wow, lots of distributor problems lately. quick explanation as to why you got those particular codes. the oil got onto the camshaft position sensor, tripping that code. the ignition code you got because the vehicle failed to start. you have two options. let the dealer replace it and pay an exorbitant amount of money on a new distributor and labor. OR, do it yourself. you can get one from auto zone at about a third of what nissan will sell it for. now before anyone starts screaming that auto zone is junk, remember this - dealer will cost a little over 400 dollars for a new dis. auto zone will be about 165 and you get a LIFETIME warranty. dealer wont do that for you. scribe the old distributor where it mounts to the head. make the scribe mark line up with the center of the adjusting hole on the distributor where it can be easily seen. now you can safely remove the old dis. when you install the new one, make sure the shaft lines up with the notch in the camshaft. align the center of the hole with your scribe mark and the engine should still be very close to the correct timing. if you have a timing light, now would be the perfect time to use it. if these instructions were too vague, let me know and ill explain better. oh yeah, have auto zone reset the ecu once you are done. good luck!
