Need some help
 

So the otherday i was driving on the freeway and my belt snapped. I pulled over and thought my car was bugging out so i attempted to try to start it and no crank just a whine( this was b4 i checked under the hood) then i proceed to the hood and noticed my belt was off and frayed as fuk. So long story short i got another belt whilr on the side of the freeway and installed it. Attempted to start nothing but more whine... I checked to make sure belt was on the correct way which is was, and then i went to the driverseat and noticed the cel lights on the dash. So the codes showing on my oft where P0345 which is camshaft position sensor and P0340 if im correct it is also camshaft sensor but open circuit. I checked my sensors on the front of the block no damage to wires (havent rulled out sensors being slapped and k.o) and also no play or wiggle room for the sensors or pins. Now i can test the sensors with my multi meter but rn i dont know whay to look for as in continuity levels or resistance or whatever (correct me if im wrong). About 10 mins go buy and my buddy brings his reader to us and his reads also P0340, P0345 and also a misfire code P0300. Now i looked up thay if the starter motor goes bad then it could pop those codes ill be taking my starter off tomorrow to check for any signs of damage or seizing. Please if anyone can help me or point me in the direction to go that would be awesome thanks guys

Have you checked the battery level?Since you lost the belt it would not be charging properly. You may have enough power left to run the electronics but not enough to start the car.

I really don't see how a thrown belt could cause a starter to go bad?

If before he checked the engine bay, and sat there cranking the car for 15min straight...

Has OP not tried to jumpstart the car just to rule out the battery being drained?

Unhook the battery and do a reset then give the battery a good charge as it may have discharged while unsuccessfully trying to start the car.

I doubt that anybody would do that, unless it was on 4/20 - :D
