This is now getting intresting. Using the drawing provided, I search deeper and found two connectors just hanging but the ocv are not there. My mech suggested that probably the engine has been changed before but I doubt. No sign of any ocv point. It looks stupid but that is d reality.

What i did this morning is to remove the two from another Avalon and tested it on mine but no improvment. the DTS code only shows P1656 and P1663 after clearing the codes, then after running the engine for some times, it shows P0340, P1656 and P1663.

Still cant find the OCV. So sad

nissparts: I cant open your link but ive already shown your what the OCV looks like.
You'll see the dark part with the connector sticking out of the timing cover.
As I said, listening to an engine will not give you an indication of a timing belt issue and the fact that your mech doesnt even know where the OCV is says it all.

I have corrected the attachment. The engine has two of those. Still check for the OCV myself with another mechanic but we didnt find any.

@ Nisspart,
We checked the timing and it seems ok. I still checked for the ocv but didn't find it.

This is what we located. Am sure this is camshaft sensor. What do u think?[img][/img]

THanks Autoquint,

I recently did acomprehensive servicing . The hard starting happens at anytime of the day and sometimes it starts at one crank.

The runs smooth with ocasional lost of power when breaking and accelerating. It also misfire once a while.

How do I trace or troubleshoot the cam sensor wiring?.

Please someone help me out...

Spoke with another mechanic and after listening to the engine sound, he said the timing was ok.
Now back to the OCV, is it thesame as the cam shaft sensor? Where is the ocv filter located in my Avalon xls? All the mechanics cant locate it.

Pls help me as I have battled hard starting for some months.all d mech I met are just guessing in their approach.

I scanned the car and it came up with the following code;

P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Malfunction
P1656 - Oil control valve circuit malfunction
P1663 - Oil control valve/variable valve timing RH bank malfunctionlfunction
P0141 - O2 sensor heater fault (bank 1 sensor 2)

Ireplaced the camshaft sensor but still no improvements

Or

Another Shonekan
