I'm back again with a comment. Yesterday which was also my birthday I received the best presents by changing both camshaft sensors on my 2008 Nissan Maxima it took me about an hour I had a hard time removing the old sensors from the connectors for whatever reason they did nothing want to come out so easily. They were really saturated in what looks like motor oil for whatever reason but nonetheless I completed the job and I noticed a big difference in the way my car runs and it does not stall anymore. You will never understand how this video changed my life I know little to nothing about cars the biggest thing I ever did was change windshield wiper blades. A few months ago I let my mechanic install a new throttle body on my car, wish I knew then what I know now. Now I'm going to attempt to put on new brakes... Once again thanks so much
Good day sir. I watched another video on how to replace the camshaft the guy was extremely brief in the video so I did not feel confident with trying to do the procedure myself. I'm already handicapped and I only have one eye, I have filed for disability and my income is $0. I was able to come up with the money to purchase a cam shaft B1 which is what I needed unfortunately it is the harder one to reach. The other video that guy said to disconnect the battery. I am so confused, someone is telling a fairy tale about disconnecting the battery. I don't know either of you guys, but for some reason I believe what you say. Thanks for the tip because my mechanic said he wanted to charge me 600 bucks to do this less than 30 minutes procedure. And another guy said he would do it for 70 bucks, I feel confident in doing it for myself for free. I am grateful for guys like you, kind enough to share your knowledge with the less fortunate. I have a 2008 Nissan Maxima and because of my health my car is a necessity. Once again thanks for everything I'll be sure to like and subscribe
I am all the way in Chicago Illinois. If I thought my car will make it to NJ I'd be on the way. I'm just going to take my time. I'll definitely that you know how it turns out
Perfect, although I am mechanically inclined, it's always good to check for other experience on a particular model. You can learn a thing or two this case it's a maxima which I have aswell. 07 Maxima I replaced bank 1 but didn't think there was another cam sensor just CRANK sensor under the car. No wonder my car stalled after replacing the intake manifold the spark plugs and the coils. I will be checking this same problem that occurred to me aswell early in the morning. Thanks brother
I bought a 08 Maxima and it start bucking as I drove, turned off and the check engine light came on, I checked it and po340 came up, so I changed that sensor and 30 minutes later it done the same thing, I previous owner has already changed it before because they broke the clip on the sensor, so I simply changed both sensors the po340 and the po345 sensor, every since it's been purring like a kitten, so change both sensors and see how that does
Also check the connector. My bank 1 connecter had gunk in it and wouldn't clip well. Sprayed a bunch of brake cleaner in it and moved the clip back and forth until it moved smoothly. Check the grounds for the camshaft sensor wires as well. Under the plastic cover with the v6 3.5 l on it. They are right on top.
Ok. It's me again. Does it matter what brand sensor I use? I'm gonna attempt to do this myself. It's B1 do I have to do both? If the code only reads B1... I also had the throttle body changed a few months ago.it was a used one. I have this video memorized.any last tips you have for me
U can do one but usully every time I change I do both and if I do one problem occurs again with the other one but many many times I just do one as customer requested try to get good sensor avoid autozone I always had issues with their parts
I installed both new sensors and still having a boging/jumping noise going on when the engine is on. It runs for a second then cuts out, do you know how to help?
I had disconnected my battery an forgit to read the codes but my 2007 nissan maxima se jus only turns over but not start i have changed the fuel pump but it wasnt that so would u think its the camshaft sensor
“Slip” light “Service engine soon” Both on still car is stuck in 5th Hard to start. Exactly like in your video. But I changed both sensors to be sure the problem would go away and no luck :/
Hello I have a 04 maxima, it giving p0345 and p0011 code. I replace both of them with new aftermarket sensor but it still give me the error code and car is stall limp mode at 2000rpm. Could it be the sensor I got? Any other ideas. Should I replace the crankshaft sensor aswell? Thanks your input will greatly help
@@RBTheMechanic i replaced the following 2 cam sensor, the 2 VVT soliended, sparks plugs, coils and did the valve gasket while at it. I have people say to do a oil filter change and change the crankshaft sensor on the bottom aswell. I reorder the cams sensor again oem to see if that the problem.
@@rmc01p yuppp oil is one thing I was going to mention the VVT work of oil so if ur oil is wrong or low or dirty in can act up also check ur timing and misfire data with high end scantool
Thank you very much. Best video i have found on replacing po 345 sensors
Thank you!

Good job!! Happy birthday!!! Yup car will run better and start up stronger

I’m in bayonne nj I can knock it out for u if ur local I find both to be easy

@@nfamissful oh yeah ur far I’m sure u can do it

You change both sensors regardless if one is giving issue
I bought a 08 Maxima and it start bucking as I drove, turned off and the check engine light came on, I checked it and po340 came up, so I changed that sensor and 30 minutes later it done the same thing, I previous owner has already changed it before because they broke the clip on the sensor, so I simply changed both sensors the po340 and the po345 sensor, every since it's been purring like a kitten, so change both sensors and see how that does
I hd similar issue I replaced both cam sensor not one
Also check the connector. My bank 1 connecter had gunk in it and wouldn't clip well. Sprayed a bunch of brake cleaner in it and moved the clip back and forth until it moved smoothly. Check the grounds for the camshaft sensor wires as well. Under the plastic cover with the v6 3.5 l on it. They are right on top.
Oh nice I had one just yesterday it wasent working cuz bad connector
Did you use a 6 inch extension for bank one? The 3 inch one that came with my socket set did not work as area is tight
Not sure I think I used longer than 6
BADA BING BADA BOOM!
Yup
Ok. It's me again. Does it matter what brand sensor I use? I'm gonna attempt to do this myself. It's B1 do I have to do both? If the code only reads B1... I also had the throttle body changed a few months ago.it was a used one. I have this video memorized.any last tips you have for me

Check. Live data for misfire and crank sensor siginal
I had disconnected my battery an forgit to read the codes but my 2007 nissan maxima se jus only turns over but not start i have changed the fuel pump but it wasnt that so would u think its the camshaft sensor
U need the codes scan the car it might have codes
I replaced both on my car and no improvement at all. Any suggestions?
What is the code?
It was the one for the camshaft position sensor. Bank 2. I replaced both though.
“Slip” light
“Service engine soon”
Both on still car is stuck in 5th
Hard to start. Exactly like in your video.
But I changed both sensors to be sure the problem would go away and no luck :/
@@adamsalazar9301 didn’t scan and get the codes?
P0340

That code p0011 is for vvt that can case stall so change that
@@RBTheMechanic i replace both from bank 1 and bank 2 at the same time aswell.
@@rmc01p u replaced the vvt ? In this I show cam sensors not vvt

Which clips? The green ones?
