Hello first I would like to introduce myself. My name is Vince and I have a 2010 Nissan maxima s

Anyways I have a code that keeps coming up. p1084. I already replaced the camshaft sensor. The car idles weird, and the engine code reader shows the code but auto stores don't know what it means. I would go to the dealer but the car has a previous salvage title. Please help me out here.

P1084 Left hand side engine bank 2 exhaust timing sensor circuit code.

Could be a dirty sensor tip. It's most likely oil. You can clean that with brake cleaner an then dry the plug using compressed air.
If that doesn't cut it it may be a bad sensor and you have to replace it - assuming of course the wiring is ok.
The exhaust timing also relies on the crankshaft position signal, so if the crankshaft sensor is bad you'd have to pull that out of the bell housing and replace it.

 

Can you provide any images or area where it's located even with google images. And what are you talking about oil?

Thanks

 

I don't have any good pictures. Best I could find is from an infinity forum:

Your error points towards Bank 2!

What I mean by "it's most likely oil" is that sometimes oil gets on the sensor tips and you need to clean it off. If you already replaced the bank 2 sensor and it passes the test procedure (i.e. some sort of resistance across all the terminals), you may have an odd signal from the crank sensor. This is very unlikely, but it could be the issue. In that case you have to replace the crank shaft sensor, which basically looks like the cam sensors, but is mounted in the crank case.
Lastly, it can be a bad seal that allows oil to easily leak onto the sensor. In that case, a new sensor will immediately be soiled and behave as if it is broken.
