque Delivered To TCM Signal and P0341B Camshaft Position Sensor...but this car does not have a camshaft position sensor and I am not sure where to even start on the P1779...any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

SOURCE: 2002 saturn vue cylinder 1,3,5 misfiring when swapped coil pack it went away now cyl 2,6 misfiring.

having PO 304 = Misfire cylinder 4,PO 306 = Misfire cylinder 6, as I read above you have done the most. The thing that you have missed is to check whether the Catalytic Converter is faulty or not. To get an idea check whether you have a smell like rotten eggs at the end of the exhaust,you start having problems with cat and needs replacement. My advice before you go for a cat replacement is good to visit an MOT center and check your emissions and then you decide,

Testimonial: "I have been having this problem for a few months now and I have tried everything except install a new Cat. I had a feeling but wasn't sure until this guy mentioned it. He really knows his stuff. He pin pointed everything to a "T". You're a really good mechanic, my friend. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much. Your knowledge is highly recommended."

SOURCE: How to check coil packs and spark plugs wire with a multimeter. ..having random/ multiple misfire P0300...need to know their spec? 97 Cadillac Deville, 4.6 engine/Northstar

I don't think you really understand what this fault code means, it means that likely all the engine cylinders are misfiring at random no set pattern, not any particular cylinder. I would start with checking for engine vacuum leaks like the intake manifold gasket. that is all I can say since you provided no make, model or year and engine type and size information.

Can someone please explain Difference between codes P0341 and P0342 please?

The codes signify issue with the same component.

P0341 What the P0341 code means. P0341 is an OBD-II generic code that says the engine control module (ECM) detected the engine camshaft position sensor circuit is not within specifications. The sensor pulses do not correlate to the pulses of the crankshaft sensor.

Has thrown 2 codes out on autozones code reader P0341: CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE P0301: CYLINDER NUMBER 1 MISFIRE DETECTED

code p 0341 refers to camshaft position sensor (CMP) sensor A bank 1--range /performance problem=== causes --insecure sensor/ rotor --- air gap--- wiring ---CMP sensor
you will have 2 camshaft position sensors ( one for each cam shaft but they should be the same unit
the sensor receives an impulse from the rotor on the cam shaft and that impulse has to be within the set parameters in the ECM
the air gap is critical to that impulse

DTC P0366: Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Performance
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is an electro-hydraulic operated device used for a variety of engine performance and operational enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge in the combustion chamber, a broader engine torque range, and improved fuel economy. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by changing the angle or timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft position. The CMP actuator simply allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve opening during the four stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve opening, or the valve lift.
During engine OFF, engine idling conditions, and engine shutdown, the camshaft actuator is held in the Park position. Internal to the CMP actuator assembly is a return spring and a locking pin. During non-phasing modes of the camshaft, the return spring rotates the camshaft back to the Park position, and the locking pin retains the CMP actuator sprocket to the camshaft
