Excellent procedure for replacing those cam sensors...I really enjoyed the attention to detail as far as cleaning, and applying dyelectric grease to connections...I'm getting an intermittent P1078 which I believe is due to connection corrosion...The sensor is basically a dumb coil pickup, it either works or not...I believe that the failure has to due with the internal solder joint cracking/failing due vibration/heat cycles...Also the o-rings in those connectors are not 100% weather tight so corrosion can occur on the contracts and give you problems...
Ya I put a thin layer on dielectric on every plug I find. I've worked on so many cars that are older and see corrosion in the plugs as the seals either do a poor job from the beginning or degrade. I think that's why our vehicles don't really ever have sensor issues unless a sensor actually fails. That and upgrading grounds.
Hi Anthony. Glad to see you're still replying to comments on this video after quite some time - a lot of YT videos get stranded and ignored by the content creator and to see you still replying is very nice of you! I just fixed a nasty misfire on my 350Z (2004 DE), my MAF needed cleaning & I put in a new ignition coil in cylinder 2 (as well as changing all of the spark plugs). Think I'm going to change all of the ignition coils in due course, just for the sake of preventative maintenance, as I'm on 120K miles now. I think once I have changed all of these coils, I'm going to attempt the CPS's, makes sense to invest a little chunk of cash - it's worth it just for the peace of mind I think. This video has been an invaluable resource & my profuse thanks to you for making it easy to understand and follow for morons like me 😊
Thanks for watching! I would do crank and cam positions sensors first from Hitachi. They all seem to be going now due to age and are much cheaper. Swapping all of your ignition coils is going to be expensive. Have you upgraded the grounds of the charging system yet?

Good morning Anthony and sorry to bother you on a Sunday. Just changed out all CPS sensors and I wanted to ask, how long did you have the battery disconnected and how long of a drive did you go on afterwards?
Hi Anthony, I've just had error codes 0340, 0345 and 0327 (knock sensor) show up at the same time. I wanted your thoughts on whether failing cam position sensors could cause the knock sensor error code to appear? Thanks for the excellent videos too.
I ordered a replacement sensor for my 350z. This video was extremely informative! I am getting a P0345 for Camshaft position sensor A circuit Bank 2. Is the angled one the one I need?
Good afternoon. I recently replaced all 3 sensors in my 2004 350z DUE TO A LATE IGNITION START, AND MY OBD codes 0340 and 0335. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying very inexpensive SENSORS. Well, in less than 80 miles, the codes came back on the DASH and the symptoms as well. I ordered NEW NISSAN OEM sensors, and I am planning on replacing them again, however... I am curious to know your opinion. Do youy think that my problem is the CHEAP REPLKACEMENT SENSORS, or do I have something else going on? My Z only has 68000 miles on it. Thank you for your response. DIEGO
If the problem went away with the new sensors for a bit, it's most likely due to being cheaper quality. I only buy OEM grade with sensors, nothing else is more consistent.
Would a bad camshaft sensor cause a misfire??! I replaced my plugs and it caused my Z to misfire(revup). I swapped plugs, worked then started misfiring, swapped coils and still misfires. Took to a nissan to diagnose it and they claim that a bad camshaft may be the culprit. Any help or answers are greatly appreciated.
Highly likely. Also a timing chain tensioner not working properly could also be the cause. At this age of the vehicle it's a good idea to change the camshaft and crank position sensors.
that does look like a unpleasant job. I've done a hell of a lot with my Z but I hate cramped tight spaces like my hands have claustrophobia. but no really I just hate knuckle scraping jobs. I might get this done at a shop. point being, thank you for the video.
Hello I just watched your video very useful very easy to understand I'm going to have to change out my camshaft sensors as a preventative measure have 2012 G37. I have a question do these cars come with a rev up engine and if they do how what I know how can I tell
Sometimes when I turn in the Z (de motor) the power cuts. And then I clutch kick it cause I’m still rolling but it’s been more prevalent now. Cam sensors you think ? I cold start her and I waited like 5 min and then I turned the a/c on and e car turned off !! Like sluggishly turned off...
