I’m glad you followed the manual. I appreciate the step by step process (including showing the reverse). I also appreciate you’re intelligent and don’t take shortcuts.
Excellent video. Fixed P0345 Bank 2 CPS on 2005 G35 Coupe following the instructions. I recommend getting the 23731-AL61D OEM part or the Hitachi equivalent CPS0013 (previously CPS0005). Thanks!
At first I tried the shortcut because I could see the driver side Camshaft position sensor from the passenger side. However, I was mistaken and changed the wrong sensor. Did not want to remove the throttle body, but it was so dirty I took it out to clean it. Once removed, changing the Bank 2 CPS was easy. CPS fault was fixed, but due to disconnecting the throttle body a Service Engine fault P0507 High RPM posted. Getting it to clear was a real problem. Performed the procedure several times, but problem persisted. Thought my cleaning or handling damaged the throttle body so I installed a new one. Also replaced the two air inlet hoses (one of which was split). I did the relearn again but problem remained. Pulling out my hair at this point and ready to take it to a dealer. Found a slightly different procedure on CZcams and it worked, while the Haynes and throttle body manufacturer procedures did not. Try the Idle Relearn by Motordyne G35.
Great video. I changed it blind, from the other side. but someone had broken the lock clip on the plug, and after 3 auto zone lifetime replacements all failing to fix the hard start, I figured it must be the plug. This video shows me how to get where I needed to be to replace the plug for the sensor. Thanks!! PS Hitachi is Infiniti's manufacturer for These sensors. Bank 2 (angled) CPS0005, and CPS 0008 (straight) passenger side. Aftermarket parts for this application always seem to fail. You can pick up both sensors from rock auto for less than $100.00 for both!
@@ClaudBol for my 04 g35 you have 2 cam sensors angled on drivers side, straight on passenger side. You also have a crank sensor between engine and trans., under the car. Go to zspeed.com/ great site great, customer service, has everything you need for a great price!!
@@ClaudBol what model? Most have 2 cam sensors and 1 crankshaft sensor. Camshaft sensors are on the back of the engine, just below the heads. The crankshaft sensor is between the oil pan and transmission. If it's a 6 speed manual, or a turbo or an IPL, throw out everything I just said, and look it up on CZcams. Put the 1st 5 or 6 digits of your vehicle I.D. number, or look it up on an Infiniti parts page.
You did it the hard way. I just did one on an '05 without removing any of that stuff, took 10 minutes tops. I used a pry bar to hold the hood fully open for more space, not necessary. Come in from the passengers side with a 10mm socket to remove the screw. Pull the sensor out, had to pull & wiggle pretty hard to pop it free. I used a long nose pliers to squeeze the connector tab. Put the connector onto the new sensor and release the tab, install into engine and install screw.
Hey DonsiGT230, great idea! I just followed the service manual process (I know not always the easiest way) So you were able to reach all the way over to the driver side and see what you were doing entering from the passenger side?? If the sensor goes bad again I'll try it that way. Thanks for watching.
@@attached2mygarage37 From memory I couldn't see, I think I did it by feel. It was pretty easy for me, but I have better than average feel & dexterity. Despite that I don't think it would be all that hard for anyone accustomed to working on stuff.
@@DonziGT230 I used your method also. Couldn't see it but could feel it. Undid the screw, pulled it out, then I could see it. I'm not very accustomed to worked on stuff, so if I can do it, most people could.
You can do this job from the passenger side of the motor and avoid all those unnecessary steps, but this was a nice commercial for the blue tooth code reader
Great detailed video of the procedure. I know there are some folks that forego removing the throttle body and intake hose because they reach under those components while standing on the passenger side fender; but ultimately I think your process is easier because you get much easier access to the sensor; AND you get to clean your throttle body - Bonus! . Thank you, as I'll be doing this today.
Thanks for this excellent DIY video. This was very helpful to change the bank2 CPS for my 2004 Infiniti g35. While doing this, I also changed the AC air filter. This allowed me to also clean the throttle body. Truly appreciate your help in providing detailed DIY video. I also changed bank1 CPS. But I used $40 after market parts (for both sensors) from 1A Auto and hope they last. They seem to be working and the car is not stalling anymore with the Slip indicator. If these sensors go faulty as you indicated in the next few months, I will get OEM parts. Keep up the good work bro!
Thanks bro this video was great!! I use your method along with another where I go in on the passager side. I still took off the intake but, left throttle body on and got to the sensor with no problem. Once again thanks and great video bro.
Hey NeoAndersonReloaded, Thanks for watching. Yeah trouble codes can often be symptoms of various different root issues. Getting a battery tested is free at most AutoZones and Advance etc. so if you think your battery is on the fritz you might start there. Cheers!
Nice detailed vid. I got a 06 g35 rev 6m. I'm wondering why my car driver side camshaft sensor is str8. I need to change mines also. I'm not sure which to get, str8 or curved.
Since I've changed my cam sensor, I'd realized the engine has four cam sensors. Two on both bank sides. I'm like wtf... but good to know now. Glad I got the right one.
so my code is "p0340 camshaft position sensor bank 1" Bank 1 is passenger so idk if that's right or left. The link you have below is for left. Could you help me figure it out before I buy my part off partsgeek.com Every video for bank 1 the part is different but on parts geek the part looks like yours but your replacing right side I. I have to replace bank 1 which is not the side your doing.

