CAM Shaft code p0340
My 1998 Disco was running super rough and wouldn't get over 35 mph. It turns out that one of my spark plug wires became loose. I reconnected and it began to run better, but still sluggish. No engine light, but I checked to see if there was a code anyway. It produced a P0340 - which is a Camshaft sensor error. I cleared to code and now it is running fine.
3 Questions- could the disconnected spark plug fault throw this code? Why did it continue to run poorly after corrected? Does the P0340 fault code put it into some form of a "safe mode" ?
Thoughts?

A used one with a warranty is a good way to go. As for the other question, there is no wear factor on this sensor, it works on a magnetic impulse signal.
Wait till the engine starts acting up again and throws another 340 before buying one cause even used, they are expensive, want to make sure this was not some sort of glitch first.
