if so was it easy to do or should i take it to a mechanic

if i can do it myself than any steps or pics would be helpful

thanks

Yep, pretty easy, but quite fiddly.

You'll need a 10mm small socket wrench with a small extension piece and will have to remove the resonator in your intake.

Have a look at the rear of your heads and you should (maybe) be able to see a couple of green connectors.

Feel next to these and you will locate the 10mm bolt.

Undo bolt and do not drop it

Sensor will just pull out

To disconnect the sensor from the plug, push the end of the plug toward the sensor and then squeeze the tab and pull the plug off the sensor, you'll know what I mean when you see it

(man, this'd be so much easier if I had an engine on a stand to take pics with)

We have the same cam and crank angle sensors as VQ35de. Don't let anyone try to tell you differently.

Hope that helps (and made sense?!)...

The resonator is the black tube that comes off the rear of the rubber bend on your intake (between the engine and battery compartment).

My memory of the intake is pretty haze, so you may need to remove that rubber bend (easy to do) as well to get a "good" view of where the sensor is.

dont forget there is a crank angle sensor at the bottom of the engine where it bolts to the transmission.............

that may be causing you grief

yeah i got a 0340 error out of the ecu so ive just got the one driver's side cam angle sensor and i'll go from there
