EASY NOT!! P0340 camshaft sensor replacement Nissan Xterra 4.0L √ Fix it Angel

[@danhealy7341]

I really enjoy your videos. No annoying music, just the job. You manage to show how difficult Auto repair can be yet how gratifying it is to find and fix a problem. Please don’t stop.

[@dklovesvegas]

It was super satisfying to watch you dissect that sensor. So now we know.

[@artbeck9410]

I will say it took me about one hour to change the sensor, I only removed the breather hose and used extra long handle needle nose pliers to release the sensor! That being said, it only took that long because I watched your video over and over. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@willjj46]

Man! You save me a lot of cussing! That sensor and that harness were a pain! I'm pulling and pulling, failing to realize you have to push and then pull..smh. and the harness was jammed up just like your was. Great video and camera work. Thank you!! I'm back on the road and kept another dollar in my pocket!

Thank YOU! I dont know ANYTHING about fixing cars but your video was so detailed and helpful that I managed to do it! Thanks again and You now have a new subscriber!

[@jeffogar7088]

1am in my garage and I'm going through it with you... You the real MVP!

[@benjamin2362you]

this is pain in ass to replaced.. it took me 2 hours. Had my abdomen bruised. wire harnish wont badge out easily and connector compress and pull to remove. After even watched your video many times. mabuhay ka .saved me money.

[@andtotheRepublicfor]

I came from above (with feet over on drivers side) and with right hand felt for the bolt then took a box wrench and removed the bolt. But Still had to adjust wire harness to give more play to remove the bolt and the sensor (not much room). Then I used locking needle nose pliers with one hand and popped the sensor off the connector. This was on a 2008 Pathfinder. Took me about 20 minutes. Once I removed it I find out the replacement part that I got was not a true oem part because the housing was keyed incorrectly so I cleaned the one I just removed and reinstalled it ( course it still fails...) and then I ordered (made sure picture is exactly right) a different camshaft Position Sensor . At least I know now how to remove this easily. Without watching your video SIR this would of not been possible. Thank You!!!!

welcome brother

[@bucklmc]

Dude after watching several other videos that showed harder ways to do this I watched yours, was done in 15 minutes!! Thank you

[@scooterladuder]

been working on this for hours, watched your video and I was done in 20 minutes! Great video thank you for posting!

[@Mike-sy9fl]

One of the best how to videos on changing the sensors. Great camera work with great info.

[@jeffl2152]

Thank you for showing the Ohm values on the camshaft/crankshaft sensor. The values: 4.17 M Ohm between "1" to "2" and "1" to "3", 1 k Ohm between "2" to "3" are what I got from ohming on Nissan Genuine part. This is a good reference for guys buying after market sensor with much less cost.

[@Sroor90010]

Ok so used one 1,2 not same reading as 1,3 so thats why its faulty

[@mikimikoaj3322]

What should be the correct values?

Oh man.. I certainly appreciate this video you took the time to do. I need to replace and since I have more time then money (don't have $$ to take to a shop and for sure not a dealership). It doesn't look like the most fun but with your video it will make it that much easier. Thanks a ton!

[@nathanharper2616]

This video was super helpful. Just replaced this part myself. Saved me a couple hundred dollars.

[@ferndog1461]

Angel has EPIC battles with hard to get to parts. I love this channel.

[@Mcpheetersdoingstuff]

After watching numerous videos, I tackled these myself today. I did go with OEM NGK parts. Bank one passenger side is a pain in the ass but really only took about thirty minutes. I used a small vice grip to pop the sensor clip, that worked great! A little engine rebuild lube on the o ring of the new sensor and bamboo went right back in! Bank two, the drivers side took all of ten minutes, much easier. The parts and lube were 150.00 my time plus a great learning experience 100% free! I think I saved at least three hundred dollars by not going to a mechanic.

[@erichuff2538]

Best video I've seen on replacement of a part ever thank you. And great work.

[@nate3briley]

Thanks for the in depth video! The connector on driver’s side was a pain and I had to use needle nose vise grips with it pulled out of the hole to push it in far enough to release the sensor. This video helped me out a ton!

