Trader........
So this morning the SSEi was blocked in by the wifey'* Maxima. So I decided to take her car. MISTAKE!!!dh2
After taking my son to school.....couple of appointments and so on BAM!!!! In the middle of a busy 4 lane street the car dies!! Was able to coast to the side of the road. Got it started and had the car scanned and it is the camshaft sensors that are bad.
I had to laugh after a few vulgar words were said. This thing did not warn me,.....SES light came on 5 minutes before and really...........STOP!
Now my local Nissan/Infiniti Dealership is saying about $500 bucks for a hour job! FML!

Out racing Civics again, Eh? Sorry to hear man. Speaking of Civics, when we traded my wife'* in for the Prius it had done the same thing but still drivable. Estimate for the two sensors came in around yours. One of many reasons we flipped it as a tradein. Got top BlueBook after putting 170K on it in 8 years.

Had AAA tow it to my Uncle'* house. He usually fixs all foregin.....sometimes he takes on a domestic. He knew exactly where it is. Right side, Timing chain cover needs to come off and some doohickey and whatchamacallit has to come off to. Told me to pick it up in the AM
Why I didnt have it towed to him first......dont know. But the dealer did not charge me to tell me the issue. There pretty good guys there.