I buy the " Discount Auto parts ones". They cost about 120 bucks each, BUT come with lifetime warranty. Normally this issue starts creeping up about every year or two the sensors ( at least in my case die) and I end up replacing em. I have currently gone though 4 pairs of these sensors and thanks to the discount auto warranty I just have to bring em in and I get a fresh pair. Every other sensor I have bought before this has like 90 days warranty. I even got to the point where I bought a spare set of sensors and I keep them in the car just in case they die when Im driving. : / I havent found any other sensor that lasts longer that 2 years and comes with such a warranty. Side note: I also do this with the coil packs, since they also tent to blow.
@@AnthonyJ350 the originals were Nissan labeled. Idk when they were changed when I got the car. The first time they failed I got Hitachi and they lasted about 2 years it I rememeber but they had no warranty so o had to buy em again, that's when I changed to the AutoZone ones for their warranty.
That's interesting your Hitachi failed after only 2 years. I was just just changing these out for preventative maintenance. Did you upgrade the grounds on your car?
@@AnthonyJ350 An no I have not changed the ground on the Z. I dont have much it terms of electrical add ons so I never changed grounds, ourside of a thicker battery ground cable when mine failed.
So there's a straight and angled sensor on both sides? I've had my rev up for 10 years, how am I now just learning this🤦🏽♂️ Are the part numbers the same on both sides?
Could you tell me where to buy the 4 sensors? I also have that same engine (350z VQ35DE REV UP) and I have only found the 3 sensors, 2 camshaft and 1 crankshaft. I would greatly appreciate it
at least if the sensors break it leaves you stranded. a more important prev maintenance item I recommend people do is the damn THERMOSTAT. do around 70k miles because VQ35DE thermostat likes to break in the closed position. not sure about the HR but likely same designed trash. ask me how I know
Definitely a preventive maintenance can be a long video on it's own. Something you could probably do is do the Pathfinder "coolant mod" as there would be another thermostat on the back of the block that would allow coolant to flow from the block. I use a Nisin OEM thermostat in the front of the engine.
My 2003 g35 has been turning off on me, and sometimes has bad starts. I ran the code and it popped up as the left cam shaft. I’m short on money at the moment. Could just changing that help or for a little or keep it running?
i have a check engine light code abt camshaft sensor A so i tried replacing with duralast one and it did not work so i replaced it back with the old one. Then i got a Hitachi one and it worked for a bit then it just stopped working. i put my old one back in again and it worked fine! don’t know what’s the problem or maybe 2 faulty sensors but i don’t know there’s not even a problem starting it up it’s just the check engine light
Mine just died side of the road an hour ago , managed to start it after 40 minutes and got it to my garage where it died again , time to order some cam sensors in the morning
Hi, I also have a nissan 350z and I have problems with the camshaft sensor on the left side, I was looking for the same hitachi model but they both came on the left side, please let me know, if you want how to find it , I searched on ebay but I can't find it, I don't even know the code, on the left I put hitachi with metal termination and I have no error on that side, thanks!
I replaced the driverside sensor and got the same exact one as yours but after replacing my car is in limp mode and im not sure what i did wrong or what it could be, has this ever happened to you? And it also has poor start up
You would want to leave it disconnected for a few hours and discharge the capacitors by turning on the lights and hitting the horn while disconnected. Take it out for a good drive after verifying you have hooked up and reattached everything properly.
Hello, I have a malfunction in my Nissan z350, and no one has been able to fix it. The car does not exceed 2RBM. I want to send you a video of the car problem. How much is that possible, please? 
I was told it’s not the alternator, starter or battery but my car takes forever to turn over it’s a 05 350z I was told it could be the after market stereo but it came with it when I bought it is it possible the sensors are bad?
I doubt it's the stereo. Accessory power drops during the crank cycle to provide more power to the main ignition components. Bad sensors is possible. The starter motor is new?
