camshaft sensor help
Okay so for about a month now, my 2006 infiniti g35 has been losing power every once in a while (mainly at red lights) and when i go to turn the car back on the vdc, slip, and service engine soon lights come on, and when i check the code it comes up that the camshaft sensor needs to be replaced and after a few start ups, the lights go away. well, i decided to change out the sensor finally (twice) and when i did, the car takes a few seconds to turn over and the lights stay on. the first time i changed it was with a junkyard sensor i took and thought it just didn't work either. so i went to autozone and bought a brand new one instead and the same issue came up so i changed it back to the old one and the lights go away and starts up normally but still loses power out of nowhere. i just need help figuring out what is wrong at this point, thank you in advance.

i forget the code number but it reads that its the camshaft position sensor bank 2. and i replaced it with the duralast brand from autozone but i also got one from the junkyard off another g35 and the vdc, slid and ses lights still pop up no matter what. then when i put the old one back in, the lights go away. but it dies out of nowhere

If you plan on keeping the car for awhile I would just order both cam sensors from the dealer. I had the same problems on both of my cars until I bought the new OEM revised cam sensors and never had a problem again. Before the OEM sensors I tried a set from Ebay and a autoparts place on the web and both sets didn't work correctly.
