My cam sensor has oil inside the connector >_>

Every once in a while the car would stutter almost like it was running out of gas even though it had gas. I figured it had to be the MAF the crank sensor or the cam sensor. I remembered the car used to feel the same way when I first put my underdrive pulley on because it had the wrong timing teeth. Since then I've got the correct timing teeth ring... So I cleaned the crank sensor and when I pulled off the cam connector it had oil in it so i'll be in the market for a cam sensor pretty soon.

I think the Crank Postion sensor is more affected by oil, because Oil drips all over it when doing an oil change any time, Kinda of a sumb place for Nissan to put the sensor but you know ur Crank sensor is messed when you can't start your car.

Not sure how ur cam sensor is getting messed up though. What codes are you pulling?
