Your P0340 is a different problem from your P0303, but they may be related.

Since the code P0340 indicates that there is something wrong with your cam speed sensor, your misfiring in cyl3 may be caused by this.

This points to addressing the P0340 error before the P0303 since it could be contributing to the 303 in the first place. Look at your cam speed sensor in cyl3 and maybe this would solve both problems at once.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like Solenoid. U can replace it if you know how to do a starter rebuild. Go to local auto store and see if they have it or a rebuild kit. Otherwise just buy a new/ rebuilt starter and put that in.

When you turn the key nothing happens but the battery shows full charge and all lights, radio etc work. Its a 2002 Mits Galant

hi, the problem you are describing sounds like the starter motor has packed up or a wire might have even come off the back of the starter if your sure the battry is fully charged then the chances are the problem is with the starter motor, that is where i would start looking anyway

The check engine light comes on my 2004 galant es and the codes states that there may be a leak in the fuel line or tank evaporation system. What to do?

Have you checked your fuel cap? A loose or leaking fuel cap will trigger an EVAP code. I would start with a new fuel cap, and have your local autozone, or checker, or automotive store clear the check engine light after you replace the fuel cap. Hope this helps
