Change Your Camshaft Position Sensor Today!!!!

Yesterday i purchased a second 92 se with well over 200k on the clock.
This car was only 500 bucks and came with the worst bucking, stalling and engine stumbling I have ever seen. NO wonder it was only 500 bux!

I ran a diagnostic scan and found no error codes. I then took it to the local nissan dealer and ran a diagnostic code and came up with a code F.( i have never heard of code F in my life and i was very skeptical) I was informed I had a failing camshaft position sensor and they could replace it to the tune of 500$ for part plus labor.

I politely declined and began hunting down a working cam sensor. I wanted to use oe nissan parts but I quite simply didnt think the car was worth it. I called autozone and they had a sensor made by wells for 199$. Well what the heck i said. I installed a new cam sensor, marked the old timing lines, replaced my plugs with some NGKs, cleaned my coil packs and reset my ECU.

Needless to say shes a sexy ***** now! i have never seen such an improvement to a vehicle in my life. The real question is will the sensor stand the test of time?? who knows but for now IM HAPPY!

I had to show the guy who sold me the car for 500$. He was ****ed!!

Hope this helps someone
