I had a computer analysis done on my 03 Altima 3.5 and it showed a camshaft position sensor (bank 2) being the reason why it takes so long for my car to start. Does anyone know if this is common, where the cps is located, and which c.p.s.(bank 1/bank 2) is where?
I had thought that maybe it had something to do with the fuel line, fuel pressure, or maybe the fuel pump going bad that was causing the problem, but this is what showed up when analyzed

Nissan Service Manuals Here you go. Download a service manual and look in the engine section. It'll let you know all you need to. Just to make it easier, though: in the 06 manual it's shown on page EM-132. The front of the engine is toward the right front fender. The left bank of the engine is therefore toward the radiator and is also known as "bank 2" This means the bank of the engine next to the windshield is the right bank of the engine, also known as "bank 1". Hope this helps.

Where is camshaft position sensor a bank 1 located?

A camshaft position sensor (CMP) is essentially a component in the format of a cylinder, which is often located on the outside of the front cover (at the front of the engine under the valve cover).

What side is camshaft bank 1?

Bank 1 is the side of your engine that has the cylinder 1, while sensor B refers to the exhaust camshaft side. Some car manufacturers have their own description of the P0017 code, such as GM (more specifically, Chevrolet).

Are there 2 camshaft position sensors?

While the number can vary based on the age of your car, a new car should have four camshaft sensors, one for each camshaft. A camshaft sensor determines the exact position of your engine's camshaft, helping your car keep your engine's combustion running smoothly.
