Hey all,
As I was pulling onto the highway, I noticed I was down on power. I pull over at the next exit and pop the hood. I noticed my passenger side converter is glowing red. At this point I think my catalytic converter is clogged, so I shut the engine off, and consult the Torque app. I had a pending code (P0011). After researching, I see it is the cam sensor. After a restart, the Pathfinder drove like nothing was wrong. When I got home the converter was no longer glowing.

Is there anything else I should look at? I will probably replace the sensor tomorrow if someone has it in stock. Just want to get everyone's general consensus to make sure im not missing anything.


Thank in advance!

Had a P1163 pop up this weekend, which is the drivers side front O2 sensor. My guess is the heat from whatever issue it had before "baked" the carbon off the passenger side O2, causing a variation in readings between the 2. I ordered new front O2 sensors anyways since I have 153k miles with no idea if they have ever been changed.

Also, the drivers side cam sensor is new, and the passenger one is OEM. I ordered a new sensor and the bolt from Nissan since I had to use my Irwin extractor on it.
