ck power at the red/yellow and red wires at each cam adjustment solenoid... ck your oil level.

have you had the sensor recall done?

 

Yes, i had the sensor recall done right away cuz my car actually stalled on the way to the appt.
I am not sure how to check power on the solenoids... is there a write up somewhere?
thanks for the prompt reply pal....

 

using a voltmeter. unplug the connector and ck power on the pin to a good gnd.

also check your oil level.

how long ago was the recall done?

this is much easier to fix with a scan tool, but those are about the only basic checks i can think of.

 

I dont know how to use a volt meter!!!!...
I just had my oil change a week ago...
I called the dealer and am bringing it in on thursday... he said he had to use his scanner to get better info as to the exact cause... gotta wait now! grrr

let us know what they find.

i take it this is not a warranty repair.

 

nope.. it isnt..
It's at 3 yrs and 8 months and just turned 36k this morning...

 

then if the oil is okay, good luck at the dealer.

 

Thanks....
The dealer said they dont honor third party warranties... I have one thru AAA, but he said we could work something out... He's done a lot of things out of warranty before for me! so Im keeping my fingers crossed.

 

check with your warranty company beforehand and see if its something you can be reimbursed for.

 

I intend on calling them first thing tomorrow cuz they claimed all dealers honored their warranty!

 

I took it in today... they pulled codes, needs the two Intake sensors replaced which is covered by the 5yr/60k warranty... they ordered it, and it will be in tomorrow... so i will get it back by noon time...

 

intake sensors?

or cam sensors?


you said you had the sensor recall done, right? wonder if you got a set of bad ones, or they put them in the wrong place (bk 1 and 2 mixed up).

how long ago did you do the recall?

 

I did the recall prolly 1.5 yrs ago...
Im not sure of the type of sensors... he said Intake Timing sensor...
I will let u know when i get the invoice...

 

Just got my car back..

It says Replaced both VTC Solenoid Valves, Gasket, two Valve Assy's
Cause: Improper valve timing.

 

okay, so the solenoids were either plugged or electrically open, or basically inop.

thx for the info.

 

Hello - I have an Infiniti 2002 I35 and the SES light came on for “P0021 Intake Valve Timing Control” I see you had that problem before. How did it get fixed? Is it expensive? What did it cost you? Is this a big deal?

 

Dam that's an old thread. Good job on the search option. -Sorry I can't offer any help. Just wanted to give my .02

 

Thanks!...ANYONE HELP!!!

 

My car just threw a P0021 Anyone have this fixed?

 

I also got this code this evening. I have searched through the forum for answers but haven't seen any threads.

I have no clue what it is and what to do.

 

Numaxima: I am calling Nissan about my car's extended warranty (just bought the car). If it indeed has one, I am taking it in with this thread printed out for them to use as a starting point.

If anyone has had a P0021 and knows what it took to fix, please let us know.

NuMaxima: does your car have a *SLIGHT* loss of power in 5/6th at ~3200rpm that goes away at 3600rpm?

 

I recently got these 2 codes as well (P0011 and P0021). Any more input on the cause? Solution?

Yup those two codes P0011 and P0021 poped up last week in my car as well! I think I might try that recall at the dealership!
