place to get crankshaft position sensor? best brand?
i see that from the dealer they are 109.00, i've been trying to fix a misfire, low idle issue after exhausting every other issue. i want to replace this and prey that it's the problem. i looked everywhere and i'm not sure what brand to go with, links, best brand for the money? thanks

I just got a misfire issue yesterday =\ Check engine light started flashing while driving, bogging at complete stops, lagging on accleration. UGH lol
Since I have fairly new spark plugs and coils, It leaves to me that the injectors are out as I have not touched them ever since I owned the car.
a bad Crankshaft position sensor more n likely would not cause a misfire.. I believe its job is to crank the car for you to start it up... that's all. I could be wrong but its called "Crank" for a reason.
Otherwise, like others mentioned.. hands down Hitachi would be your best bet.

being as that i've never replaced them and i have 291,000 on the max i'm being told that since all my other parts are new that this is a good place to start. injectors, plugs, and coils are all new in the past year and a half including maf, iacv, egr valve, and pcv. only thing i haven't replaced is the tps sensor which is next on the list. and there's 2 of them? which one typically goes bad? i heard the wires frey and cause issues like i'm having. i'm losing patience with this bs, really pissing me off.

You know that I've been running Intermotor for just about every (except MAF) sensor on these cars.. Never a problem to date. Though sometimes Intermotor cost more than OEM and I go with it to get a better warranty. I've found many Intermotor parts are just reboxed OEM. That explains the expense..

Rockauto, ABC Nissan, TRI-Cities, Courtesy Nissan Parts.....Also check your intake gaskets a leak will cause a misfire....Crankshaft sensor controls your ignition timing and ECU reference....It not just for starting to engine....Sounds like you have a continuous combustion engine (Turbine Engine) only use ignition to ignite the fuel and no need after that! LOL

Went with a diff brand. Having done the ctrl arms 3x now, its getting easier but not fun doing unnecessary work. Thinking of it, I'm doing too much work on it lately due to poor aftermarket parts quality. Sick of it. I'm changing brands now so hopefully it subsides.

The stuff works awesome. Bg44k is a nice friend.

Really the best deal, if you can figure it out, is to buy direct from the manufacturer who makes the oem part for Nissan. In my case with the TPS the photo of the item had a nissan logo molded into it so I took a chance on Beck Arnley being the oem manufacturer which it seems was a good bet. With ignitors it's Hitachi, etc. We should start a database of confirmed or suspected oem manufacturers.

Ah too late lol, I'm replacing all 6, but at the same time, I'm going to be doing a fuel treatment, new fuel filter, new air filter, rear valve cover gaskets all at the same time. Should be done this week or next week for sure. I'm sure the car will feel more smooth and responsive after that! Can't wait.
