I just replace both camshaft sensors and the bank 1 valve timing control solenoid in my 04 maxima. then flushed the motor and changed the oil. I cleared the codes and took it out for a test drive and both P0011 and P0340 codes came back and now it won't allow me to take the rpm's past 2,200. I put it back on the scanner and the cam phases between banks seem to have a significant gap between them. bank 1 at idle was reading -38 and bank 2 was reading - 9.

I'm at a loss on what could be still going on!!! is there anyone that has had this problem? if so could you please help in giving me some advice on what it could be .

Are you following the procedures from the FSM for those codes? Often they are in the EC chapter.

Both codes are related to timing problems on the camshaft
Overadvanced timing on the intake cam (bank 1)
In the FSM, it states a weak battery or starter can cause a PO340 or PO345 code (page EC-270)

On page EC148 to EC149 in the FSM, for the PO011, there is a recommendation to clean debris
off of the camshaft position sensor
Additionally I would use some electronic cleaner to clean the crankshaft position sensor

I just replace the battery and alternator at the same time as the sensors and solenoid. Also I cleaned all connectors as well but tomorrow I'm going to take the crankshaft sensor out and clean it up.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll let you know how it goes!
