It's me again with my 2003 Nissan X-Trail. Yesterday, I picked it up with the check engine light on, so I took it to be scanned and have it turned off. It turned out the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) was faulty. They reset the code, and I swapped the sensor that was on the back of the car to the side. It started, and I drove about 40 km without any problems. I turned off the engine for about two hours, and when I started it again, the car wouldn't accelerate properly even with the accelerator fully pressed; it wouldn't go past 2500 RPM. It was sluggish and extremely slow, only reaching a maximum speed of about 10 or 20 km/h. The check engine light came back on. I reset the sensors to their original settings, and without having done anything, the check engine light was gone when I started it again, and the car ran normally again. I drove another 60 km, and nothing happened. This morning it started fine, I drove about 20 km and parked it at home for about 20 minutes. I started it again, drove about 4 km, and it suddenly shut off. I parked the car and started it again without any problems, and no warning lights came on on the dashboard. Could this be a problem with one of the engine sensors, or perhaps an electrical issue? If so, how do I get it checked? Just in case, I bought the sensors, and the dealership told me they're all the same and that there's no difference which one is on top or bottom. But I checked, and the codes are A29-660 AJ5, which has a white mark on its casing, and A29-660 AJ4, which doesn't have any mark. The mark must be there for a reason, and it must be the one that needs to be installed in the specific location. My question is, where do I install the one with the white mark and the higher number?
Thank you very much, friends.
