There's also the chance that my issue had nothing to do with the gunk I cleaned out. The problem may have been the result of a poor seal around the plenum spacer which happend to be resolved when I put the plenum back on and tightened it again. I'm leaning toward the cause being the gunk though because I didn't have any plenum bolts that were super loose, just a few that came out a little easier than the rest.

now i'm getting weirder problems- the car turned over fine throughout the day- and then out'a no where i stop somewhere and start the car, the hesitation began and the car shut off completely- i even tried to restart the car and then it doesn't even want to fire up at all- like if the battery was dead- turn the key all the way off - waited a few minutes- and then car starts back up normally- i still get no CEL at all

I am new to the forum and I have had this starting issue since my car had 11k miles on it. It really doesn't matter if it's in the morning, afternoon, evening, raining, snowing, sun shining, just driven 5 minutes or 2 hrs. It happens when it wants to happen. I can go a week or so and then it will start again. I have brought it to the dealership and left it for an entire weekend. They insisted they couldn't replicate it but I don't believe they did more than one test, the first day I brought it to them. They reprogrammed my keys but it is still happening.
I know with all the posts here it can't be that a dealership hasn't figured out what the problem is.
I have 2006 G35 Coupe and noticed it's not just on one specific year.
If anyone has a definite fix for this please let us know.
Thanks!
