timing issues....help me im desperate lol

ok so ive had these codes for awhile, cannot fig out the prob., brought it to dealer they said try replacing camshaft pos sensors..and timing acuators. Did all that, replaced all 4 things and NOTHING. so pissed...like 600 on parts. My check engine codes are P1110, P1135, P1283, P0011, P0021. I have these codes on a new engine I got put in (other one heads went) the engine has approx 50-60K on it and runs fine otherwise..just doesnt have full power...and is kinda surging/lurching sometimes. i am soooo frustrated at this point...lol any ideas?

http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/maxim...ship-says.html http://www.nissanhelp.com/diy/obd_codes/P0011.html try these two links. I think you will find your solution there. I would start with the first link and figure that one out first. the codes are not all related. Hope this helps

I looked @ the links, I did all the things the link suggested with cam sensorsd and valve solenoids and nothing, I've changed the oil a couple times since. I have NOT checked the TPS, or pcv valve. Ill have to look up on how to check those. I've done the throttle pos. Learning and all that before. Didn't help, how would I check for intake leaks?

can of carb cleaner, turn on engine and spray a mist over the intake and away from electronics. the intake will suck it in at the leak.

The plastic timing chain ramps that run the chain, mine where chewed through and started at around 55k, I got the car at 67k not knowing why the car was making a grinding sound on start up. I didnt expect to replace those so early in the cars life. But the longer I own the car, I longer I think its crap.

That's why you have to do your research before buying a vehicle....but, it happens to all of us at some point in our lives.

well no air intake leaks...took the manifold out and checked / replaced off all the spark plugs..they all looked decent anyway and no oil or anything inside..soo now im onto other leads but where to start!!!! do u think this could be an ECU issue?? i dont know if there is any chance this engine could have been from an auto car? and if that would even make a difference...i may try an ECU reflash...does that make sense?

Well I got the P0011 and P0021 codes and its the IVT solenoid. I fixed one and am waiting on the other right now. I pulled them out and cleaned them out and treated them with a little ATF. Ran great but just threw the bank 2 code agoin so I gotta areplace it. When it was running right it felt great. Now its almost like a shudder as I accelerate like its slighlty off on timing. Stealership charges $190 for each solenoid out here.
