G35 is getting really messed up

Today on my drive home, my G started stalling, and when I push the gas it wouldn't move forward, lights on my dash started blinking; abs, at check, slip, vdc off, and the dash was blinking on and off. Then it would kick back into gear and then not. I was near my house. When I parked and turned it off, it wouldn't turn back on and no lights would come on anywhere. The starter, battery are new and tested good. wtf happened?

Cam position sensors I think. All the symptoms you describe when my engine started acting up. My engine actually died in drive at idle when I stopped at a stop sign!

Search DIY replace cam position sensors. Start with the passenger (easy) and move to drivers if your issue persists. This is 60$ each side so relatively easy repair. I'm guessing your around 100K miles/8 Years?

Sounds like you may possibly have gotten water or an excessive amount of moisture in the ipdm which is located behind the battery.

Below your battery tray there is a drain hole for water to drain from rain and such. I have seen in the past where water will back up and get inside the ipdm and cause corrosion on the pins and fry it completely. I just threw away a ipdm that I replaced a week ago for this exact problem. Car was running like crap and had all kinds of crazy codes stored in it.

Well at least I started it up and moved in back and fourth in the parking spot with no lights coming on and no issues... The snow is too deep to take it for a ride.... It seems fixed at least
