S0 today I was driving, car was driving perfectly and then I go into a store come out and it takes awhile for it to turn over. Service engine soon is a solid light. Any suggestions? Here's a pic.. also my mileage light is out but that has been like that since I got the car a month ago. Car has 75k miles.

 

Go to an auto parts store and have them read your SES/CEL codes.

 

This goes for anyone that gets a SES warning on their dash, we can't tell you what the problem or cause is...fact!!! You have to find out what code your ECU is sending by going to most auto parts stores or Nissan! Only then will you be able to fix whatever issue your car is having...not before or by asking us!

So I got it checked out.. I got the following trouble codes.

P0345

U1000

C1130

 

Good ol cam position sensor. Common issue for these vehicles.

 

I just went to midas and was quoted around 620 for both sensors.. does that sound reasonable? Also is it a major issue that should be fixed asap? Does it cause the engine to take longer to turn over Or would that be a different issue.

Sorry for all the questions, just not to car savvy.

 

620 is SKY HIGH!!!! ... the parts only cost like 60$ *u need 2 I believe*

labor time should be an hour or 2 max .. that's how long it took me to put mines in .. they easy to do .. just in a tight spot ..

 

thanks.. so is this something i should fix soon or will it be okay for awhile? yeah the parts are only 60-80 so im definitely going to do it myself. whats a good brand? i know some brands are crap and wont last to long.

 

go OEM on those if you want piece of mind, but plenty of people have no problems running the aftermarket replacements.


as far as a timeline on when to replace .. ASAP!

with it being bad, your car could cut off in mid commute and cause you to crash or other bad things could happen ... it is not something i would stand by waiting on.

just dont pay through the nose to get the job done...

 

Did the other lights come on at the same time?

The SLIP, VDC, and RAS?

 

yeah, but when i was driving today they were off other than the SES then they popped on and a few minutes later my engine shut off... im in the process of replacing them as we speak but cant seem to get the bank 1 sensor out.. any advice? i got the bolt out and the clip off.. just cant get the ****er out.

 

well... after about 2 hours and very sore fingers lol.. shes done! runs great and no lights on at all. thanks to everyone that helped! lets hope she lasts... iv heard people getting the lights on after they drive for about 5 minutes.. hopefully that doesnt happen haha.

 

Sweet...

How much did you end up paying for the replacement parts and from where?