how many do a 2012 g37 camshaft sensors have? so hitachi is the manufacturer

Are the rockauto maf you rhino might be the same as the dealer?
Do you have an idea of where the camshaft semsors might be located on the g37? All I see is videos of the g35

Very thorough. Meeting the same challenges. Hoping for a quick replacement.
Followed it step by step and Boom!!! Saved myself $220 dollars and time. Thank you!!! Thumbs up!!! Liked and subscribed!
by far the best video

Great vid.. is Denso a good brand to buy the sensors? It's a little more expensive than moisten and walker parts..

THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Glad it helped. I plan on loading more G35 repair videos in the future.
For sure! Hope it helped!
Thank you for posting!
GREAT VIDEO!!
very good video.
it sucks how these motors blow these sensors.
looks like just like with any job, all the perfect tools make life easier.
Right on! Yeah this is my second time replacing this sensor. What gives. Otherwise the VQ motor is great.
Nice detailed vid. I got a 06 g35 rev 6m. I'm wondering why my car driver side camshaft sensor is str8. I need to change mines also. I'm not sure which to get, str8 or curved.
Since I've changed my cam sensor, I'd realized the engine has four cam sensors. Two on both bank sides. I'm like wtf... but good to know now. Glad I got the right one.
Passenger side is straight, driver side has the bend in it. I'm pretty sure it's the same through out all the VQ Engine model years.
hey, I have 188K on my 2004 Sedan. Experiencing the same problem.
thanks my boy this video help me
I broke the bolt off that holds the Camshaft Position Censor in the motor... what do I do now?
Nice & detailed vid. Thanks man.
Hope it helped! Thanks for watching.
I would like to know how long did this Hitachi part last or is it still working?
I was just wondering, what’s a good place to buy oem part’s? Is autozone good?
NO, they are ok for some things but usually not sensors like this..
Good video !! Thanks 👍
Thanks! I've got a couple other projects related to the G come up soon. Just got some new wheels and painted them with prismatic (holographic) paint.
Do you gotta get an o ring for the sensor?
Mine came with a new o-ring.
Is a pneumatic ratchet necessary??
Nope, not necessary, but makes the processes quicker. Standard ratchet will get the job done. Thanks for watching.
so my code is "p0340 camshaft position sensor bank 1" Bank 1 is passenger so idk if that's right or left. The link you have below is for left. Could you help me figure it out before I buy my part off partsgeek.com Every video for bank 1 the part is different but on parts geek the part looks like yours but your replacing right side I. I have to replace bank 1 which is not the side your doing.
Bank 1 is passenger it's the straight sensor with no angle . Bank 2 is the sensor with an angle located passenger for anyone wondering.
