Beck/Arnley Beck Arnley 180-0490 Cam Angle Sensor

The mechanic where I bought my pathfinder had to swap this sensor a couple years before now, so whatever unit he put in there only lasted that long. This unit looks identical, except for the metal bolt bolt reinforcement ring is a gold color instead of a silvery color. I suspect that it's from a different manufacturer because of that detail. Hopefully this one will last longer, but for now, the car started right up and the dashlight errors went away right after swapping this out. Keep in mind that your car, if it's like mine (2006 pathfinder 4.0L), may not have much clearance to reach and swap this out. I highly recommend watching a video beforehand, as you will essentially be working with your fingertips and never actually see the area you're working on. High dexterity and working by braille are necessary for this job. Other than that nuance, I'd say it wasn't really any harder than changing the engine oil in the same car.

This fixed a hard/long crank to start and also fixed my xterra from stalling out randomly. Warning this is very hard to get to. Use a blanket and just lay on the engine and use both hands to get this bugger out from behind the engine. I used xterraclub article and pics and it took about 30 minutes per side.Given all the recalls for cars stalling out, GM, Ford, VW in recent months. This probably should have been a recall but wasn't (there may be a TSB on it but no recall). I don't think a stalled engine or a stuck accelerator is actually a safety matter but that is the topic of another discussion. I have had problems like that since my 1974 Datsun. Back then you kind of expected things to break and when it did you just pushed in the clutch, the engine roared or stalled depending on the malfunction and you pulled over with your manual brakes and your manual steering and got a tow. You also didn't pull out in front of something so big and fast that if your engine died, so did you.

I have replaced both sensors on my 2004 Nissan Quest when it had the following symtoms: Engine check light, slip indicator stuck on, engine quitting at low Idle.After replacing the sensors, the engine ran like new. I wasn't sure which sensor it was out of the two, but for the price, it's worth replacing both just as with a pair of light bulbs ( if one died, the other is soon to go ). The whole job took about 1/2 hour to replace both.

I was so scared that my Infiniti FX35 had something expensive to fix the first time the engine turned off in the highway, after reading the Service Engine Soon, I found out that the code P0345 was the one behind my SES light, so I read that it means that the Camshaft Sensor Bank 2 is defective so I bought this one, and it fixed the problem!, now my FX35 VQ35DE is working better that before! no SES, and my engine hasnt turned off since the change in the sensor, Im very pleased with the product!

Been working great for about a week so far. Previously, was having trouble with starting and died once while driving. Will update if there are any issues, but so far so good. Youtube and amazon saved me about $150-$200. I wouldn't say it's overly difficult to replace, but easy might be a stretch for a novice like me. If you have any mechanical inclination though, you'll likely breeze through it. After you get the throttle body off, it's as simple as unscrew bolt, pop off sensor, put on new one. Then two hoses to reconnect, put the plasticy infiniti mumbo jumbo back over the engine and you're good to go. A friend and I had it done in less than an hour.
