01 extended crank but, hesitant start

01 extended crank but, hesitant start
looks like culprits are, cam sensor, both crank sensors, possible need of additional ground traps, fuel pump and regulator.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't hurt to replace all 3 sensors and add/check grounds? any quick access easily seen spot to put a fuel pressure gauge or do i need to sit down with the FSM for awhile?
BTW alternator,starter and battery are all freshly rebuilt and upgraded.

Most likely it will be the crank sensor from what I've read on here. Not experienced that myself but apparently Hitachi is the only brand to use for them. When you find where to get a good price on Hitachi or even where available please post the info.
I've looked before and had a hard time finding Hitachi. Rockauto used to ha e them but not any more as far as I know.

I just went through that problem and it was the front camshaft sensor connector. I replaced the connector and sensor. Start real fast now. I have not replaced the one crank sensor yet and probably won't unless it gives me some trouble

well that covers the cam sensors, still can't find the crank sensor OEM brands.
EDIT: i see mitsubishi and nissan logos!

anyone tried aftermarket or dorman? Also what does one do for worn out pigtails on the harness, how does one replace that? extract the pins and to uncrimp and recrimp on to new wires using the old plastic casing of the connector (that sounds janky as hell)? you can buy cam pigtails but, not crank.

i was lucky to get the lower crank sensor for 75 but, the front/fly wheel side was $117 plus shipping unless you go aftermarket. That was deal compared to $170. i know the dealer would charge the same. probably still need to get cam sensors. guess i've bought the cow now! guess i'm gonna have to finally start hitting up junkyards to get LSD auto and rocker panels and wheel arches.

at least you know not to stoop to aftermarket, i just dealt with this on EVAP sensors, i should have known since I personally dealt w that on the CPS sensors too, and awe man dont remind me ! i am having trouble figureing out what to do with the rear quarters, cars vaule is so... low (on paper, not to me), on paper it seems crazy to fix to rear quaters at this point ... sigh...
i am lookin into universal fender flares and fabbing up something that way, to keep the quarters at bay...

screw it, i guess i'll tear the thing down, do the body work and keep it stock looking and drop in double din touch screen, rear heated seats, all the goodies and a new interior and build my own "sleeper" car.
I'm just gonna need a boat load of money, time and another car to drive to work. i however have access to life, tools and experienced help.
....if the wheels don't fall off first. a number of parts i have been able to get on clearance like my all aluminum radiator. now all i need to do is figure out why the Brake and Battery lights are flicking on after driving for 10 minutes. wonder if the new alternator has regulator going out or the new belts breaking in.

last night it was a hard start and starting running ROUGH like it was missing, the CEL, SLIP and TCS lights and flashed on at the same exact time after a few moments. turned car off and on and few times and TCS OFF and SLIP when out. then on the highway this morning they came back on.
got codes: P0306 and P1320, i just brand new OEM sensors in and it has been driving fine aside from hard starts. i'm guessing MAYBE #6 cylinder coil pack/plug has been going causing part of the missing/timing during hard starts and maybe the new cam sensor went out? maybe i just need new plugs and packs and possibly a new fuel pump?

Wow this is a cheap price for the OEM part. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Ign...-/222546542111
some listings list front and rear as if different? i bought one form your listing, i suspect possibly counterfeit the packing in the picture and the nissan label looks "off".
EDIT: definitely counterfeit as far as i know/can tell maybe nissan makes them different but, look at the brand of them and smooth top. the ones on my 01 do not have smooth tops. ended up being worn out spark plug anyways with the a gap the size of the grand canyon, vultures, tumbleweeds and all.