Also if you can help me out I would appreciate it I want to change my mass airflow sensors any idea who makes those is it??? Nissan or another manufacturer
Are the part numbers you provided the same for the left bank and right bank? Meaning are both angle sensors and straight sensors the same part number on both banks?
Any idea as to why aftermarket camshaft sensors don’t work? I ended up buying one before ordering the oem one today. To add insult to injury.. the aftermarket one cost more money, still gives rough idle and a hard start
@@AnthonyJ350 P0340 camshaft position A circuit bank 1. I attempted to do an ecu reset and it cleared the code, but then I shut the car off for about 20 seconds and started the vehicle again and it reappeared. I haven’t attempted to change crankshaft or bank 2 sensor as of yet which will be eventually.
@@AnthonyJ350 I found the issue was due to a faulty fuse. The fuse looked as if it was in fair condition, but with a fuse tester it indicated no signs of power.
Can't seem to get a straight answer for this. Some channel creators say that a PO300 random misfire can be caused by bad camshaft sensors but what if you don't get the P0340 code for them? When I ask that question they go radio silent. So if you change coils and spark plugs and assuming compression and injectors are fine and there are no vacuum leaks the what's left?
@@AnthonyJ350 It is rough idling and when you give it gas the CEL flashes. It hasn't stalled and it idles at 650 rpms. The idle is consistent but you can feel the lack of smoothness.
Hey do you know if the hitachi cam position sensor come with both the driver and the passenger sensors? If not can you please provide a link I can buy these sensors from I live in canada thank you!
@@AnthonyJ350 hey sorry for bothering you but i found this link, www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7113776&cc=1431958&pt=7192, does this come with two of the sensors? or do i have to purchase another one. I have a DE engine so i have to replace 2 sensors
So I've had this issue for a while now and i got the check engine light checked and it was the code P0021. Obviously i had no idea what it was so i ended up buying a new VVT solenoid and changed it. Then i did an oil change to the car as well. I reset the car computer and it was fine for like a day and the check engine light came back on only to find out it was the same code. What do you think the problem is? A mechanic told me i should change the camshaft sensors, I'm just trying to make sure I don't spend money on parts that don't need to be changed. The car has 148,000 miles on it if that is important.
I would change the camshaft sensors and the crankshaft. Seems all the VQ35DEs the sensors are all wearing out at this mileage point so it's a good idea just to change them regardless.
@@AnthonyJ350 I don't know much about cars yet but how much would it cost to change the crankshaft, it seems expensive 😬. Oh and i forgot to mention in my original comment that mines is an HR, not sure if that changes anything
@@AnthonyJ350 no i don't want to change it unless i have to, I'll probably end up buying the camshaft sensors thanks to your advice but in the event where changing the crankshaft I'm just wondering on estimated price
On the DE engines, what is the one above the right side cam sensor it too looks like a cam sensor as well? Of you are looking at the engine from the front of course?
@@AnthonyJ350 no, on the right side top, front of my 01' Pathfinder, there is a sensor that looks like a cam sensor as well. Also On the engine that is in the pathfinder, it does not look like the same engine as in my 04' 350Z. My 350z def has the DE engine, but my pathfinder im not sure. Both are single intake motors. Im confused because im not seeing the cam sensors in the back of the pathfinder one. they appear to be in the front and then the 3rd sensor mentioned above. I wish I could send a picture to you cause im lost lol. Thank you for your reply
@@AnthonyJ350 Is there different configurations of DE engines? Because my 01' pathfinder engine looks different than my 04' 350Z. And Im not thinking its a REV up in the pathfinder because it doesnt have the two cam sensors on the bottom on the inside like yours does they are on the bottom on the outsides of the cams🤦♂️🤷♂️. Plus im not seeing any cam sensors in the rear of the engine as well.
@@djscottymaxx If you get a Haynes manual for your Pathfinder it will help you identify parts. The two vehicles' engines are in the VQ family but not identical.
I just got a code pop up, camshaft position sensor bank 2 and I’m getting misfiring and rough idle when I’m in neutral, if I change the sensor will I be good?
