Do you still have your 350z? How's it holding up? I have a 2003 with a P0345 code on, I replaced both camshafts and a crankshaft (just in case) and I'm still getting the codes but I did use aftermarket sensors ( also from A1 auto😅) so I don't know if that's the reason why.
Also I have a knock sensor error code also and my mechanic replaced it but the code is still on :(
Yes I still have my 350Z and it's running like a champ! I see you got all three sensors from A1 auto right? You're going to need to purchase both camshaft position sensors from Z1 motorsports and replaced them. Then replace your stock crankshaft position sensor back in your Z. Now, you'll need to clear all your codes. This should fix your problem, the 1A auto sensors are just junk! I believe your knock sensor keeps going off because of the bad camshaft position sensors. I hope this helps, let me know if it worked and thank you for watching my video!
@@Zspeed thanks I'll report back when I install the ones from Z motorsport, and I got the crankshaft one from O Riley's , but I'll put the stock one back
Also did you end up fixing your Knock Sensor??
The problem with the knock sensor is because of the bad camshaft position sensor's, they aren't working correctly so it triggers the knock sensor. Once you replace the camshaft position sensor's your knock sensor problems should go away, theoretically!
@@Zspeed so here's an update, I replaced the sensor using the one from Z motorsport and I've driven it for about 5-6 hours and the codes went away!! Including the knock sensor! She starts up good as well. Man it's like your'e from the future or something 😅
Back from the future brother, glad it worked out for you!!!!👏👍
Love the intro!!! 😍
thank you for explaining how to remove the little plastic harness connectors. That's a tough nut to crack if you don't know what to do.
What a nice video and cute doggy, Ive done work on cars before but nothing like this, love the detail, great video
Thank you for watching!
Love your videos. Keep it up
Thanks so much for watching 👀 and don't forget to subscribe!!!
The tip on how to loosen the wiring harness, saved me much time and aggravation. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!!
I had a code reading for P0021 & P0011, got the symptoms you did, hard crank, cel & trction cntrl as well as slip but its reading for bank 2 instead of bank 1, do I just replace bank 2 or both?
Replace both, so you don't have to go back later and replace bank 1!
@@Zspeed thank you for being so active in comments! Replaced them and had the issues go away
Im confused on these engines, My Z is an 04' as well, my sensors are in the same spots, fine, but I also have an 01' Pathfinder and the sensors appear to be in the front of the engine and Im not seeing any in the back of the engine. The engine in my Pathfinder doesnt look like the same as my 350Z but they are both supposed to be VQ35 DE's. I saw other videos and they said the DE REV up engine has them in the front and the back so Im thinking the Pathfinder has the shitty engine but like I said I cant see any Cam sensors in the rear of the engine, any feed back is appreciated thank you for the video
Buy a Haynes manual for your 2001 Pathfinder, it's a great resource when you're trying to find sensors! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing, I was wondering about those Aftermarket sensors, Are they as good as OEM? Now I know!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching!
I replaced my camshaft sensor but still have the same problem I think is a fuse you know ware the fuse is located for the camshaft sensor
hey man, do crankshaft position sensor bad make tcs and vdc light pop up too ?
TCS and slip lights will Definitely trigger. I'm not sure about the VDC light! Use a OBD scanner to check the codes, hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!!👍
@@Zspeed opps my bad, its tcs and slip light, btw thanks man!
Parts store sensors are a hit and miss. You are exactly right if you have time OEM is always the safe bet.
Thanks so much for watching, Roll Tide!!!!
hello, p0300 random missfire could be a bad cam shaft sensor?
Nissan code P0300 indicates that one or more cylinders are experiencing misfires. A misfire occurs when an insufficient amount of fuel is burning in a cylinder. A misfire from one or more cylinders can be caused by many reasons from a faulty ignition system, fuel system or internal engine failure. That being said, when was the late time you changed your spark plugs and coil packs? More likely a bad coil pack than a camshaft sensor, a bad cam sensor is more likely to cause the engine to die while idling or have problems just staring! Hope this helps, sorry it to so long to get back to you, thanks so much for watching!
I went with an aftermarket one and it did fail so I replaced it with the Nissan original equipment sensor
Thanks for confirming my Suspicions!!!!
