So I have a g35 coupe 04. Lately my car has trouble starting. Definitely not an electrical issue.(Or I presume) The engine will turn and crank for about 3-6 seconds before starting, and when it does the VDC and SLIP lights are on. It also seems like the car is running sluggish, as if some cylinders arent working.

Sometimes the car will start normally, but anywhere from 2-10 minutes of driving, 1) If I am driving, the car would try to die, but recover and VDC/SLIP lights come on, and I would keep driving. 2) If I am standing still, the car would just die, and I would have to wait a few seconds and then attempt to start it, which it will after a few seconds of turning.

So yesterday, I changed the spark plugs, and one of them is wet with oil.(Passenger side of the car.) So I am guessing I need to change A)valve cover/gasket B)Fuel Injectors. Could this possibly be the issue, or is it more than that?

When I changed the plugs, the car started normally, and drove maybe 10 minutes completely fine, and then died on me... So I am guessing it is the issue, but not completely sure.

Also, my A/C High pressure pipe is busted.(Big hole) So i need to swap this out as well, and was wondering if the 04 sedan A/C H pressure pipe is the same as the coupe?

 

When my cam sensor went out I got VDC, SES and slip lights all together, you should check for codes before throwing parts at it. I think all the hoses are the same between the coupe and sedan, look on Rock Auto.

 

Cam or crank position sensor. Probably going to pull a P0340/0345 code for one of the cam sensors.
