o2 sensor question

A couple weeks ago I got a code p1320. I changed the camshaft pos sensor, that didnt work so I bought 6 new coil packs but I still had a engine light on(wtf).

The obd2 scanner said I now have a 1320, but also have a p0154(bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor) AND a p0134(bank sensor 1).

Is it common for all this crap to break all at once or could there be another , perhaps underlying problem?

Failure of one component can often create multiple codes, because that component affects others in the system. It's really aggravating when you replace things based on codes. It would be nice to be able to do it that way, but it isn't always that straight forward. Testing components individually is the only way to circumvent unnecessary component replacement. Sometimes, it's just easier to throw parts at it.

mine is over 200k...the reason my SES was on was because of the O2 sensor...thats why it was on from the beginning...i got rid of the other coilpack code, only lingering one that i'm not concerned about is the O2 sensor

HUGE piece of advice. Start spraying the PB Blaster now. SESO. Spray early, spray often. I start spraying a few days in advance if I know I'm going to be messing around with exhaust or undercarriage.

Have the MD/FL boys change them when they do the header install.

I made an appointment @ nissan on friday for them to diagnose the problem. They hooked me up with a great price and said they can pin point exactly what the problem is. We shall see.

Mine has had 2 O2 sensors go since i got it. Turns out it was really the computer giving off a bad connection. I took it right to Nissan and it actually was a lot cheaper then replacing everything until i found out what it was!
