Yeaa man definitely try the OEM o-ring! Can make all the difference in the world!

Thank you for the comment 🙏🙏

Awesome glad you got it done 🙌

Awesome! Glad to hear & glad it helped! 🙏🙏

same here sister! My arms were too short for the passenger side sensor, but a friend helped me out! LOL.

Thanks for the comment man! I hope so too! Good luck with the job!

​​@@TheOriginalBeeCeeit took us about 2 1\2 hours but we did it! It was tough disconnecting the sensor, took pliers and push the green tab in. Tight space was a beast, toughest part of the job. We tied a string to our socket wrench and on the bolt until we got it going into the threads just to be safe. Thanks again.

Good to hear! Glad you got it completed 👍👍

I appreciate the comment!! 🙏

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Lol I appreciate the comment! Thank you 🙏

Glad it helped! And wait till it cools off to work on it next time! Lol

You gotta really be forcing that thing in there to tear it up lol….but im not opposed to some o-ring lubricant 👍

I was taught to always put a little oil on all o-rings/seals before install....so I did this anyway!

Appreciate it! 🙏🙏

Can you not believe it though? Lol. But yea its the location that’s the worst thing about the job. But with some time & patience definitely doable.

I believe it, my dealership wanted $886 to replace spark plugs… I guess it takes an hours to remove the plenum apparently😂

They wanted 790$ to do mine in October if 2023. Lol.

Helpful video! I just did both sensors on my son’s 2010. For me, it was definitely easier to remove the sensor and then remove the plug. Both sensors took about 45 minutes. Dealership prices are for suckers!

I did my own. Still have issues

Appreciate it! 🙏

Appreciate the comment! Didn’t think of that, but whatever works! Seems as though it would suck regardless of the approach lol.

Thank you!!

I can’t get the bolt to loosen that’s been my battle

You need to mess with it and make sure its in there correctly. Could be as simple as replacing the o-ring withe original as I mentioned in the video. These aftermarket sensors aren’t the best and sometimes you gotta make some adjustments for them to work & read correctly

Good luck 👍👍👍

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Haha appreciate the comment 🙏🙏

They are definitely super tight. Definitely want the sensor out, as I outlined in the video. You really gotta press it in to get it to budge. Try using gloves to give you some extra press without hurting your thumb. Worst case, take some needle noses and press it in with some pliers to get it to break free.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Not at the moment, but ill have one in the next few months.

P0011 is in reference to the intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Nissan Vehicles are good for throwing both cam/crank codes with the p0011. Its a good chance its the solenoid, Replace the solenoid and clear the codes and you should solve the issue. The diagnosis procedure from Nissan’s FSM for the P0011 is 1. Check/replace intake valve timing control valve, 2. Check/replace crankshaft pos sensor, 3. Check/replace camshaft pos sensor 4. Check actual intake camshaft

It could potentially be the harness, but i would be more inclined to think its the sensor. If you still have it, try swapping the o-ring off of the OEM Sensor, clear the code…and see if anything changes. If that doesn’t solve the issue…you could always try warranty swapping for another sensor or testing the harness with a multimeter.

You have to change all 3 sensors because they all work together.

Definitely not the most fun thing lol

Naaa you definitely want to do it from the top. Would be even harder from the bottom IMO.

Its possible it might help some, but for the extra work warrantied, I don’t think the benefits outweigh it. This isn’t the most fun or accessible spot, but its not that hard that you need to start digging that deep into disassembling other things.

The P0335 is CRANKshaft Position sensor, not camshaft…which are the two outlined in this video. The crankshaft position sensor should be near the starter I believe. P0335 is crankshaft position sensor, whereas P0340 & P0345 are camshaft position sensors.

