2005 G35 Coupe 6MT - STRANGE electrical/starting issue
Hey guys. I recently picked up this 05 6mt coupe for really cheap and it was all good until a few days later (last night).
Sat in the car with the radio on car off for a while then I start it no problem, runs fine then 5 minutes after idling the ABS, SLIP, VDC off lights start flashing rapidly. Eventually the airbag light flashes too. Radio starts cutting out. The car begins to run poorly. I can rev it when it's in neutral but if I try and put it in gear to move it will not go anywhere? How does this make sense??
I charged the battery fully thinking it was just low, problems went away when I installed the battery the next morning with a full charge. Thought it was fixed. Drove around today and while driving down a main road randomly it cut all power to the throttle. I step on the gas and it doesn't go anywhere. Idle into a parking lot then all the lights start flashing again.
Car starts to run poorly so I shut it off again and it is too weak to start (cranks slowly but not fast enough to fire up). I let it sit for a minute and try again, and it starts up. Let it run and it's doing the same thing again.
What could it be? I also seem to be smelling like burnt plastic or something

Maybe this help?
I believe after so long these wires start to become loose and ARC out onto the next closest 5v low voltage line.