I have a g37 coupe and camshaft sensor came up it’s hard to start and stalling through all gears but I just put another transmission in do you think it needs sensor or my trans needs to be reprogrammed
If u r getting a camshaft code on a 2003-2007 3.5 vq ur isn't the sensor it is telling j rhag it has low oil pressure at the sensor so usually the vehicle is just low on oil
@@AnthonyJ350 it was when I first bought the car but that is the reason it reads out of parameters, u can change it and run low on oil again and it will throw same code the guy before me did the same thing changed both cam shaft sensors usually it is the passenger side that throws the code since it is further from the oil galley that feeds the top end
@@keith38able That makes more sense. But low oil is going to cause a lot of issues over time :P That's why I was curious how much oil they had to top off the vehicle with.

@@AnthonyJ350 no, didnt throw that code. oddly enough, today after driving for 30 minutes or so, stopping for gas and recranking the car, the code is now gone...weird. stayed on for at least 2 hours or so of drive time after replacing , even after clearing the code twice
@@AnthonyJ350 yes i did the ecu reset twice but would throw the code again immediately upon starting, drove it 4 or five times, twice over 30 minutes, finally went away, weird. thanks for the help

Good afternoon. I recently replaced all 3 sensors in my 2004 350z DUE TO A LATE IGNITION START, AND MY OBD codes 0340 and 0335. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying very inexpensive SENSORS. Well, in less than 80 miles, the codes came back on the DASH and the symptoms as well. I ordered NEW NISSAN OEM sensors, and I am planning on replacing them again, however... I am curious to know your opinion. Do youy think that my problem is the CHEAP REPLKACEMENT SENSORS, or do I have something else going on? My Z only has 68000 miles on it. Thank you for your response. DIEGO
If the problem went away with the new sensors for a bit, it's most likely due to being cheaper quality. I only buy OEM grade with sensors, nothing else is more consistent.
Would a bad camshaft sensor cause a misfire??! I replaced my plugs and it caused my Z to misfire(revup). I swapped plugs, worked then started misfiring, swapped coils and still misfires. Took to a nissan to diagnose it and they claim that a bad camshaft may be the culprit. Any help or answers are greatly appreciated.
Highly likely. Also a timing chain tensioner not working properly could also be the cause. At this age of the vehicle it's a good idea to change the camshaft and crank position sensors.
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the response, the dealer also stated if misfire proceeded after replacement of sensor(s) it would be a timing issue.
@@ricergarage3092what did it end up being ?
Been at it for an hour, and I cannot get this damn tab off, it won’t budge.
Try a small flat had screw driver to depress the tab, grab the plug with your fingers and gently wiggle it off.
You listed two part numbers in the description i have a revup so I would need to buy two of each sensors ? So two angled and two straight ?
Correct
that does look like a unpleasant job. I've done a hell of a lot with my Z but I hate cramped tight spaces like my hands have claustrophobia. but no really I just hate knuckle scraping jobs. I might get this done at a shop. point being, thank you for the video.
Make sure you get Hitachi sensors.
in my DE, it was easier to remove the sensors with the cables still plugged in. once out of the engine and hanging, it's easier to get the wires off.
@@Aeneas137 Thanks for sharing!
Hello I just watched your video very useful very easy to understand I'm going to have to change out my camshaft sensors as a preventative measure have 2012 G37. I have a question do these cars come with a rev up engine and if they do how what I know how can I tell
Thanks for watching. Your car would come with the new VHR engine, very different from the REVup.
Sometimes when I turn in the Z (de motor) the power cuts. And then I clutch kick it cause I’m still rolling but it’s been more prevalent now. Cam sensors you think ?
I cold start her and I waited like 5 min and then I turned the a/c on and e car turned off !! Like sluggishly turned off...
Good chance, a lot of those sensors are failing due to wear and age.
Excellent video, thanks for all the info bro. Keep it up. You got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you so much for subscribing 😀
I buy the " Discount Auto parts ones". They cost about 120 bucks each, BUT come with lifetime warranty.
Normally this issue starts creeping up about every year or two the sensors ( at least in my case die) and I end up replacing em.
