Ever since i changed my flywheel, the car started losing power and going into limp mode now and then. I have changed the cam shaft sensor but still but now am not sure if when changing the flywheel the guys damaged the cabling for sensors.

Please help me out because am no longer enjoying the Bakkie like before, it is even hard to overtake other cars because of lack of power.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, please understand that this model isn't offered in the US, so my technical information is very limited. However, I believe it is the same as our Frontier. So, I'll do my best to help.

When you say the flywheel was replaced, are you referring to the clutch? Also, has the check engine light stayed on while the engine is running? If it has, have you scanned the computer for diagnostic trouble codes?

Next, you replaced the cam sensor. Did you check the crankshaft position sensor?

Let me know.

Yes the clutch and I've replaced the crankshaft sensor not the cam.....

When diagnosing the car it doesn't give any codes and as for the engine light it never stayed on.....

Welcome back:

Make sure none of the oxygen sensors were damaged. Also, (and I have to ask) is there any chance the new clutch is slipping? Any exhaust leaks before the catalytic converter?

Do you have a live data scanner? If you do, can you snap shot the short term fuel trims so I can see how the fuel system is responding?

Let me know.
