Pulling my hair out

Hello;


I have an 03 Maxima. Car runs fine then stalls occasionally. Hard to start occasionally then runs fine for a while. Trouble codes say bot cam sensors a & b. So I replaced both cam sensors and.......same issue!?


Please let me know what you think. Thanks

Did you replace them with oem sensors? Or aftermarket? Did you check that the wiring isnt damaged?

You should go with OEM - for all critical EC parts such as coils, cam sensors, MAF, etc.

Maybe, time will tell for sure. I have been using Autozone parts since the late 90's without failure. If you end up being right then I will have learned a lesson.
