I have a 1995 cheverolet 3500 5.7 litre. I removed the distributor cap wires and got them mixed up. Do you have a manual or something that I can use to as a basis to put the wires back correctly? Thanks, Tom

I received a P0340 on my 1995 Nissan Altima. It says I need to replace the Camshaft sensor. The dealers say that my car does not have one in it and that it may be in the distributor itself. Is this true....

They may be right. I cannot find the part. here is what the manual says:


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The camshaft position sensor is located inside the distributor. On some distributors, the camshaft position sensor is not serviceable (replacement parts may not be available separately). If the camshaft position sensor is serviceable, use the following procedure.

  1. Remove the distributor cap and wires.
  2. Remove the rotor.
  3. Remove the camshaft position sensor cap.
  4. Remove the camshaft position sensor mounting screws.
  5. Carefully remove the camshaft position sensor.

To install:
  1. Position the camshaft position sensor in the distributor and tighten the mounting screws securely.
  2. Install the camshaft position sensor cap.
  3. Install the rotor.
  4. Install the distributor cap and wires.

How do i remove a distributor in a 1996 gmc sonoma

Question 4.3 Litre V6 or 2.2 Litre inline 4 cyl.

Procedure as follows: in either case remove # 1 cyl spark plug and rotate engine until # 1 piston is at top dead center , with a suitable marking pen make a reference mark on crankshaft harmonic balancer and timing mark indicator on engine timing cover. Make a notation on the distributor cap of the number one spark plug wire and also note the remaining wires firing order sequence on cap in order of rotation. Remove cap and note and mark rotor location , make a reference point on distributor body as well as engine block . Remove cap and wires , loosen distributor lock down bolt , disconnect distributor wire harness and label harness for reference to reconnect upon re-installation. Twist as you pull up on distributor , distributor should come out freely with minimal effort but occasionally they can be a little tough and need to be helped out with minimal extra persuasion...

If you find that upon re-install you get a trouble code P1345 don't threat just start over the process of placing # 1 cyl at TDC and then reference the marks you made during dismantle, There is a + - 3 degrees tolerance that the computer can adapt... But you will have to erase any trouble codes... You should not have to remove the hood, maybe just the air box and or filter housing for easier access.... Unless you are removing entire engine then yes remove hood by all means, mark hood hinges and mounting holes before removing for easier alignment during install of hood... Hope this helps...
