When was the starter changed last?
Sensor Problem I need an adult
Hey guys so I was very excited recently because I have 399,985 miles and can’t wait to see it hit the 4 but it got halted truck won’t crank at all and now I got a camshaft position sensor code so I swapped distributor still nothing I swap timing belt still nothin I check all fuses nothing I check the camshaft sensor plug I got power and ground and reference all work I check small 2 wire plug that both run to ignition module and cam sensor both have power I checked the ecu relay still won’t work I looked through main harness can’t see any bad wires battery is good I’m running out of things to test I’m praying to the Nissan gods it’s not the ecm

The starter solenoid connects to the battery cable, plus a smaller light gauge wire. If you can hotwire a 12v jumper from the battery to that smaller wire, the starter will activate if it's any good.
Jump from the positive battery post. Or from the cable at the solenoid if you can reach it.

The purpose of jumping it is to test the starter without removing it.... first I just assumed the signal was blocked from the code I’ll try the jumper and if still nothing I’ll take to autozone for the warranty
If the starter jumps, it's good, and the problem is further back in the circuit.
Going forward, if you cross the two large terminals on the solenoid, you are actually bypassing the solenoid, and it will spin the starter without cranking the engine.Update stater spun motor did not so I assume the plunger is probably seized?
If you apply 12v to the small wire instead, it will spin the starter and also push the starter gear into the flywheel/flexplate to get it cranking.
Give it some throttle while cranking.
If still no luck, remove an easily accessible spark plug wire, then crank it with 1/2 throttle. Then pull that plug to check if it's wet with gasoline which it should be. If it's dry, no fuel is getting up there.
