Camshaft sensor problem
I need help. I have identified that my Bank 2 camshaft sensor is faulty. Bought the sensor got everything off and got to the sensor. Now i am stuck b/c I can't separate the sensor from the pigtail (connector). I have thought about replacing the whole thing but you can't buy the connector. Any advice or ideas?

P1078 Error Code Stays Alive Regardless - Help Please!
I went through the procedures of Throttle Valve Closed Learning, Accelerator Pedal Position Learning, Idle Air Volume Learning, Exhaust Valve Timing Control Learning, and Idle Speed Learning, but the Service Engine Soon light comes on, and the high idle problem remains.
I'm at my wit's end with Old Reliable (2006 G35 6MT, well-cared for, 124K miles), and would welcome any enlightenment and/or advice on how to remedy the above.
Thanks in advance!

Hi. I have the same issue. I replaced crankshaft sensor. then i tried to put green connector back.
I hear the click but it does not stay put. I can easily pull it out with pressing green button.
Did i break it?
Now what should i do? buy a new connector?

had the vdc slip and check engine light pop up.
Replaced the passenger side cam sensor and it started right up without issue and lights went off. But I can’t drive above 3k rpms. Engine bogs down even at half acceleration still

VDC/Slip lights are part of the steering angle, wheel speed, yaw control, traction control systems and are not related to the cam sensor in any way.
What diagnostic trouble code caused the service engine light to turn on? If you didn't get it scanned for the code then put the original cam sensor back in and get it checked, non-Nissan cam sensors are notorious for not working properly.

There are three sensors- left, right and near drive shaft. Please replace the other two also.

No codes are active anymore. Before the code was p0340. Cam shaft position sensor bank 1. I’m a little tight on money so I attempted the auto parts store route for the sensor. Bought it and installed it. Cleared up every light. Only issue is I’m pretty sure the computer is not having its readings. So I’m gonna have to go oem. Anyone know where I can grab an oem for less than 130 lol. Also full intentions of replacing the other 2.

No worries, for the bank 1 our local infiniti dealer wanted ~ $180 and Nissan wanted ~ $150. Amazon has surprisingly good prices on OEM parts and all the parts I have bought there come from dealers.

I'm resurrecting this thread, because I have the same issue, and have done the same (replaced exhaust valve timing sensor on passenger side) in trying to correct the same problems. Problems being, the Service Engine Soon light continues to stay on, even after I removed the negative battery cable for two days, actuated the brake pedal a number of times before re-connecting the cable, and the idle remains high, anywhere from 1,100 to 1,300 RPM.
I went through the procedures of Throttle Valve Closed Learning, Accelerator Pedal Position Learning, Idle Air Volume Learning, Exhaust Valve Timing Control Learning, and Idle Speed Learning, but the Service Engine Soon light comes on, and the high idle problem remains.
I'm at my wit's end with Old Reliable (2006 G35 6MT, well-cared for, 124K miles), and would welcome any enlightenment and/or advice on how to remedy the above.
Thanks in advance!

Replaced both the sensors in the back but the P1078 came back. I can't figure it out.
Were you able to correct the issue?

Did you unplug the harness and read the wires back to the ECM to verify they aren't shorted up against something or broken and not sending a signal? If you used a Hitachi or OEM sensor and the problem still exists I would suspect the harness or wires are bad.
