Unfortunately almost all the questions we get, are from
people getting a code, and not understanding that codes
do not tell you what is wrong or what to replace

Also, I doubt anyone would admit, they have no idea what
any sensors do or how they work

Never got a soul to tell me they test anything,because they
don't know what your talking about

That said you need a repair shop

Don't like saying that,but you simply can no longer
work on todays high tech vehicles, without years of
experience and a lot of knowledge

97 breeze won't start keep getting no signal from cam sensor and engine coolant temp sensor voltage out of range have changed cam sensor crank sensor ignition coil tests good

Check to see that the wiring going to the cam sensor is good. Have you pulled the codes? If not, you should get a code reader. If you pull a P0016 code, then it's mechanical failure. Your timing jumped.

Po340 po335

This pair of codes are related to the cam sensor.
Carefully check the cam sensors connectors and cables.

You have to rule out the timing belt first.
You will need help for a friend crank the engine while you view /feel the cam movement.
NO cam movement equal broken timing belt.

If the cams move then it is save to swap out the cam sensors,

I replaced the crank sencor and its still throwing a code

The car only blue books for about $3000. I hate to suggest it but financially it may be better to cut your losses on this one. A used engine with 7000 miles on it for this car could have been purchased for $1200.

The code that you are getting does not necessarily mean that the crank sensor is defective. Those codes are to be used as symptoms only. If the crank sensor is bad the car won't run at all.

If it's running rough you need to check the health of the ignition system, fuel system, and the timing.

Starting with the easiest to the more difficult.
1. Pull the spark plugs and read them. Are they fouled/damaged/wet/burnt?

2. Check the engine compression. Is the compression low?

3. Check the timing marks. Did the timing belt slip off a tooth with the cam gear? Is the timing belt worn out? Make sure these marks line up with what your manual shows.

4. Check your fuel pressure with a gauge. Does it match what the manual states it should be?

5. Is the coil pack weak, out of tolerance? Check it with a multimeter, make sure the ignition wires are in good shape. If you've never changed them, this would be a good time.

If you check these things you should find the problem...throwing parts at it till the problem goes away is the most expensive way to fix it.

No voltage on crank sensor grand am 2001 2.4

The crank and cam sensors produce ac voltage that is sent to the computer. There are magnets or components on the crank and cam that the sensors "read".
The problem could be the harness between the sensors and the computer, or a mechanical problem like a timing chain or gear.

Nissan 2006 sentra cam shaft sensor keeps going out. ive replaced 4 times and continues to have check engine light come on and it reads cam shaft sensor why and what

I would google the code and see what other owners did to correct the problem. It may be an electrical short or lose connection in harness.

Throwed a code po335 crank sensor , i changed the crank sensor cleared the codes and 30 miles later check engine light came back on

Are you sure it was the crank sensor that you replaced? The cam and crank sensors look identical. Was the engine hard or slow to start? If so, this will sometimes set this code.

Ck engine light on code po335 p1336 also location of sensor?

P0335 and P0336 Engine crank sensor malfunction
To test this code, have a visual inspection of the location and wirings of the crank sensor. If the engine has a cam sensor, you might mistook it as the crank sensor (it is a good idea to contact ATS that can research this for you). Check the sensor wires for insulation making sure it is getting a voltage signal as shown in the wiring diagram. Sometimes, the wires itself is soaked with dirty oil causing the sensor to fail. If OK, check the engine timing belt system for any slack which can also cause the sensor to throw in the code. If all of these prove OK, remove the crank sensor and check it for resistance as compared to the standard specs. Lots of times, if the sensor probe end is contaminated with oil or cracked, this can only be revealed after the crank sensor is removed
