Here are some more information for Camshaft Position Sensor:

Mercedes-Benz has built its name in providing only the best of comfort, luxury, safety and of course, style to its enthusiasts all over the world. Nothing can surpass these features that only Mercedes-Benz can offer. If there's a car built for the gods, it surely should be a Mercedes Benz.

If you are a Benz owner, you might as well sit back and feel every bit of it. One thing that can prevent you from doing so is a leaky engine. One source of an engine leak may be a problem in the valve cover gasket.

Your Mercedes valve cover gasket works as a seal between the cover and the engine to prevent oil from flowing out. At the same time, it keeps dust and debris out of the engine.

Different engines may have up to four valve cover gaskets. A valve cover gasket can be made of rubber, cork or silicone. Although rubber and cork are much cheaper, silicone is proven to be the most durable when it come to sealing purposes. The gasket usually sits beneath the valve cover, which is the metal lid that sits on top of the cylinder head on most cars.

Your Mercedes valve cover gasket may become saturated throughout time and therefore may cause a leak. Saturation may be caused by build-ups that really depend on how often you have your oil changed. The most common kinds of build-up you'll see are carbon, dirt, debris and old-gasket residue. Symptoms of a leaking valve cover gasket would be an oil leak down the cylinder head of the engine. You can check for the presence of oil on top of the cylinder head and near the spark-plug connections. The rubber gasket sits beneath the valve cover -- the metal lid that sits on top of the cylinder head on most cars.

You should replace your Mercedes valve cover gasket if it's already leaking. It's a relatively simple job but it really needs a great deal of attention too. Before plunging in, prepare a few tools, new gaskets, and a gasket adhesive.

Before anything else, it is important to let your engine cool off first before starting the task. First, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Second, remove the PCV valve and the breather hoses with a firm grip. While doing this, you may also want to disconnect any electrical connectors near the rear of the crankcase. Third, remove the bolts securing the valve cover. Fourth, disconnect any tubing that may still be connected and carefully remove the cover. Clean the cover completely no matter how saturated it is, do this with utmost caution. Fifth, install the gasket into the cover. Sixth, apply a sealant to the corners where the camshaft bearing caps and crankshaft angle sensor cap meet the cylinder head. Seventh, tighten the bolts, you may need further instructions in doing this step. Eight, reconnect all electrical wiring and battery. And finally, check if there are still leaks by running your engine and if there's none, then you're ready to go.

Nissan OBD check engine light fault codes

Have you ever had the red ‘check engine’ light illuminate on your dash?  You wouldn’t be the first one.  This is a little worrying when you’re on the freeway and have no place to stop.  Then there is the stress of imagining what the mechanics bills would be like.

Here is a simple guide to finding out what’s caused the ‘check engine’ light to come on, so you know what’s going on before you see your mechanic.  You may be able to identify and fix the problem yourself.

This is the procedure for checking the ‘check engine’ light fault codes for Nissans 1990-2000 that have the Nissan OBD (consult) system installed.  For a complete list of compatible cables go to http://www.blazt.biz/information/cars.php.

Step 1:

Locate the ECU. In most models it’s underneath the kickboard in front of the front passenger seat.  There is a knob or switch on the side marked diagnostics that has an LED next to it.

Turn this knob clockwise (or to the ‘on’ position).

Step 2:

Note the amount of flashes shown by the LED.  This is the ‘check engine’ light fault code.  There may be several codes, but they are easily interpreted.  There will be a sequence of flashes, the long flashes (0.6sec each) represent the 10’s column, and the short flashes (0.3sec each) represent the 1’s.  For example if you got 2 long flashes followed by one short flash then you would have a code of 21 (ignition fault).  If you have more than one fault then the next fault code in sequence will show.

Step 3:

Turn the diagnostics knob anticlockwise or ‘off’ and note the fault code table below.

Where is the camshaft Position sensor on a 2.3L Mazda 6i?

Where is the camshaft Position sensor on a 2.3L Mazda 6i? Please be specific! I understand that it is located at the rear of the engine..but i still can't find it. A picture would be fine!

it is either on your distributor or next to your cam gear... behind the harmonic balancer. its easy to chang just have to take a couple things apart.. now mine was mounted wrong and wires were exposed so i just cut spliced then re routed the wires. also clean the balancer plate it measures on.. collects alot of black gunk on it... break cleaner works best. and clean magnant if equipped. it might just have a little hole it sits in which you dint have to do anything. it just measures timing of cam gear.
