Micra Petrol 2004. P0340 error

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have the engine light on in the 2004 Micra 1.4 Petrol 

and it has the error code P0340 only.

I took out the Camshaft sensor and it has a tiny hole in 

the end that goes into the engine, not sure if it suppose 

to have this?

Also I noticed that once I clear the error and restart 

the car there is no error until I gas the car, then it 

comes back.

Should I replace the camshaft sensor?

Also if the car stalls, then it will not restart (the 

engine turns) unless I wait for 10 seconds, then it will 

start. is this due to the sensor?

It has erratic throttle from cold start, but if I gas it, 

it becomes normal.

	from what you discribe its a faulty sensor and yes thay are a common fault, dont buy a cheap sensor get a proper nissan part or a NTK one an incorrect signal to the esu will make the car under fuel/over fuel no signal at all the car will crank over but not fire if the cold start fault doesnt clear up after the cam sensor is changed i would look at the coolent temp sensor (CTS)
