Bad gas? Or worse?

Took my car out to run some errands today and about 10 minutes after filling up I’m sitting at a red light and it just dies. I tried to crank it back up but it was running really rough and wouldn’t stay running. Had it towed to my house and I pulled these codes P0340, P0325, P0330. Any thoughts? Can position sensor gone out or could that be a symptom of the bad gas?

Quick google search shows it’s basically a round tube that should just pull out if you can get some needle nose or something on it… assuming it’s not already in the oil pan

I'd drain the oil first. If it fell it has a straight shot to the pan. You might get lucky and be able to snake it out through the drain hole.

based on the pictures of these things I was looking at, should be obvious if the body if still in that hole or not. If it's not seems like it'd have to be in the pan. Camera and one of those flexible claw deals or if its steel a magnet to drag it to the pan.

Well good news is I found the rest of the sensor on the endoscope. But I also found out what caused it to break off. Any chance I can fix this without pulling the engine?

Damn… no way I’d attempt it without pulling both covers and timing cover at which point I’d just pull the damn thing. I’ve dropped a few out the bottom without a lift, not too terrible

Also need to be sure pistons didn’t kiss valves

Yuck,.
I had passenger side cam shatter,
At a light sitting,
Few valves hit,gear, upper chain adjuster cracked .

Cover can be pulled in car ,

Radiator and fan out you have enough room to work ,

I had done drivers side head with long tube exhaust attached ,

I also pulled engine to replace head,

Both ways were a weekend solo to do .

Only footnote,if you never timed 1 of these,,
Following manual when they say left side. That's drivers side .
To us looking at engine you would think passenger is left side
