Default Check engine light

So I've changed both cam sensors on my 2011 in bank 1 because of a timing problem code. Those codes went away and now I recieved 2 different codes of 342 and 368. Both for those cam sensors. Only thing is it only happens during start up. I can clear the codes and run her all day but, as soon as turn her off and start back up the light comes on almost immediately. She runs perfect.

Sounds like the ECM is storing them not deleting them. You may need as tech with an advanced scanner to clear these codes, assuming you have done so with a nornal or semi-professional scanner like my Innova 3160g..

But why the different codes? These codes are different than the originals

Well... turns out Camaros don't like cheap parts! Replaced the new cheap sensors with ac delco ones. She's perfect now. Thanks for your help anyway!