I have currently gone though 4 pairs of these sensors and thanks to the discount auto warranty I just have to bring em in and I get a fresh pair. Every other sensor I have bought before this has like 90 days warranty.
I even got to the point where I bought a spare set of sensors and I keep them in the car just in case they die when Im driving. : / I havent found any other sensor that lasts longer that 2 years and comes with such a warranty.
Side note: I also do this with the coil packs, since they also tent to blow.
How long did your original Hitachi ones last for?
@@AnthonyJ350 the originals were Nissan labeled. Idk when they were changed when I got the car. The first time they failed I got Hitachi and they lasted about 2 years it I rememeber but they had no warranty so o had to buy em again, that's when I changed to the AutoZone ones for their warranty.
That's interesting your Hitachi failed after only 2 years. I was just just changing these out for preventative maintenance. Did you upgrade the grounds on your car?
@@AnthonyJ350 I changed mine cause the oem Nissan failed and left me stranded.
@@AnthonyJ350 An no I have not changed the ground on the Z. I dont have much it terms of electrical add ons so I never changed grounds, ourside of a thicker battery ground cable when mine failed.
So there's a straight and angled sensor on both sides? I've had my rev up for 10 years, how am I now just learning this🤦🏽♂️
Are the part numbers the same on both sides?
Part numbers are in the video description
Super Info again I need to change mine !! 🇬🇧🇨🇦keep the content coming 👍👍🙏🏆🏆
Thank you!
Could you tell me where to buy the 4 sensors? I also have that same engine (350z VQ35DE REV UP) and I have only found the 3 sensors, 2 camshaft and 1 crankshaft. I would greatly appreciate it
I bought them from my local parts store. Rockauto has it too.
at least if the sensors break it leaves you stranded. a more important prev maintenance item I recommend people do is the damn THERMOSTAT. do around 70k miles because VQ35DE thermostat likes to break in the closed position. not sure about the HR but likely same designed trash. ask me how I know
Definitely a preventive maintenance can be a long video on it's own. Something you could probably do is do the Pathfinder "coolant mod" as there would be another thermostat on the back of the block that would allow coolant to flow from the block. I use a Nisin OEM thermostat in the front of the engine.
hi I was just wondering would the location of everything be similar to its Japanese counterpart vq30dd
They should be, yes
My 2003 g35 has been turning off on me, and sometimes has bad starts. I ran the code and it popped up as the left cam shaft. I’m short on money at the moment. Could just changing that help or for a little or keep it running?
Change out both sides with the Hitachi brand and change out the crank position sensor as well.
i have a check engine light code abt camshaft sensor A so i tried replacing with duralast one and it did not work so i replaced it back with the old one. Then i got a Hitachi one and it worked for a bit then it just stopped working. i put my old one back in again and it worked fine! don’t know what’s the problem or maybe 2 faulty sensors but i don’t know there’s not even a problem starting it up it’s just the check engine light
Change all the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors at the same time.
Mine just died side of the road an hour ago , managed to start it after 40 minutes and got it to my garage where it died again , time to order some cam sensors in the morning
Let us know how it goes after
I have a question that doesn't exactly pertain to this videos topic but my fuel gauge doesn't always read full when I fill up, why could that be?
I've read there is TSB for the fuel tank or the filler neck my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/455332-fuel-tank-won-t-accept-more-2.html
Thanks for the informative video, do you happen to still have the part numbers for the revised (metal housing) sensors?
I should have it written in the description.
Hi, I also have a nissan 350z and I have problems with the camshaft sensor on the left side, I was looking for the same hitachi model but they both came on the left side, please let me know, if you want how to find it , I searched on ebay but I can't find it, I don't even know the code, on the left I put hitachi with metal termination and I have no error on that side, thanks!
I would just change all of them. You can get the parts on rockauto.com
Hi, Thanks I'm trying
@@nitoiflorin2336 Let us know how it goes
@@AnthonyJ350 Sure, thanks again!
