i have a 2004 enthu. model. 6spd. only mod done is jwt intake. just moved from FLA 2 chicago. temp finally droped drastically lasnite. and so, my car just started having the same issue. went 2 autozone and and hooked it up 2 a sensor reader and my car threw a p0345 code. associated w/the code is hesitation in engine turning over. after several attempts finally engine would turn over but, with all 3 lights turned on: ses, TCS, and slip. once engine is running, there is no sign of sputtering and im able to drive twice since lasnight so far thankfully w/out dieing out on me. any info or knowledge would be greatly appreciated. thank you..

 

p0345 is the camshaft position sensor. possibly need to replace it?

 

A simple search would give you complete details: http://www.nissanhelp.com/diy/obd_codes/p0345.htm

 

i hope thats wat the issue is.. hate 2 replace it and either it doesnt fix it or the same problem or another arises. thnx 4 tht link david

 

Look at that post carefully, it listed possbile causes of the code... and it did reference problems with the starting system and low battery. The latter makes a lot of sense if you recently moved to a colder climate and the CCA's are not what they used to be.

Possible cause:

•Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted)
•Camshaft position sensor (PHASE) Bank 2 may be faulty
•Camshaft (Intake) may be damage
•Starter motor may be faulty
•Starting system circuit
•Dead (Weak) battery

 

good point zazz, i did replace my battery the following day but, still did struggled during the cranking then would turn over. im hoping that it is the sensor. not sure whcih censor to buy b/c autozone was selling me 2 diff. kinds. one was angled sensor and the other was straight. how do i know which sensor i need?

 

physically get under the car and check the sensor.......its on the passenger side, if im right, just below the slave cylinder if you have a manual tranny....looking at car from front its at 5:30 position...

Ensure its in-tack and not loose, it has one bolt that holds it in, a 10mm....seen it back out before...

you have to remove the AFT front plastic wing shaped under tray to get to it easy...

Remove it completely and check it out...........the pic on the top right on the attached image has the face with eyes meaning "checking point"..............physically look at it and then ensure its okay, then reattach if it was loose at all..

pic attached...

Please see this post for some insight

The short answer is don’t use after market sensors.