Most definitely isn’t the most fun thing to do

Really hard to say without seeing it man. Send me some pics on Instagram, @_beecee_

Good question! Really with any vehicle, this is a common issue and potential pain point. Personally, I had that issue with an Altima. Replaced CPS with a couple different advance parts, had issues….then put in an OEM Denso & it worked perfectly immediately. The Denso one even fit better. Which is something I touched on in the video, the O-rings. The problem with a lot of the aftermarket CPS’ is the o-ring isn’t perfect, and then it isn’t sitting perfectly once installed. So a lot of the time you can solve the issue with simply taking off the aftermarket o-ring & installing the old OEM one on the new part. In this particular truck in the video, I installed the advance CPS with the o-rings that came on them and it worked out just fine, so there’s that. OEM is always going to be the best option for something like a CPS, but you can definitely get away with utilizing an aftermarket CPS. I think you’ll be fine with the Hitachi, and if they do give you any issues just try swapping over the stock o-rings!

@@TheOriginalBeeCee Thank you so much for the Reply! The Bank 1 Passenger Side (Right) CPS was a Pain in the A due to its Crazy Tight Location!! Especially, not being a Mechanic, or being Familiar w/ where Things are by Touch & literally having to Feel your way around like you're in a Pitch Black Room while in an Unnaturally, Uncomfortable Contorted Position on Top of your Engine. 😂 It took 5hrs to Find, Remove & Replace the CPS. 🙄🤦🏼😂 However, once Replaced, my Pathfinder Fired right up, Beautifully, w/ no more Temperamental Stalling at the Most Inopportune Times. I'm Glad that I Spent the Extra Money on the Hitachi OEM CPS, which again w/ the Discount Code it wasn't much more Expensive than the Aftermarket Store Brand CPS. However, I Love knowing that if Money's Tight (which it was this Time, but I didn't know then what I know now), now I know that I could get away w/ Buying an Aftermarket CPS & IF it's still being Symptomatic after Replacement, the Problem could simply be w/ the O-Ring VS the Part itself & it could be as Simple a Fix as putting the Original O Ring (as long as it's in Good Condition) onto the New CPS, so it's able to seat Properly. I definitely appreciate that Gem of Advice on the Swapping of the O-Rings! Especially, since I didn't think to do both CPS (But, again, Money's Tight), so I'm sure I'll be having to Replace Bank #2 Drivers Side (Left) CPS, but HOPEFULLY it's in the VERY FAR Distant Future. Haha!! I need Time to Recoup after being in such a Crap Position for so long! Thanks again OG BeeCee!! 🤙🏻

Awesome! Glad you got it resolved, and glad i could help! Definitely a PITA, but good for you for sticking with it and getting it done! Hopefully you don’t have to do the other one any time soon! Btw, I see you have some videos helping stray cats & i just wanted to say THANK YOU! I appreciate you helping our furry friends…as they deserve a lot more love than they receive, and I appreciate your efforts to help! 😻