Hey man, ive read that the reason these sensors go bad is that some left over flux ends up ruining the solder joint inside the sensor and burns it up. It also said this was mainly a 2003 to 2004 issue upon deep research. My car has 175,000 on it with the ORIGINAL sensors and its an 07 coupe g35. So are my findings correct that this isnt that common for say 05 to 07 ? i have the later model 07. I dont wanna break down or be stranded but ive heard so much about it but the info i just sent shows me otherwise. I also dont burn any oil and i read about this a lot. My car had 3 previous owners too. What do you think? dont fix it if it aint broke? 175k is A LOT of miles but the car runs like a dream and i did update all fluids and thermostat, radiator cap, pcv valve, as i had a slight overheating issue then idle issue but all is resolved. Blah blah should i change my cam and crank sensors? Shit its even running original oem 02 sensors.
Go ahead and purchase OEM sensors at your leisure, when they finally do fail, then swap them out! Your right, don't fix it if it isn't broken!!!👍🏁
I just changed out both cam sensors and the driver's side is actually easier to do. It's a blind job, I did it all by feel with a 10mm wrench from the passenger side while leaning across the engine...took me about 5 min. The passenger side sensor is a bitch with that wire harness in the way. All in all, wasn't too bad, just a knuckle buster job and it frustrating dropping tools.
Glad you were able to change them out, thanks so much for watching!
The arm holding up my electrical is killing me. Ratchet gets in the way without an extension, harness gets in the way with the extension, wrench won't work because the bolt is over-tightened... wejfhqlwauhreflwe.
I don’t know if you still reply but i recently changed my camshaft sensor from autozone, but then still had a long crank 2-3 seconds, then replaced with oem but still same problem even having the ses light and slip light
Try changing camshaft sensor A, B and also the crankshaft position sensor together. I know it's a bit pricey, but these sensors often fail in tandem. I am leaving a link to a video on how to replace sensor B and the crankshaft position sensor! ua-cam.com/video/n_X2BYvY4ks/v-deo.html
@@Zspeed yeah its still bricked at the moment its drives fine but take a while to start and i still have the p0345 code, i bought the hitachi sensors for both sides, but only get the code for the drivers side, at this point i think it might be the connector, so i might try to replace that to see if it works, if you have any other solutions let me know, please and thank you.
hello friend, install the new sensors but still the same fault continues. Should I delete the codes after installing?
Yes delete all codes and let me know what new codes appear!!
IS THIS THE SAME CAMSHAFT SENSOR FOR THE 08 350ZHR?
No the sensor is different for the HR, go to Z1 motorsports for the correct camshaft senor and thanks so much for watching! www.z1motorsports.com/cam-crank-sensor/nissan/oem-vq35hr-vr30ddtt-camshaft-position-sensor-p-5716.html
Hi, do you know how to fix VDC off and SLIP?
It should reset after changing out your camshaft position sensors!
Strange my car has been giving me trouble with codes. Bank 1 o2 sensors low voltage and now intake valve solenoid and bank 2 cam sensor codes wont go away. o2 were replaced with denso sensors and nothing. Cam sensor was replaced with oem and I still have the code. Solenoid is aftermarket but still have the codes. Even with the codes the car still runs fine. No limp mode or any other lights like yours just the check engine light.
Did you replace both camshaft position sensors, A&B?
Z-speed no I haven’t :( I will purchase all new oem solenoids and bank 1 cam sensor soon. Hopefully it fixes it if not then I probably got bigger problems :( do both cam sensors work together?
No, you can replace either A or B depending on what codes your scanner gives you!
I used to love working on cars.. built a couple pretty fair street rods.. I'm totally lost on the new ones though. lol Must be an old person thing..hahahaha
Thank you for watching!
do you have the part numbers for the sensors?
Try Z1 Motorsports or ask your Nissan dealer for part numbers!!👍🏁💯
My 2004 350Z does this but is it supposed to stutter when you turn the key or? Like as if its trying to crank
It's possible, how many miles does your Z have on it!?
Z-speed 129k miles
I looked it up and I was stuck between the starter, camshaft, crankshaft, or the alternator
Start with the camshaft position sensor.
Z-speed alright thanks I’ll update if it works
I see what you mean by baked in there I’m doing mine rn and it’s impossible to get out I’ve tried about everything I can rn
Once the gray tab is pushed to the open position, try pushing the gray tab forward a little further with a flat head screwdriver, it might help break the sensor lose!
@@Zspeed I tried that and it didn't work i need up getting it out, I put it back in its hole but the bolt back in and then pulled it out that way after a little bit of elbow grease. 😅
I get no codes and my car just cranks would it still be the sensors?
Also I only had brake check engine and battery lights on only
What happens if you do all this without disconnecting the battery?
You my be okay or you my need to clear some codes after you start the engine.
Ok thanks for letting me know
Hitachi.
Period,
