Desperate Help Needed!

02 Nissan Sentra GXE · Oct 23rd, 2003, 04:11 PM

First off, Hi!
I am new to this site and maybe I can get some valuable information from here! I have an 02 sentra gxe, with approx. 45k miles! It is going to be two years old next month in november. Yesterday my check engine light went on. I have a code reader and read the codes. First on is, P0340 "Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 or Single Sensor). The second code was, P0510 "Closed Throttle Position Switch Malfunction". The car idles very high and is stumbling all over the place. I have an idea where the camshaft position sensor is, but I do not have the wiring diagram for this car, nor do I have the repair manual. Can anyone of you fine people here lend a helping hand to a fellow car enthusiast? I really need my car to operate correctly. Best thing is, the car is out of warranty!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time in reading my novel!

Well, one problem fixed.....still threw the 510 code. Still need the other part, which is on national back order from nissan. Wonder how long that will take? I'm kinda tired of my sister driving my truck, but oh well, what can we do? Thanks for the reply chimike! really appreciate someone taking some interest in my problem....hehe
I'll keep the site updated!