I replaced the driverside sensor and got the same exact one as yours but after replacing my car is in limp mode and im not sure what i did wrong or what it could be, has this ever happened to you? And it also has poor start up
I changed all of them at the same time with Hitachi.
Do you need to reset the ecu after the replacement of the sensors or should it be fine with just disconnecting the battery?
You would want to leave it disconnected for a few hours and discharge the capacitors by turning on the lights and hitting the horn while disconnected. Take it out for a good drive after verifying you have hooked up and reattached everything properly.
Thanks for the help, great vid!

Hello, I have a malfunction in my Nissan z350, and no one has been able to fix it. The car does not exceed 2RBM. I want to send you a video of the car problem. How much is that possible, please?

Is there a check engine light?
So is it recommended to change all 4 for the revup at once? & do i just buy two of the same pair then?
I would change them all at the same time.
HEY BRO, I NEED THE CAM AND CRANK SENSORS FOR MY 08 350ZHR, HOW I ORDER THE ITACHI BRANDS
Rockauto.com might have them.
Itachi always the way to go
Does this sensors would fix my p1078 code which it says “Exhaust Variable Timing Control Position Sensor Bank 1?
It probably will. If they're original I highly recommend changing them regardless due to the high failure rate happening right now with old sensors.
I was told it’s not the alternator, starter or battery but my car takes forever to turn over it’s a 05 350z I was told it could be the after market stereo but it came with it when I bought it is it possible the sensors are bad?
I doubt it's the stereo. Accessory power drops during the crank cycle to provide more power to the main ignition components. Bad sensors is possible. The starter motor is new?
Also if you can help me out I would appreciate it I want to change my mass airflow sensors any idea who makes those is it??? Nissan or another manufacturer
I would leave them stock, do you have full exhaust and an upgraded intake manifold?
Yes i have change the intake but i want to replace the mass
can rough idling a warning signs of worn camshaft position sensor? How many years should these type of sensors should last?
The original ones had 70,000 miles on them. If you get Hitachi in theory around that much mileage again.
Are the part numbers you provided the same for the left bank and right bank? Meaning are both angle sensors and straight sensors the same part number on both banks?
Yes, that's what the parts store provided me with and they worked.
Any idea as to why aftermarket camshaft sensors don’t work? I ended up buying one before ordering the oem one today. To add insult to injury.. the aftermarket one cost more money, still gives rough idle and a hard start
Did you do the ECU reset? What code is it throwing?
@@AnthonyJ350 P0340 camshaft position A circuit bank 1. I attempted to do an ecu reset and it cleared the code, but then I shut the car off for about 20 seconds and started the vehicle again and it reappeared. I haven’t attempted to change crankshaft or bank 2 sensor as of yet which will be eventually.
@@AnthonyJ350 I found the issue was due to a faulty fuse. The fuse looked as if it was in fair condition, but with a fuse tester it indicated no signs of power.
@@Ezybeatz Glad to hear you figured it out!
So the Hitachi sensors are basically like OEM parts?
Seems to be
i have a pretty bad leak so i need to replace them on my revup i need 2 Hitachi CPS0008 and 2 Hitachi 23731AL61D correct?
You can verify part numbers on Rock Auto
Did they make revised versions of the angled and straight sensors?
Might be.
Can't seem to get a straight answer for this. Some channel creators say that a PO300 random misfire can be caused by bad camshaft sensors but what if you don't get the P0340 code for them? When I ask that question they go radio silent. So if you change coils and spark plugs and assuming compression and injectors are fine and there are no vacuum leaks the what's left?
What are the symptoms of the vehicle? Is it stalling or having a hard time starting?
How did you verify for vacuum leaks? Did you monitor the fuel trims?
Here's my vacuum leak video th-cam.com/video/yNeWl2czii0/w-d-xo.html
Also might want to clean the MAF sensor and throttle body.
@@AnthonyJ350 It is rough idling and when you give it gas the CEL flashes. It hasn't stalled and it idles at 650 rpms. The idle is consistent but you can feel the lack of smoothness.

@@freej1286 This looks like an individual sensor. Make sure you or the ones with the angle you need.
