Help cant get car to start
Alright hoping for some good info because im out of idea's. Last week I was taking my car on a trip so I decided I would give it a mini tune up and cleaned my K&N and added some fuel treatment. Drove 400 miles to CA while I was there my slip light came on when I hit the gas followed by the service engine soon light. The car still ran fine and after a couple hours the service engine light turned off.
Now fast forward a week my wife goes to start the car at the store and she says the car started and shook like crazy then stalled. She retried and same thing. Finally it just stopped starting altogether. Now it just cranks and cranks but wont start. I read posts and thought changing my cam sensor (passenger) might do the trick but still nothing. Also reset ECU but still nothing just cranks. Battery is only a month old so i doubt that as lights are not dim and its cranking, checked all fuses and still nothing. I would take it some where but its dead in my garage (after being towed home) and dont want to keep throwing money away.

Well it was worth a shot still nothing when I unplugged the afm. When I oiled the filter I actually did it the night before so the car sat at least 6-7 hours before I drove it. Pretty sure I got the right sensor, I removed my passenger side sensor and took the part to Nissan and me and the parts guy matched it up as the passenger side cam sensor bank 1. I guess I could try doing the other sensors too next. I had just searched around the forums quite a bit and most guys seemed to be fixing the passenger cam sensor as a fix so I went out on a limb hoping for the same. I think I may just have to break down and get it towed to the dealership. still just cranks and cranks

The important advice here is to have any error codes read and go from there. If your SES light isn't on that might be a little more problematic, but the codes if you have any will point you in the right direction. Otherwise you are just shooting in the dark guessing whay your problem might be.

alright I broked down and bought a scanner, should have done this from the start as you all mentioned. Well I got 6 codes here they are:
P1124, P1121, P0223, P1121, P0223, P1224
I looked them up and they all seem related to the Throttle position or throttle sensor. Any idea on how to proceed. I appreciate the help.
