Sup guys,

THE REVUP AND DE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS ARE DIFFERENT

I came straight here when I got my P0345 code from my car. I was given multiple answers to the question. Not blaming anyone, but we should get this addressed correctly before someone runs around buying expensive cam shaft sensors from the dealership...like I did. The craziest part, the Nissan dealership I went to had no idea and no good diagram of the Revup engine and it’s sensors, ONLY DE.

My car: 2006 Nissan 350z base Revup
(revup part is the MOST important part to this post)

Symptoms: Car would start fine. After driving 20 minutes towards work, car would feel like it began to glide and catch back. No other easy way to explain it for someone who isn’t very mechanically inclined. Car would catch itself so fast (barely a second) that I really couldn’t tell if the gauges moved.

Read:
I’m not 100% about automatic, but, 2006 NISSAN 350 REVUP 6mt HAS 4 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS, NOT 2. THERES 2 ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND 2 ON THE PASSANGER SIDE (North American vehicles)

How I found out:
I went to the dealership to get a driver side cam shaft sensor and it was Angled. When I stretched my hand to the driver side from the passenger side to fix that banks sensor, it was a straight looking sensor, no arch. So I drove back to the dealership and got a straight looking sensor (looks like the ones for the passanger side(North American cars).

Thats when I put the new sensor in my car. Cleared the code.
Cat felt like it was driving better and I didn’t get any codes back...until I drove it the next day.

Got a multimeter. I read if your battery is bad, it could be not shooting enough juice to the sensors. Checked my battery, good. Checked my altenator, good. Checked all cords, good.

I seen someone say that after changing their oil then doing the idle reset, after changing these sensors, can correct bugs of it coming back, even when the sensor was good. So I changed the oil and did the reset, responded the same. Code came back after 30 minutes of driving it.

Checked the sensor, good. Checked the sensors port, good. Cleaned both, cleared code and no issue for a day.

Finally, I watched 100 more videos on YouTube of people changing their sensors and that ONE kid who has only a few thousand views to his video enlightened me with the answer. Our cars, revup use 4 sensors; 2 on passenger and 2 on driver.

Changed the other sensor on the driver side and BOOM no code, car drives crazy good.

Cam shaft position sensors are a common Nissan problem. You’ll keep getting that banks problem if both of them are bad. One of them can’t be good and one can’t be bad. They both have to be good.

Ill include pictures for proof, after doing some research.

 

 

Do you have by any chance the Part Number for te 4 sensors? Or is it 2 pairs of the normal angled and non angled sensors?

Thank you

 

thats correct, there’s two pairs. Each pair contains a angeled and non angled sensor

 

Thank you!
