2000 Acura 3.2 TL Camshaft Position Sensor and Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement D.I.Y.

In this video, I will show you step-by-step, how to change the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor on a 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. Please subscribe and help me reach my goal. Watch the video for all tools and materials used to perform this maintenance service. This car was experiencing rough idling and other symptoms of poor ignition timing.

Why is this needed?
Code P0300 Random misfire
Code P1399 Random multiple cylinder misfire
Code P0302 Cylinder #2 misfire
Code P0303 Cylinder #3 misfire

The “check engine” light came on and these four codes were generated in just one start in my driveway. No codes ever appeared about the cam sensor or the crank sensor, but the symptoms persisted for a long time and it was getting worse. The car already has new spark plugs and new coil over plugs in all 6 cylinders.

Parts:
AutoZone Duralast SU4171 with a lifetime warranty
AutoZone Duralast SU4772 with a lifetime warranty
Cost for both = $114.82