@@TheOriginalBeeCee HA! You're the only other Person I know that says "PITA". Anytime I've ever said that people were Confused by what I meant. Haha!! So, I laughed REALLY Hard when I saw that. 😂 As for my Homeless Buddies... Thank you! People don't realize just how much goes into taking Care of just a Couple, let alone 12 (It was 13, but Sadly, my Best Boy, Marco who was named after 1 of the Characters in the Lost Boys Movie, disappeared while I was Admitted in the Hospital back in November & he never came back... I'm still Grieving him, even though I'm holding onto a Shred of Hope that he'll 1 Day show back up. Last Year, I took in 2 Kittens in that were Born outside to a Feral Mom that in 6yrs I haven't been ankle to Catch, the Little Turd! The 2 are a Brother & Sister, that I named "Bodhi" & "Squirrel", who couldn't look & act more different from each other... "Bodhi" is a Longhaired Mainecoone Mixed Boy that looks like a Seal Point w/ Calico Colored Ears, whereas Squirrel is a Tiny Little Girl that I call a Tortabico (Tortoiseshell, Tabby, Calico Mix), bc she has all the Colors, Markings & Patterns of all 3. Then I have a Russian Blue Female named "Toots", an All Black Bombay Polydactyl named "Mr. Man" & an All White DSH named "Ingo". I've actually been doing ALOT of Research to start my Own Non Profit Organization, bc Colony Caretakers have Little to No Resources Available to us, bc you're only Eligible to Receive Government Grants & other Funding from Foundations & Peoples Estates who left Money in their Will to Help Animals, if you have an Established Non Profit. Unfortunately, the last few Months have been Ridiculous for Me w/ 1st ending up Hospitalized w/ Cellulitis in my Face back in November, which is so Rare to happen & I still don't know how it happened, but I had to be Transported to a Better Hospital to have an Emergency Surgical Procedure done, then in January I got Covid for the 1st Time & then last Month I got Strep, which I'd also never had before either & it was SO Painful, I started to develop a Fear of Swallowing... Bc it felt like I was Swallowing Shards of Glass, Metal, Rocks & Double Sided Sandpaper. Nightmare is an Understatement. Ugh!!... Then I just got a Phone Call from my Endocrinologist yesterday that I need more Blood Work done & another Thyroid Ultrasound bc they Located 2 Nodules & the 1 has all the Criteria of being something REALLY BAD. So, ALOT'S been going on, especially w/ needing to have 2 Tires put on & then the CMP Replaced, so I've been somewhat Sidetracked w/ Writing my Proposal for the Fundraiser. Anyhow, Grants only go to Established Non Profits & when you Contact the Non Profits & Rescues for Assistance who are Receiving Grant Money that they're supposed to be giving to someone like Me, I've been told over & over again that THEY need the Money... So they're getting the Money under the Guise of Helping others, but are keeping it instead. So, my Idea is to start my Own Non Profit, that I'll obviously have to Fundraise for bc I Read that it Costs approximately $3000 to become an Established Non Profit & then I can Apply for & Receive Grant Money from the Government, Estates & Foundations & then Distribute it to specifically Help other Colony Caretakers & once I get enough Funding, I can Branch out from there. Being a Solo Colony Caretaker is Expensive & I know of Caretakers who are taking care of only a Couple & I know of People who are taking Care of Colonies that 2-3x (24-40+) as many as I am by themselves w/ only 1 Income. I know what it's like to have to Pick & Choose what Bills I'm going to Pay & What Bills will have to be Late (Hence, How I ended up w/ a Tire that that got down to the Metal Threads Breaking & Sticking out like Broken Spokes on a Bike Tire... I kept pushing it bc I couldn't Afford it, but it finally Forced Me to Replace it & when I saw what the Tire looked like when they took it Off I almost had a Heart Attack bc of How Bad it was, bc all of the Broken Metal Threads were Sticking out towards the Underside of the Vehicle, so I didn't Realize just how bad it really was til the Tire was taken off! It was Uneven Wear, so the outermost Part of the Tire had Heat Tread, but the Innermost Area of the Tire was BALD, down to the Metal Threads. My Tire Light was on & I just thought I had a Shoe Leak or Bad Stem & would keep putting Air in as needed. Boy was I Wrong!! 😳🤦🏼)... But, anyhow it Sucks having to Pick & Choose what gets done, bc I need to Restock my Cat Food & other Supplies & I REFUSE to put them 2nd... They didn't ask to be Born outside, so I'm going to Help make them as Safe, Comfortable, Loved & Cared for as I can. I even keep Wet/Dry Food, Treats & Compostable Bowls in my Truck in Case I see any Strays in my Travels who look like they could use a Good Meal. That way I can put a Bowl down Fill it up & once they're done the Bowl will Break down & not Litter the Planet. Sorry so long!! I'm a Bit Long Winded when it comes to the Cats, unfortunately. But, anyhow, I'm DEFINITELY Excited about the Idea of having my own Non Profit Organization, but w/ Anything Good, it'll just take some Time. Thank you for the Kind Words! They're Greatly Appreciated!! ❤ & Thank you again for your Helpful Videos! Take Care! 🤙🏻 - Erin

Well im so sorry to hear about all your recent trials & tribulations! I surely hope its only up for from here! But i truly admire your dedication to continue to help all the cats you’re taking care of! Admirable! Best of luck with the non-profit and i surely hope everything works out easily for you! With your support & dedication for them it would be well deserved! Best of luck with the car and all the kitty endeavors! Thank you for caring & helping them!

