2006 Acura TL M/T randomly died while driving
Yesterday Morning I, was driving my 2006 Acura TL manual transmission with 186k miles. The car randomly just died while on the highway. Pulled over had it towed home checked the check engine light codes and came back with.
-Code
P0340
-Pending codes are
P0154
P0134
After the car died, it just doesn't want to start. It turns over but doesn't start.
P0340, not sure if the car would shut down because of the crankshaft sensor going bad.
Any thoughts or where I should start? Charged the battery and it is fine. When I tried to spray some starting fluid I noticed that the throttle body is not opening when I push on the gas.
Not 100% sure but if I remember correctly all the dash lights came on when it turned off.
Thanks for the help in advanced!

I always thought if you prevented the crankshaft from spinning the car would rotate around the axis of the main bearings. Maybe I've over thought the process.

OP, when I search that code for your '06 TL-S6 I come back with 'Camshaft Position Sensor No Signal'. You may want to double check the code accuracy again.

Thanks man I called the Acura Dealer to get the part number they gave me 37840-PGE-A11. #14 Is the correct sensor. Placed the order for the sensor now I need to wait for it. By any chance do you think I will have to remove the timing belt to get to the sensor? Because in the in schematics it looks like I do.
If the TDC Sensor replacement repair procedure for your '06TL-S6 is similar to the '03CL-S6 (that's what I drive) you or your mechanic will have to remove the TB and the appropriate cam gear to get at it for replacement. The attachment below should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect, keep in mind though, that the TDC Sensor replacement on the attachment is for an '03CL-S6.
Good Luck!

Had the timing belt ever been replaced before?

Yes car is running as it should right before the belt broke off. Now before this happens again, I need to get the timing belt done on my other M/T 2006 Acura TL. On the TL that the belt broke off I don't know if it was ever changed, as I got it when it had 140k so I would assume they didn't. Sense the belt didn't last up to 200k I'm surprised myself it survived

If the timing belt broke and the engine was spun, some of the valves at a minimum tapped the top of the pistons. Some people it is very obvious immediately and their engines run rough or have a miss....for others, the oddities don't show up for a little while longer...but they do show up. A bent valve is a bent valve...it will eventually cause some issues.

the motor is identical except for one small breather valve that runs accross the engine that is easily swapped and maybe the wire harness too. Watch Eric the Car Guy's 3 or 4 part video on the 3.2TL engine swap, he does a A/T & M/T swap. Find a new mechanic because he should not have done a timing belt job on a busted belt.
