got codes cant find them???????????????

hi everyone
well after reading a lot of posts i decided to just get my truck hooked up today at the parts store just for the heck of it. i have got two codes and cant find where they are listed in owners manual, shop manuals, or shop manual cd. i know i have seen them somewhere before but cant find them now. now for the codes
1. p0344 camshaft position sensor a -bank 1 ckt intermittent.
my truck doesn't stall or anything like that??????????
2. p0236 turbo/super boost sensor a ckt range/perf.
i have never seen anybody post this. btw my intake/filter is stock and no chip so i have no clue on this one!!!!

ok this is what i know:
1. 1997 f-350 4x4 srw psd 126,000 miles 5 speed
2. my dad was out for x-mas and says my exhaust smells a little rich(unburnt diesel) he has a psd also and says his doesn't smell like this.
3. i have a burnt wiring harness plug (inj, glowplug) it is the end which is a glow plug wire. other 4 pins fine.
4. the camshaft sensor was replaced at 104,000 miles. i know it could be bad again. but heres my thought the code could still be in there from 22,000 miles ago right. i also read in my owners manual that disconnecting the batteries(i just replaced my glow plugs a few hundred miles ago and had batteries disconnected) will clear codes. true or not who knows? the previous owner had the sensor replaced at the dealership and they surely would of cleared the code after the repair right???????
ok well i am ready to buy the sensor if need be.
5. i had the parts guy clear my codes. how long should i wait to go back and get the codes read again? my check engine light does not come on while driving or anything else.
only time i see it is for a split second when i turn the key on. and i mean split second. (so somebody with similar truck if you could help on this issue as i dont think the newer ones are the same.
6.thanks for taking the time to read/help me out sorry so long just wanted to get all the info out there from the get go. thanks ryan

I would bet they where their previous. I would drive it for a couple weeks and have it checked again. Its the only way to know. Yes unhooking the battery's and then turning on the light to drain any residual power for about 10 mins. will reset your computer.

P0236 is a low boost code on my '96, the most coomon cause is a plugged cat converter. when the exhaust is restricted the turbo boost goes down. Lots of soot is the cause of this problem usually. An intermitant CPS code can be put out by stalling the truck reset the codes and see if they reappear exhaust flow problems aren't too hard to remedy and a CPS is fairly easy to replace if you've gotten your fingers dirty before Let us know how you make out
