Thanks!
Oil level is fine I am pretty sure the oil is 5w30, last oil change was done at the dealer about 3-4 weeks ago. I posted a new separate thread on this so as not to hijack this one because I got more 'news' after taking it to the dealer yesterday to check on the CEL

Been reading all these threads covering the p0011, 21, 14, and 24 codes (im having all 4 simultaneously) and tried numerous methods to solve this problem so hang in with me while I explain my situation. Bought the car (08 with 39k) incredibly low for how many miles it had, so when I got in and hooked up my pocket reader and saw the codes, I KNEW I might spend a few g's in replacement parts.

So far I've replaced
oil twice (5w30 full synth. Once cold and once hot)
BOTH 11 and 21 sensor timing covers w/wiring (sensor 0011 had 3 of 4 pins missing from physical damage)
Checked all my fuses and wiring
Pulled the front cover off my block and checked the chain and gears. No wear whatsoever.
And I've done numerous reset/relearns throughout the entire process.

Is there something I'm missing?

Also, done mechanical timing alignment when front cover was off. Timing was spot on. So I feel better about driving the car around while I troubleshoot (haven't driven it in a week)

Bump!

I'm going to make a new thread this weekend about my P0011 and 0021 experience. Suffice to say it's a PRICEY experience but it appears that the issue wasn't addressed in post 22 ... turns out as per my shop (also a well known engine builder/tuner on this site) advised me they're seeing a lot of oil galley covers and gaskets going south for no reason. It's not related to mileage or abuse, it's just a freak thing. Stay tuned.

It's been a year since my issue, luckily got fixed and so far so good (knock on wood). As dilat3d mentioned, mine too was the gasket, and it is a PRICEY experience, I ended up spending around 3 grand after all was said and done. It was still less than the 5-6 grand which was the quote for a new engine from Nissan, which was one of the options I was given. For those interested my thread was at:

Including a pic of the blown gasket... Hope no one has to go tru this crap, it was beyond frustrating.

old thread I know, but this morning had a customers car throwing both p011/21 codes. checked the oil and it was crazy low. did an oil change and took care of the issues.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but i have just gotten these codes and needed some feedback. I recently installed a jwt clutch/flywheel and after driving the car my SES light came on on my 03 350z de 6m/t. Car was runnin like a champ but after i installed the flywheel and clutch i got error codes and using a scan tool i got the following codes: P0011 P0021 C1145 C1143 C1109...Not sure if it was because of the install or because of the colder weather and i had it parked for about a week while my parts came in..
I already did an oil change using 10w40 (thought maybe thicker oil would be a possible solution), changed oil sensor and filter, replaced the battery and I even took the tranny apart again to verify i installed the flywheel correctly and everything seems fine.
Upon a cold start my car turns on and oil pressure and amps are good but after im driving and i hold clutch in or go into neutral the oil pressure, revolutions and as well as the amps go down and car turns off even while driving!.. Whenever i try to turn car back on the only way to turn it back on is to rev it a little so pressure goes up otherwise it will want to start but oil pressure would be to low and car will shut off.
So rather than to start throwing money at it i figured id get some input since my next thought was to replace solenoids and sensors.

I'm reawaking this ancient thread. I FINALLY after 7 years of owning the car, figured out my issue. I bought the car with approx. 60,000 miles on it 7 years ago with these P0011 and P0021 engine codes. Today I finally needed to install a new clutch at 144,000 miles. Upon removing the flywheel, it was almost 180 degrees out from where the alignment pin was supposed to be. I installed a new flywheel with my clutch and installed it in the right orientation. I just took it for about a 25 mile test drive and stopped and restarted it in the middle of the drive and light seems to be staying off. Flywheel alignment pin in the wrong spot on the flywheel seemed to cause my Cam sensor codes! This is like a whole new car again....
