  • We install new camshaft position sensors in my 2005 Nissan 350z after diagnosing the symptoms like my check engine light, P0340 code, and stumbling engine! This process works on any VQ35DE motor (including the Infiniti G35) that has 2 sensors, and is similar in process to other vehicles. Doing this DIY along with other preventative maintenance can help your car drive smoother, shift better, and even restore lost horsepower!
    Here is the link to the camshaft sensors used in this video + the the crankshaft position sensor, and the other parts on my 350Z :)

    Im glad this fixed your issue, and no hate meant but you skipped to like step 7 for this DTC. The Factory Service Manual is available for free from NICO and it has troubleshooting steps for each specific DTC in the EC section. Most of them are simple tests that cost nothing and help you find and confirm the actual issue instead of firing up the parts cannon and hoping you fixed it.

      i’ll take a look! i guess i have a different view of the “parts cannon” thing, but that may be because i’ve mostly dealt with broken parts that are visually or obviously diagnosable. i also just enjoy spending money on and replacing old parts on my high mileage cars 😂anything electrical or sensor related is pretty new to me.

    Hey Chris! Great vids man. Quick question, my G was acting completely normal before I let it sit for a few days. Started her up and she had a rough start and idle for a few minutes before acting normal again. New plugs, coil packs, clean air filter, fresh oil and other maintenance done months prior. Any ideas?

    hey Chris, thank you for the amazing videos. It's happening a lot. I wanted to ask you about my car while I was driving on the highway. The TCS and slip lights were turned on and I the car wouldn't take any gas so I had to stop on the side of the road turn it off and turn it on again and everything went back to normal. What could it possibly be?
