Hmm, had something like this happen to me, didnt replace any sensors though. took it into the dealer for a whole month and all they did was directly wire the maf to the ecu. Although they did fry the ecu while diagnosing it. Might be something bad with the engine harness im assuming.

Its been almost 2 yrs now and the car is running good still.

Know anyone else with a G that you can use parts off of to test? Like MAF

Also have you checked for vacuum leaks? Must be a big one if you car stumbles like this.

OR could it be that you just have really bad gas?
Well, the G is up at the Gwinnett Infiniti slightly North of Atlanta now :/

The SES thrown during the video is just 0603 which is from having the negative battery terminal disconnected for too long. No codes.

after watching the video it definitely seems like the fuel isn't getting to the engine.

Have you tried driving it? Does it move or stalls when you put it in gear?

It might also be the throttlebody. But usually you don't hear about TBs going out all of a sudden.

Is there a way to drain the fuel and put in new one? Just to eliminate the bad gas theory? But if you filled up at your usual station and put in premium then that might not really be the issue.

**** man, I feel sorry for your situation though. It sucks

The fuel pump is pretty easy to replace if you need to do that. It's behind the passenger seat.

He already replaced that and it didn't change anything.

OKAY! $476 later, I got the car back from the dealer. Problematic part? Fuel pressure regulator. Normally a $50 part located in the fuel pump assembly. I replaced the pump out of the assembly in a matter of 20-30 minutes. They charged me for 3 HOURS. Needless to say I'm a little frustrated, but they fixed it, and I didn't. If anyone has any questions, or related problems let me know or post here.
