So I have been having an issue with my 03 G-Coupe. Its been starting up with the check engine light on, but after a while, in gear, the car to stall intermitently, then jumps back into gear after a couple of seconds. Then the VDC and Slip lights came on with the CEL. After this, when the car was turned off and restarted, it would turn over for a few seconds before actually starting. But this would go away after the car sat for a little while.

Now the engine turns over for a few seconds before starting and starts up with all three lights on, even if sitting overnight.

I got the code checked, and its throwing the Cam Position Sensor P0345.

Also, in a likely related issue, my engine has been drinking oil. I added 2qts 2 weeks ago and it was dry when my mechanic looked at it the Friday.

With these combined issues, what am I looking at? From what I've read on the forum, if it wasn't for the oil issue, I would just replace the sensors. But now I'm not so sure.....

Cars mods are Z-Tube, Pop Charger, and JWT Clutch and Flywheel.

 

Hope you're under warranty. Sounds like you have an OC issue, which the only solution is a new engine.

 

That's what I was thinking.....

And no, I am at close to 130,000mi. right now

 

man sucks your not under warranty, let me know what you find out because my other car (Z) has the OC problem!!!

 

I will let you know. I am sure that I am gonna have to deal with BS on Nissan's/Infiniti's part. Not going into this with the best mindset already.....

FML!

Anyway, as a backup, does anyone know of someone who sells VQ longblocks built to not consume as much oil in TX? I would rather get a new engine than buy a new car.
