    Got spark and getting fuel. Got code p0014.

  • Jeff Armer Aug 11, 2015

    The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a 12-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit to both the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor. The CKP sensor sends a signal to the PCM with each revolution of the crankshaft. The CMP sensor sends a signal to the PCM with each revolution of the camshaft. This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) monitors the CKP signal and the CMP signal to determine if they are synchronized. If both signals are not observed by the PCM within a narrow period of time, the PCM will determine that an error has occurred and DTC P0016 will set.
    Check for the following items:

    • A loose or missing distributor hold down bolt

    • A loose CMP sensor causing a variance in the sensor signal

    • An incorrectly installed distributor - 1 tooth off in either advance or retard positions

    • A loose distributor rotor on the distributor shaft

    • Excessive free play in the timing chain and gear assembly
    Hope this helps , how many miles on the vehicle ? I'd look for slop in the timing chain !

The following information courtesy of obd codes.com P0014 - "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1) OBD-II DTC Trouble Code Description "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1) What does that mean? A code P0014 refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module, also called an ECM). That consists of a few different components but the P0014 DTC specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is above a set limit (over-advanced), the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set. Bank 1 is the side of the engine containing cylinder #1. The "B" camshaft shall be either the "exhaust," "right," or "rear" camshaft. Left/Right and Front/Rear are determined as if viewed from the driver's seating position. Potential Symptoms Most likely a P0014 DTC will result in one of the following: hard starting, poor idle, and/or stalling. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates. Causes A P0014 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following: Incorrect camshaft timing Wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system Continuous oil flow to VCT piston chamber Failed timing valve control solenoid (stuck open) Possible Solutions This DTC code is a result of a mechanical fault of the VCT unit or related components, so there is no need for electrical diagnosis. Refer to vehicle specific repair manual to perform component tests for the VCT unit. Notes: Dealer techs have advanced tools and the ability to follow detailed troubleshooting steps, including the ability to test components using a scan tool. Other related DTCs: P0010 - P0011 - P0012 - P0020 - P0021 - P0022

    Thanks and I've also found this in my search. The way I understood it, and after googling it, pointed me in the direction of replacing the camshaft position sensor. Which I did. Besides that l, I'm not a mechanic, so after reading the article, now I'm not sure what direction to go.

  • john h Aug 11, 2015

    but have you tested and or checked the vct and this usually doesnt cause a no start ---you may have skipped a tooth or have a timing chain problem because if fuel and spark and you changed and rechecked sensors should fire --try spraying starter fluid if start and you have fuel pressure in fuel lines than recheck the sensors you changed and regulator --

SOURCE: crankshaft and camshaft sensors location in nissan altima 2003

You are incorrect sir. There is a very good Youtube video showing you exactly where it is that is how I changed mine. The Crankshaft is located behind the engine block below and around from the cam sensor which is easly spotted looking at the engine. The crankshaft is in a difficult spot but once you figure out where it is it's easy...ish hope this helps

I have a 2002 gmc sonoma 4.3 v6 45000 miles. Turns over but won't start. Changed camshaft position sensor and crankshaft sensor. Can't afford to take to a shop. Code p0014.

this code refers to cam shaft timing. if the connections are good with the sensor and readings are good when tested with a volt and ammeter then the cam timing maybe be off what it should be. it could also be the ECM causing a problem.

GMC safari won't start, new coil, ICM, plugs (delco) Wires, cap, rotor, get's gas, new starter.

This just happened to my Dad's 1998 GMC Safari...

Firstly...

Check the hard vacuum line as previously noted by others.
If that's ok, then take off the intake pipe and spray brake clean into the throttle body while trying to crank it.

If it starts.. then you have a fuel related issue, if it doesn't start then you have an electrical related issue.

Our van did not start after trying to use brake clean.

Take off the console inside the vehicle's cab and get at the distributor.

Usually people noted that the ICM (ignition control module, inside the distributor) was the main issue here, but on our van, the distributor and wires looked brand new so it was probably recently changed (we got this van 5 months ago), so I assumed the spark plugs were also changed at the same time.

We unplugged the connection from the coil to the distributor, tried to crank it, and no spark was being generated, boom, got a new coil and starts up fine.

Just takes a bit of trial and error.

PO102 and PO340 on 1997 GMC Jimmy

PO102 = mass airflow circuit low. Means there's a problem with the mass airflow sensor or circuit. Could be the sensor is disconnected, dirty, or faulty. PO340 = camshaft position sensor circuit. Could be ground wire disconnection, camshaft position sensor failed, PCM is failing, or even the crankshaft position sensor has failed. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Does a 2002 buick regal have a ignition position sensor

Hello trhino69.

The Regal has two position sensors.
One on the crankshaft and another on the camshaft.
If the crankshaft sensor isn't reading it will not start.
On the other hand if the camshaft sensor isn't reading it will start but the fuel injectors will revert to non-sequential firing.
The crankshaft sensor is mounted at the crankshaft harmonic balancer.
It is #4 in the diagram below.
