Update: im changing the knock sensor and harness that miketyler posted. my garage diagnosed it and said its a 300-400$ job. My original problem was the camshaft sensor bank 2. I replaced it and the car was fine but the 3 lights soon returned with the same p0345 aswell as the p0327 knock sensor code. Hope this helps its been such a headache.

 

you dont even have to take out the throttle body, its very easy to go around the plenum neck and do it thru there, i just did it in 5 min ( bank 2)

 

Went to autozone and it threw 0340 so its the passenger side apparently (bank 1)

Im going through infinitipartsusa.com and am confused which part exactly i need...item 6 right side or item 8 for the crankshaft. Trying to go off their picture too but not 100%

Any thoughts? Im thinking it should be the camshaft right side so item 6

 

Yes I just had to do all of mine I rather just do both and so to help prevent it from happening again replace crank sensor as well .. And I did all mine in like 20 minutes it was simple and never removed anything but the part there self .. Car runs great now !!

 

So they changed the knock sensor and harness. Car was fine for 10 minutes then the vdc abs check engine came on again. Brought it back to the garage AGAIN. Now its only p0345 but i already changed bank 2 a couple months ago. Am i wasting my money to change it again? O well will find out soon... biggest nightmare ever cant wait to sell the POS car

 

I haven't changed as many parts as you have but my local shop ask me to take it to the leadership and have them run some kind of oil test to see if any ports/passages are clogged on the bank 2 side of the engine after speaking to my local autozone manager (former Nissan tech) he recommended running an oil/engine flush and swing if that would work before trying anything else.

Hopefully will get a chances this weekend and will keep you posted.

 

About a week after I posted this the check engine light went off. My engine only "struggled" to start one time (the initial time) and since then everything seems fine and no lights. Should i just go ahead and purchase it?

Here's the link to infinitipartsusa.com for reference, still not sure which item/part i'd need

Thanks let me know! the garage just called me, they changed the bank 2 sensor again and they took it for a 10 min drive and said it was running good. Will see how long this lasts...

 

^did u use oem or aftermarket sensor for bank 2?

 

Used both and had the same result

 

when i had to do the passenger side sensor i first used orielys sensor but i had issues with it. replaced with oem and it was good after that

 

yes used oem aswell

 

The first time u changed it n it was giving u issues was OEM sensor or aftermarket?

 

just called my local dealer to see if they had the part in stock, and he's telling me there are 4 sensors......2 on each side? Then he goes on to say they are clogged up because I dont change my oil enough though i just did a month ago.

I thought there were only 2 sensors?

 

SayWat - you used the Oreillys and still had code and replaced with OEM and put out SES light? I still have SES light. Have changed passenger cam pos sensor (after market) and the dreaded knock sensor and harness but now have a new Intake valve timing code (IVT) P0011.

I am ready to step up to buy an OEM sensor but I would have figured someone here could confirm that they replaced the cheapie CPS with an OEM to resolve a P0011 code.