So I've had this issue for a while now and i got the check engine light checked and it was the code P0021. Obviously i had no idea what it was so i ended up buying a new VVT solenoid and changed it. Then i did an oil change to the car as well. I reset the car computer and it was fine for like a day and the check engine light came back on only to find out it was the same code. What do you think the problem is? A mechanic told me i should change the camshaft sensors, I'm just trying to make sure I don't spend money on parts that don't need to be changed. The car has 148,000 miles on it if that is important.
I would change the camshaft sensors and the crankshaft. Seems all the VQ35DEs the sensors are all wearing out at this mileage point so it's a good idea just to change them regardless.
@@AnthonyJ350 I don't know much about cars yet but how much would it cost to change the crankshaft, it seems expensive 😬. Oh and i forgot to mention in my original comment that mines is an HR, not sure if that changes anything
@@artthoudoge-8458 Is there a reason you want to change the crankshaft? It's a full motor rebuild to do that.
@@AnthonyJ350 no i don't want to change it unless i have to, I'll probably end up buying the camshaft sensors thanks to your advice but in the event where changing the crankshaft I'm just wondering on estimated price
@@artthoudoge-8458 It's better to change them proactively, because if the sensor fails the car might not run and leave you stranded.
Question are the sensors suppose to have oil when you remove it ?
Ya they might have some oil residue on them.
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks a lot !
On the DE engines, what is the one above the right side cam sensor it too looks like a cam sensor as well? Of you are looking at the engine from the front of course?
We're doing the work at the back of the engine. At the front are you referring to the variable valve timing solenoid?
@@AnthonyJ350 no, on the right side top, front of my 01' Pathfinder, there is a sensor that looks like a cam sensor as well. Also On the engine that is in the pathfinder, it does not look like the same engine as in my 04' 350Z. My 350z def has the DE engine, but my pathfinder im not sure. Both are single intake motors. Im confused because im not seeing the cam sensors in the back of the pathfinder one. they appear to be in the front and then the 3rd sensor mentioned above. I wish I could send a picture to you cause im lost lol. Thank you for your reply
@@AnthonyJ350 Is there different configurations of DE engines? Because my 01' pathfinder engine looks different than my 04' 350Z. And Im not thinking its a REV up in the pathfinder because it doesnt have the two cam sensors on the bottom on the inside like yours does they are on the bottom on the outsides of the cams🤦♂️🤷♂️. Plus im not seeing any cam sensors in the rear of the engine as well.
@@djscottymaxx If you get a Haynes manual for your Pathfinder it will help you identify parts. The two vehicles' engines are in the VQ family but not identical.
I just got a code pop up, camshaft position sensor bank 2 and I’m getting misfiring and rough idle when I’m in neutral, if I change the sensor will I be good?
High chance. At this age of the vehicle, change all camshaft and the crank position sensor with Hitachi brand.

I have a g35 rev up if I buy 2 of each does it matter if it says driver side passenger side?? Or do I buy 1 driver and 1 passenger?? Would it affect?
I think what's most important is you take note which sensors have the angle on the plug and which are straight.
is a ecu reset and idle relearn required after changing all 4 in a vq35hr?
It would be a good idea, or at least disconnect the battery for a while.
I have a g37 coupe and camshaft sensor came up it’s hard to start and stalling through all gears but I just put another transmission in do you think it needs sensor or my trans needs to be reprogrammed

If u r getting a camshaft code on a 2003-2007 3.5 vq ur isn't the sensor it is telling j rhag it has low oil pressure at the sensor so usually the vehicle is just low on oil
Haven't seen feedback like that yet. How low of oil are you letting it get to?
@@AnthonyJ350 it was when I first bought the car but that is the reason it reads out of parameters, u can change it and run low on oil again and it will throw same code the guy before me did the same thing changed both cam shaft sensors usually it is the passenger side that throws the code since it is further from the oil galley that feeds the top end
@@1-Six-dee What year is your car?
low oil doesnt cause that code directly- low oil effects the cam vct solenoids causing code- 7yr master tech
