HI Chuck! The cam position sensor is inside the distributor on the quest. If the cam sensor has gone bad you need to replace the distributor assembly as it is not servicable. Before replacing the distributor, take the cap off and make sure the rotor is turning when you crank the engine. If it is not then check the timing belt as the distributor is driven by the cam shaft. If the belt is broken the cam shaft will not turn and you could get this code.The cam sensor is located under the plastic cover located under the rotor button

    Thank you, It's odd I kept getting a crankshaft sensor code so replaced it. Then when it came up again a mechanic said possibly it's a cam sensor. I checked with fixya. Also I called my Iocal Nissan dealer to order one since none of the Iocal auto stores could order one. The dealership said it didn't have one. So as you say it's part of the distributer that I'd b need to order.

SOURCE: 1997 nissan quest camshaft sensor where is it & how to replace it

The camshaft sensor is located inside the distributor and is part of it, in order to replace it you must replace the distributor,to replace remove the dist cap. mark the location of the rotor,by marking where its pointing to, then mark the dist housing, so now theres a mark on the rotor and housing to show where rotor points, next mark the location of dist going into housing, mark the shaft and the block,because it spins in block this way you can line back up.next remove hold down bolt and pull out,mark the new dist in exacat same spots as the old so you can install back the same,you may have to put it in and pull it out until your marks are lined up,this way the timing will be dead on, when done you can check timing. good luck

Does my 2002 nissan quest have a timing belt or chain

you do have a timing belt. this engine is actually a NON INTERFERANCE engine. if you t-belt brakes, engine will be ok. have seen it plenty of times. to quickly check if your belt is broken/not good, simply remove the distributor cap and crank it. it the rotor is spinning, then belt didnt brake. however it still could be out of time if the belt jumped a tooth two. if it jumped more than 3 teeth, then it will not start, because cams are out of time.

My 2007 nissan quest stopped running while driving down the road and refuses to start now. It popped a bad cam sensor code so I changed both of them and the crank sensor. When I try to start it it cranks...

In the Nissan Quest, 1993-02, the cam sensor is in the distributor and replacing the distributor fixes it. Usually the engine runs when cold, then fails when it is hot. Not usre where it is on the 2007 Quest.

Rich Porter sells reman distributors on ebay for $200.

We talk about it on our website for Villager Quest owners.

Where is the camshaft positioning sensor located in the 2004 nissan quest

Your 2004 Nissan Quest is most likely to be equipped with a 3.5L V-6 engine. This engine has 2 Cam (PHASE) sensors. One is located in the back of each cylinder head. You must remove your intake air duct to see them.

Where is the camshaft sensor on 97 nissan sentra

I am not sure where in a Sentra, but in a Quest 1993-02, it is in the distributor (integral). Common problem with Quest is that brown dust covers optical sensor under slotted wheel under rotor. If dust, the bearing is failing and you need new distributor. Clean optical sensor and see if it starts and runs. Get dist. on ebay.

report back on progress.
