Hi,
few days ago car starting to stall when engine warm up
Check engine code P1336 come up (Crankshaft Position Sensor )

I call diller, they sell only disributor kit (~700$)
In few places on net I found Crankshaft Position Sensor sold
separatly.

Do I really need to get disributor or Crankshaft Position Sensor
would be enough?

Thanks
Alex

On the altimas and sentras, there's a camshaft position sensor and a
crankshaft position sensor. They are often mistaken one for the other.
Your engine is probably similar if not the same. The Crank sensor is
relatively cheap, approx $50. The cam position sensor, at least on the
Alty and Sentra, is part of the distirbutor and would be sold as one
unit, the distributor. It's expensive. $

Perhaps this is the confusion going on here.

Hope this helps

A CKPS should be cheap enough (less than $50) to try and fix this problem.
The problem here I think is that the dealer may have heard CAMshaft
Position Sensor (CMPS), which in some Nissan car, e.g., Sentra and
Altima's are BUILT-IN into the distributor. Since your code is P1336,
don't get that 700 dollar item. It is not going to fix your problem. When
I had a code P0340 (CMPS), my local dealer says yep we got it, and it will
be 50.00. But it turned out he was trying to sell me CKPS. Another fella
here straightened me up and I bought a NEW distributor assembly from EBay
and that fixed my problem.
