Detailed Description

The Standard PC165T crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft position data used by the engine management system for ignition timing and fuel control. When the sensor signal is weak, intermittent, or missing, the engine may not run correctly. This replacement sensor is cataloged for 1995-2001 Nissan Maxima and 1996-2001 INFINITI I30 applications, making it a direct-reference choice for service on these vehicles. Use PC165T when replacing a failed crank sensor on a Nissan Maxima or INFINITI I30 with the listed engine-side mounting locations.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting or no-start conditions related to crankshaft signal loss
• Intermittent stalling caused by an unstable engine speed signal
• Rough running from incorrect ignition timing input
• Check engine light concerns tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Driveability issues on Nissan Maxima and INFINITI I30 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting location before installation: 1996-2001 INFINITI I30 uses the left side of the block, while 1995-2001 Nissan Maxima uses the side of the engine. Confirm connector style, routing, and sensor seating against the original part before final assembly. Standard PC165T should be matched to the vehicle year and engine configuration listed in the fitment data.
