Need Help!!!
A couple of days ago my 2000 Nissan Frontier 3.3 with about 145k miles on it started missing really hard. My Service Engine Soon light came on so I pulled over, and finally it died. I checked the Engine code and it showed a Camshaft Position Sensor. I could get it to start by spraying carb cleaner into the intake just to see if it would start, and to my suprise it did. A day later, I come back, and I have no fire nor am I getting any fuel. I talked to a pretty good machanic about this, and was told that if the Cam Sensor was bad I would loose both fire and fuel. Now I am going to replace the distributor since the Cam Sensor is built into it. The question I have is: Has anybody else had this same problem, and when I replace the distributor does it matter on this model whether the engine has to be in compression when on Top Dead Center? I did not know if it would matter on this new of a model, since it is computer controlled. This is really the first thing that has gone wrong with this truck.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
