HELP NEEDED GUYS, car wont start :(

so im trying to start my car this morning to head to work and all it does is keep turning over. so I luckily got it to start after 5 minutes or so but it sounded horrible. so I headed over to Autozone real quick to pull the code and it came up with P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor-Bank 1) . Once I left there it started good and i drove back home not thinking autozone sold this part (my dumbass mistake of the day lol). and once i got home it never started again. So i called autozone and they said they did carry it for about $55 but now i just dont know how to get there. does anyone know if this is the sensor that its referring to? i took a pic because the guy at autozone said its somewhere attached to the timing cover so i just wanna make sure with yall first. and do yall recommend banging on the sensor to maybe help it to start? because once i get there im gonna change it on the spot. any help much appreciated fellas!!!

that's it. try something - unplug the sensor and battery for at least an hour, plug them back up and see if it helps - helped me before.

btw you have a damn sexy max.
