I have the codes as 1405 and 0340
1405 - Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) valve
0340 - Camshaft sensor

Camshaft sensor will be flagging up becuas ethe engine isnt running when you do the test so ignore it.
Your problem is the EGR valve

the engine revs die if they go below 2k, and sounds like its running on 3, does this sound like a fooked EGR?
