Recently my SES light came on, when I hooked up my scan tool I saw the codes po011 (intake (a) camshaft position timing over advanced (bank 1)), po300( multiple cylinder misfire).
Now both bank 1 and bank 2 camshaft sensors were replaced about 1 year ago. Oh and I just check them both again just to see if any sludge or debris built up on them. The spark plugs were changed and correctly gapped 10 months ago and cylinder 3 ignition coil was also replaced. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be. I haven't been able to find any answers. :frown:

You could possibly have a sticking or nonfunctional vvt solenoid.

Check your oil po011 code is usually caused by no oil our low oil pressure and have seen it cause po300 multi cylinder misfire.also I am guessing since you did not state engine is that you have a v6 since you have b1 @b2 codes

They are located on the top front of the engine just ahead of the valve covers.
You are most likely going to have to get the part from Nissan.
