I have a 97 Maxima GLE. Recently my check engine light came on. I took it to Autozone and they said the Knoc Sensor was showing up ( i have read on here that does not happen). About 2 weeks later the car (while accelerating) somewhat died. I still had electrically power and the moter was running. When i gave it gas it did nothing. The power steering went out too. I would have to wait about
15-20 mins for it to turn over to drive it. I later took it to a Import Service place that I know and trust. They said it was a Cam sensor and they recommended going to Nissan Dealer. Nissan replaced a Harness that was worn out (cut). It did the same thing again. I took it back they replaced the Cam sensor. It did it again. I took it back and they kept it for 2 days drving it around different times of the day and different areas (dirt road, in town, highway, etc). They could not every get it to do what it did to me. I have it back and am nervous about driving it. No codes come up now on their computer. ANy suggestions? Need more info?
Thanks Erik
Actually looking back at my service receipt the description of the problem what they did says Cam Sensor. But i was charged for a Crankshaft postion Sensor. Are they the same?
