He has just came and lifted the car,started first time but he stalled it reversing it out,then it started the turning over without starting lark so i think hes gonna check all other aspects now as the P0340 has been leading him astray a bit,could be a coincidence that something else has happened at same time as sensors,meanwhile am back to driving a VW Crafter van

Since my last update heres whats happened,since replacing the 2 camshaft sensors,car was hard to turn over.Took it too my mates garage who ran a full diagnostic test by Snap on and was reading bad signal from the 2 Intermotor sensors,said they were of not a good quality and got replaced by genuine one plus a new crankshaft sensor.Said all is scopeing back a 100% so when i lifted it tonight the car turned over ok cold,but once i drove it home and tried starting it again it took for ages to fire up, The car drove without a misfire or problem and no lights on the dash,but not starting without alot of turning,he is stumped now too as he has got alot of info this week and feed back from Snap on,but to no avail,and he is a personal friend and not ripping me off with cost. Can anyone help with this matter now or is it a Nissan job

Its a UK model,parts where ordered under the license plate of my car so hopefully they are not for JDM'S .

Possibly,could be anything but you think the idea of the codes was to pin point the problem

If only it were that simple

HI FURTHER UPDATE ON POST LAST WEEK,WAS GETTING THE P0340 CODE ON MY 03 Z350 SO CHANGED BOTH CAMSHAFT SENSORS,BANK ONE WAS CHANGED TODAY IN A TYRE AND AUTOSHOP WERE I WORK BY THE MECHANIC,DUE TO A MIX UP BY LOCAL CARPARTS FIRM,THEY SUPPLIED ME WITH BANK 2 FIRST AND ON FIRST TEST DRIVE ALL LIGHTS CAME ON,BUT WHEN BANK 1 EVENTUALLY ARRIVED TODAY,ONCE FITTED ALL LIGHTS HAVE STAYED OFF AND UNDER TEST ALL FAULTS HAVE CLEARED AND ALL SEEMED TO BE GOOD. CAR SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR TILL I WAS GOING HOME AND IT WAS A REAL PIG TO START,KEPT TURNING OVER BUT EVENTUALLY FIRED UP,DROVE IT HOME LIKE A MADMAN AND TURNED IT OFF IN DRIVEWAY,TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT SAME THING,REALLY HARD TO FIRE UP. HAVE BOOKED IT INTO A DIAGNOSTIC COMPANY ON MONDAY IF IT STARTS TO GET ME THERE,BUT HAS ANYBODY ANY IDEA WHAT COULD BE THE PROB IN THE MEANTIME,CAR HAS NEVER GAVE ME ANY TROUBLE IN 8 YEARS ORIGINAL CODE ON OUR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AT WORK WAS CAMSHAFT SENSOR BANK 1 P0340..

Cheers lads,genuine Nissan one should be here tuesday at £88,hopefully that will be the cure

Thanks Sam, its a UK model but as usual i was told it was the passengers side one and replaced it and dash still lit up like an Xmas tree lol,told now 2 week wait for the other one,hopefully if i get one soon it will solve the dreaded P0340 code problem,sluggish starting and management light,ESP and bad traction light to disappear,and back to smooth driving,thanks again

Hi Can anyone tell me what side of the engine on my 03 z350 that camshaft sensor bank one is on???