Naaa…. if I did or if it was needed, I would have mentioned/outlined it in the video. Vibration is kind of a weird symptom of this though lol. But if you’re certain you’re getting an issue now you weren’t prior to doing this job…..make sure the sensors are in good. Might have to take them out reposition them make sure they are back in 100 percent, or use the OEM o-rings like I mentioned in the video depending on the brand, so the seat correctly. I’ve gotten part-stores crank/cam sensors before and unfortunately had to replace them with the OE brand sensor because they were cheap crap that doesn’t fit correctly. Had to recently on a 13-18 5th gen. Altima. Got a crank position sensor from advance, o-ring was crap and the harness connector barely clipped on. It “fixed” the problem, but still had occasional rough starts and would feel weird once in a while. I replaced it with a Denso sensor from Rockauto, Denso was the OEM brand of that sensor on these Altimas, and it worked perfect. Harness clicks in like a glove like the original did, and no problems since. Parts are worse than ever and getting a defective part is actually pretty common these days unfortunately, so don’t think cause its a “new” part that its good to go. If you’re having issues I would definitely double check the sensor(s).

I would say grab them from a local parts store. That way if there is any issues, you can easily go swap it out and you don’t have to fight with an online vendor with time, shipping, etc. And I touched based on doing one or both in the video @ 2:40.

Thank you very much@@TheOriginalBeeCee took me 5 minutes to took camshaft bank 2 out. However, it took me an hour to find out how to unhood connector. it took few minutes to put it back. Thank again. Hope you don't mind, I put the link for someone need to know how to unhook the connector like me to learn ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tMz83zc3bjo.html&ab_channel=Chorca

Probably hour on quicker side, 2 on the slower

🙏🙏

Like I mentioned in the video….they have to be in there perfectly, they are particular on exact placement…which in turn brings up another potential issue which i also mentioned in the video, which is the o-ring. Sometimes the aftermarket o-rings aren’t great and you need to reuse the OEM o-ring for proper fitment. Also, I recently did a crankshaft sensor on an altima, installed one from advance…and the harness wasn’t completely locking in and causing it to intermittently throw the code. Put an OE Denso sensor back in it, harness clicked in like a glove and no issues since. Just some things to keep in mind and check.

I'm having similar issues can't figure out

Thats a very subjective question to be honest. I’m sure there are shops that charge $1000 for this job out there….and some that would charge a reasonable amount, more in the $200ish range. I think I charged this customer $200-$225.

Ahhh man sorry to hear. Good luck on getting it situated 👍

2010 nissan frontier ..need help..lol

Is it just the light on, or is it still experiencing symptoms as well? Because you need to clear the codes/light manually with an OBD reader once job is completed

The oil seal was probably bad. New ones come with a new o-ring. Replacement should solve the leak.

Nope. I was hoping by all the information covered in the video that it would be obvious that if anything was needed, i would have reviewed & covered it.

​@@TheOriginalBeeCeeill send that other video to you so you see what i was refering to.

They were both pretty tight for me too and put up a fight. I hope you’re doing it with the sensor out of the motor….stick with it though you will get it…they are just super tight.

I Leave the sensor in place. Do not unbolt it. It will have a sturdy leverage to pull to connector. This way it will only need one hand to dislodged. Try it.

@ 22:12

@@TheOriginalBeeCee how do you clear the engine codes? I thought it would clear up once you put in the good working part? I haven't started the install but want to know if there is another step to do (clearing code).

@@sergiojimenez3620 you need to clear it with a OBDII code reader

No, Bank 1 = RIGHT Side = Passenger Side Bank 2 = LEFT Side = Drivers Side

Er orrr ott yooo

Thank you! Truly appreciate the comment!

Such a badass Timmy 💪

@@TheOriginalBeeCee LOL I AMN THANKS FOR THE BUT LOL WHO THE FUCK PUTS A TORQUE WRENCH ON A 10 UNLESS ITS LIKE A OLD CHYSLER VALVE COVER
