This is a very common issue on these Nissan 2.5. Although it can be mechanical engine timing, cam phasers etc. The majority of the time it is a simple solenoid. It would be my suggestion to swap out all three (intake, lock and exhaust) solenoids but the choice is yours. -Enjoy!

why not just take the wheel off and go up from behind the plastic mud cover?
Heckofalot simpler…
Can’t you go from the wheel well? Just asking
Jesus what a mission!
Muy vien que vuen video saludos 😮
is the one towards the front bank 1?
Well done buddy
Will these solenoids work for a 3.5 Altima?
Why didn't you just take the tire off and the mud guard behind the tire? All 3 of those solenoids are right by the oil filter???
Hi, I’m getting a P052B code on my Nissan Rogue 2016 SV.
Cold Start A Camshaft Position Timing Over-Retarded Bank 1
Is this the same? I’ve already replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor. Wondering if I need to replace the Timing solenoids, although I’m not getting the trouble codes you list here for this problem. Thx. I’m a DIYer and am not afraid to tackle the job. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for this. I was able to fix my sister-in-law's Nissan and get her out of my life!🎉
Hey what about a 2015 Nissan Altima P0075 code? Are they related to the VVT Solenoid?
You can do this from underneath . Jack it up, Remove passenger wheel , use ratchet and long extension and you will be able to reach all 3 bolts for the 3 sensors
Can’t wait to get started
Hey I predict, four years from now you'll do the same repair on a similar car. Ooooooo WeeeeeOoooooo spooky
What year Altima is this?
Super help full thank you
You did not put oil on the O-rings for the last two solenoids
Change the oil and change the exhaust solenoid that’s the fix it works
good videos.. I got the top one off my 2011 altima today without removing anything, cleaned it… smoother now
👊ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»
Will this cause specific cylinder misfires? Thank you ✌ðŸ»
this hapend during the winter it was cold i live in the mountain so the car is parked on a incline wondering if that created the problem
Did these cause the p0300
Followed this video to a T and everything went smooth. Definitely recommend a short ratchet wrench for the 10mm bolts on the solenoid. Make sure motor mounts are aligned because aluminum isn't forgiving. Also here's prayers these dorman solenoids I put on work for the rest of my ownership!
Could the P052B code be related to this?
Thanks for the video my man! Appreciate it. Mine is insane, literally decides day-to-day how it will run….
THIS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF LACK OF OIL CHANGES(CHANGE THE OIL & FILTER)PLEASE
¡Gracias! Me sirvió el video
2 quick questions. 1, would this cause an engine knock? 2. Even if it reads engine exhaust call Tim and control Bank 1 in combination with camshaft position timing over advanced throw the code for intake or another one? I only have p0014 and already changed the exhaust solenoid still getting the code
Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers
What is the torque info on the bolts?
I have a weird issue. Car was running fine, needed a new valve cover gasket. So we replaced it & now the engine is misfiring. I'm wondering if some vacuum line has detached from the bottom. Possibilities of the issue would be great! Anybody?
Does the 2012 2.5 Altima have these same 3 solenoids, I’ve been chasing a p0302 misfire for several months, replaced injectors, valve cover gasket,fuel pump,gas cap,maf sensor,new plugs and coils also, and changed the plug connector for number 2 coil,pcv and hose, new throttle air intake boot,still misfiring cylinder 2??
Eric I enjoy your instruction process,certainly entertaining.ck,wisc.
What year was this Nissan? Also, my 2015 is reading P052B, should I start with the sensors? Thank you
I think it would be much easier to remove it by removing the right wheel.
Good video it really made the process of changing the parts very clear.
Outstanding DIY video, thanks for taking the time and sharing it I was able to follow you step by step and it was dead on the money car runs like a champ.
Can you have this issue without the check engine light coming on?
Why does my car experience surges when idling? I recently had my ignition coils, spark plugs, and air filter replaced, and I've noticed a slight surging sensation, even though the RPM doesn't fluctuate.