[@rbergevine]

I loved that you cut the old sensor open at the end. My mind works like yours - I am always curious.

[@goosrodz]

I did the drivers side last week, still had same problem. I did the passenger side today. Man!. You need a lot of patience for this. I did not disassemble anything except top cover. This video helped and I also used my GoPro camera for locating the bolt.

[@KM-nq8hy]

Gustavo Rodriguez I had to do the exact same for my wife’s 05 pathfinder. Replaced the one other one drove fine for 3 days problem came back. Did this one today and we will see how it goes... This video saved me!! I don’t know how he got a socket back there I used a 10mm wrench

[@lanmiran78]

I really like the way you do things, not too much talking always the right way and on point... Its kinda hard to find a really good and trusted mechanic that can fix cars like Angel...

[@picklerix6162]

Most of these Nissan camshaft position sensors seem to fail when they get contaminated with oil but the bank 1 camshaft sensor in my 350z seemed to be clean and yet it failed. Most of the other people in the Nissan forums recommended that both camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft sensor be replaced when any one sensor fails. I did replace all three sensors in my 350z. The people in the NIssan forums also recommended the Hitachi sensors. They said that many of the aftermarket sensors failed prematurely. As you found out, you need some strong fingers to push down and release the connector with one hand. I had to put the sensor back into the engine so I could get some leverage to remove the connector after I heard it click and release. BTW, the Hitachi sensors can be purchased at RockAuto for a very good price.

Have the sensor on order and will be attempting this install, tomorrow, on my 2006 Xterra. The only reason I'm attempting this, is because of this video. I hope the sensor gods smile down on me favorably.... ugh

I bet the service procedure states: 1) remove the engine assembly to get access to the sensor:(

[@eliezerramosjr1017]

SERIOUS I THINK THATS THE PROCEDURE PRIOR TO OK AFTER THIS PROCEDURE BRING TO THE SHOP FYI I AM A TECH AMD NOT STUPID 🤪 😒 🤣

[@samuelgranados776]

Any other Chanel’s wouldn’t show how to test it out.. you should do test what a good sensor looks like and what’s bad sensor looks like .. that way you have better options of hitting jack pot and replacing the right parts

[@metasdaddy]

Thank you. I was able to change out this sensor because of this video and others. Great job.

[@johnvillarreal750]

Great repair and i like the camera angles and the slow motion clip of van driving by. To funny.

[@LukeSlotWalker]

That was fun, great video as least you showed all steps. Don't remove engine assembly. No need just get in there

[@finasterideag]

Finally i did it, i recommend to change both crank shaft sensors at the same time, passenger side and driver side. Because eventhough i changed the the bank 2 first(passenger side ) becuase it was stalling out an the freeway and street, too dangerous, after 4 month the ignition key took so much time to turn on, some times it did not. Again the motor stall exiting a seven 7, i had to push my truck. After 3 days i decided to go to a nissan dealer and the cost was 150, i decided to go to o raileys because in autozone was out of stock. My nissan frontier 2005 now works smoth. The slip code disapeared and the crank turned on immediately.

[@charleywratten3771]

You are the man! Thanks brother!

[@mikimikoaj3322]

Hi, I had a problem with the P 0340 code, I replaced the sensor, everything was fine only when it warmed up, after shutting down did not want to ignite, after cooling again everything worked well. It turned out that the sensor under the influence of temperature changed operation. I had to buy a new sensor again and replace, this time I bought a more expensive sensor and the company "Delphi" now is all well, works as you need !! There are many parts that are of poor quality. Greetings from Poland.

awesome brother, you figured it out. i'm happy this video guided you. thank you for telling us the problem you had with aftermarket sensor. have a nice day.

Holy shit thank you so much for making this video. It helped me a lot. What a pain in the ass this thing is. Watched some other videos where the sensor is on the front and easy to get to. But on a truck? Nah, you gotta dry hump the whole engine compartment for 20 minutes while trying to removed this fuckin thing without being able to see it, press in the button from hell, and pry the thing out without destroying the connector clip.
