Yes, I'm new, but I've this is the 3rd nissan I've owned, previously I had a 96' Sentra, and 00' Altima which both ran great.
Last friday I bought a 04' Altima S 2.5 4 cyl, M/T 83,000 miles
The SES light was on, but it ran fine. Sat. morning it took 5 times to get it started and the idle was bounching up and down before it stablized. I took it to my mechanic on Saturday morning, and had him pull the code and it read Camshaft position sensor, so we replaced it. 10 miles down the road the SES light reappeared.
Monday morning (Rainy) it started up, drove it to work, then 2 hours later I went to drive it to the dr. and it wouldn't start for about 6-7 tries. Drove it to the DR.
Drove it back to work, and 1/2 mile down the road it shut off while I was driving it, got it restarted, and it died again while driving about 20 mph.
Monday took it to other mechanic, and he got the same code Cam Sensor so he wanted to replace it again in case the sensor was bad. Replaced it, did a hard reset, and gave the same code and the SES light is back on.
This morning car wouldn't start for 3 tries, got it started, and dropped it at the dealership, I told them everything, and now they have it.
Can anybody tell me what to expect?? Also, I've heard that the Crank sensor should be replaced on these too, would it need to be replaced even if its giving the cam code?????
Thanks
