Now first let's understand the code.

P0014 - "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)

In my many years of working on engines I have only seen a cam sensors go bad on Nissan. Never seen them go bad on toyotas or Hondas.

So what else could cause this problem?
Let's look a bit deeper.

Cars have changed from the 1990s with distributors and now have variable timing. So it is very possible that your timing skipped a tooth (very unlikely unless human input was involved) or your VVTI system is malfunctioning.

My advise.

1. Find a mechanic who understands how modern day cars function, Not a Kid with a scanning machine.

2. Ensure he know how to use diagnostic equipment and also knows how to do the oily work.

Since you are in abuja find kingreign.

Thank you gazuz. I have always suspected the timing chain because i had an issue once and the guy worked on the engine and claimed he had to work on the timing chain. Since then the check light have been on..but each other mechanic says its not timing chain but the sensor and i have changed the sensor more than 3 times..kingreign says he doesnt work on toyota the last time we spoke.my engine has basically suffered from bad mechanics..from one that changed my top gasket claiming over heat when it was not even over heating to different people diagnosing different things just because they have an obd scanner. I tire jare

The only time I reject any car is when that car has been really abused. I do not accept a work that has seen several hands. Reason is the integrity of the components allied the working of that faulty part may be compromised.

I have had an experience mid last year when someone with a '99 avensis came to me literally begging to fix a faulty power steering system in his car, he told me over 6 mechanics have tampered with the steering. I was busy, but rescheduled a further date for him.
Next day he came again and repeatedly disturbed me, till I got a quote for parts (minus labour and logistics).
I told him we need to replace faulty rack and pump. I told him we'll replace rack first, then if steering pump response is okay, we'll use his steering, but he should bear in mind that the steering pump will be replaced. He agreed.
Gave me cash for parts only, which I ordered steering rack, it came, I didn't like the one which was brought cos its not exact fitment. This same man came the next day and started quarreling me to hasten his work. I went to the market myself and I wasn't feeling too strong health wise, I was drenched in heavy rains.
I bought the rack, dismounted the front suspension beam and installed the rack while I was terribly ill and drenched.
I poured in P/S fluid into the steering pump to quiet the squeak and it worked fine, but I told the car owner to bear in mind that we haven't finished his job. But he collected the car and rushed out without allowing me to bleed the steering system of air trapped inside..

The later came back that evening yelling that he isn't satisfied with my job and I ate his cash. I must produce the remaining money for P/S pump (7k).
I had no choice but to go to where I safely kept the cash and give him. Till this day, he didn't pay me for any labour.

This is just one scenario where my sympathy landed me into a silly situation.


Its 2017, I still repeat, I won't collect any job that has been given to multiple mechanics to do trial and error, neither will I collect a job when I'm super busy or when the customer is in a rush.

our people have an habit of taking their car to be messed up by mechanics they start asking for help later conveniently omitting prior damage done to their car. Mechanics have no business messing with timing chain if the car is less than 150k miles

That is why you are there. If he cannot run to you when all efforts to revive the car has failed, then you are not a solution provider
