P0340 Fault on 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5L SE: Causes and Solutions After Replacing Non-OEM Sensors

Model: 2004 Nissan Maxima Fault Code: P0340 Posted: 2016-07-21 12:32

Hello, I experienced a sudden loss of power in my 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5L SE with a manual transmission (6-speed) back in March. I replaced both the camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft position sensor. However, by July, the vehicle is now having difficulty starting — it starts only after sitting for several days, then cuts off immediately upon driving. I'm concerned whether this issue stems from using non-OEM parts (specifically Advance Auto Parts) instead of original Nissan components. Could a camshaft position sensor fail again after just six months? What are the common causes behind persistent P0340 trouble codes in this model?
