It sounds like your cam timing might be off a tooth or so. That could would give you your symptoms of not starting up right away and p0341. I would inspect your timing marks again. If theyre off reset all your marks and reinstall the belt. When reinstalling timing belts if important to make sure all the slack is at the tensioner before adjusting/releasing the tensionerI. Then verify your timing is good. You do this by rotating the crankshaft by hand 2 full turn( this will give you 1 revolution of the cams). If you got it the slack will taken out by the tensioner all your marks will line right back up. If there is slack in the belt between any of the pulleys other than the passenger cam and crankshaft before you set the tensioner the marks will be off after rotating the crankshaft twice.

Hey there!
Messing with the timing belt can indeed throw off the rhythm, and a PO341 code is like the car's way of saying, "Hey, something's not syncing up right." We have an article specific to PO341, and this link will take you there.
When you rotated those cam and crankshaft pulleys to get the timing belt in order, it's possible that the camshaft position sensor got a bit confused. PO341 is often linked to this sensor reporting, "Uh-oh, the camshaft ain't where it should be!"
Here's the drill: Double-check your timing marks. Make sure everything lines up perfectly. If it's a smidge off, it can cause the camshaft position sensor to panic.
Inspect the camshaft position sensor (CMP): Sometimes, the sensor itself can get a little wonky, especially if it's been disturbed during repairs. Check for loose connections, damaged wires, or any signs of wear and tear.
Once you've fine-tuned the timing, clear that PO341 code with your OBD scanner. Then, give it another shot at starting up. If the stars align and your timing marks behave, you should be back in business.
Keep those marks in check, and you'll be cruising again in no time. Good luck!
