Review on πŸ” Enhanced CPS0003 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor by Hitachi by Kyle Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

and the car has been running fine ever since

I installed this on my 2006 Altima a few months ago along with another from a different brand, one for the crankshaft sensor and one for the camshaft sensor. Both are interchangeable. The installation eliminated the symptoms and the machine has been running flawlessly ever since. The main symptom was that starting was often very difficult and sometimes the battery was almost dead when you cranked it up. The local mechanic charged me $100 for the installation. If you want to install them yourself be sure to check out some YouTube videos showing how to do it because it's trickier than it looks, especially the crankshaft sensor. This is a known issue with my Altima. There was a recall, but not to replace parts. Just to keep the machine running when it happened. The car drove well, but did not start without jerking. The recall was intended to force him to use a different sensor if one failed. But in any case, it is worth replacing both at once. The sensors basically provide timing signals to the controller and it can use both, but it works much better if it has both. The older sensors had a design flaw that was fixed in 2007. The sensors of this new design should last a lot longer than the old ones. Probably while the car is running.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
