Hello, I sent you an email but it may have gone to your spam folder. Here’s what I sent:
I’m a 71 year old retired hvac tech. Anyway, my niece is getting married and we’ve been helping them out. They needed another vehicle so we found this 06 Murano that looks pretty nice. It ran ok when I drove it, but now it’s running a little rough and not as responsive as it should be.
First we got a camshaft sensor code. For good measure we replaced both of them.
Now we’re getting the PA203 code, sensor 1 bank 2.
I saw 1 of your videos where you said even if you replace the sensor it could still give out the code if there’s a problem, I think it said with the MAF? Don’t remember. I’m getting old.
Anyway, I’m thinking the reason they got rid of this vehicle is like you said. One sensor problem after another. Plus I’ve read the nightmare scenarios about the throttle relearning business. OUCH!!!
Do you think it’s possible because of throttle body buildup that these sensors could all be reading haywire? Excuse the elderly terminology.
I’ve found a new throttle body for less than $200.
But I’d hate to keep replacing sensors and NOT solve the problem. Or the throttle body for that matter.
By the way, one of the new camshaft sensors is giving a code again along with that PA203 code!
Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated by an old hvac tech. š
Replacing the CAM sensor shouldn’t affect the 02 sensors unless there is a wiring issue. It needs to be diagnosed, I would test the sensors and wiring to verify they are working.
I have an 08 chevy malibu 2.4L. It’s throwing six different codes at the moment, I was wondering if you could please make a video on what to check out for each code. I would highly appreciate it. Love your videos.
Codes are:
P0449 (you already have a video for)
P0016
P0017
P0036
P0054 (already have a video for)
P0141
Hey Bob,
Iām hoping you could shine some light on the codes I have a on my Nissan x-trail t31 2.5l manual.
The codes are –
PS1464
C1143
C1210
C1204
C1209
Any ideas on fixing issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hey bud want to say thanks for the awesome info on toyota C0205 code I will be watching more videos on what you do thanks again
Hey Bob, my name is CJ and i am located in Georgia. The check engine light on my dads car has been on for quite a while, but after stepping into the mechanical field as an 18 year old I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I have a scan tool, and it is popping up the code P0744 TORQUE CONVERTER. What steps would you recommend me take to further diagnose this issue. I have read that it could be just the fluid, the solenoid , the converter itself, and a few others but I am really just looking to get this problem situated
