how do i know if its the timing chain, lifters, or my camshaft sensor?
What is your question?
when i first start my car, it has a ticking sound coming from passenger side of the motor. it somtimes comes and goes. while driving it will shift hard and when lift off the accelorator it slows down like im pressing the brake. But i have changed the alternator 3 times with in 1 year. so i decided to buy a new battery cus i was having to jump start my car everytime i shut it off. but i cleaned the terminal cable connecters and the noise completely stopped but only for a few days. took it to auto zone and they told me i had some kinda of drawl that was pulling power from somewhere when car was shut off.. I really am confused with what it might be plz help me . Also a nissan tech said it was my belts , so i replaced them and nothing changed, he listened for a second and said it was timing chain but will the ticking come and go if it was the timing chain or would it constantly be there. and also will the o2 sensors be a part of the ticking noise?
