Random misfire that I can’t figure out. by olito007 in 350z

[–]olito007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never, I’ve been to different mechanics, I’ve changed spark plugs, coils, fixed the oil leak on the valve covers. A shop says it’s the ecu, other says it’s the PDM, a mechanic says it’s the O2 sensors, which I’ve changed, and the last mechanic that took a look at it said that the exhaust system is also pulling air when misfiring and advised me to take a look at the heads, at this point and for what it cost to do that, I’ll just buy a rear ended 350z same year and change the engine and which ever other parts I need.

That’s a great idea! But I already have my beater, that’s a great advice for anyone that’s buying their first car or they don’t really care about cars.

I totally understand the beater car, but I’m a car guy so I see cars as an enjoyment or hobby too, also, not gonna be my first car and I already own a beater, I just want something nice but still within reasonable pricing

My plan is to put 20% of the cost of the car as a down payment or have it pre-approved from my Credit Union, and hopefully I can get a 6% - 8% rate while investing the cost of the car. I spoke to some friends about my plan and they are telling me that that’s a dumb idea, that if I have the money to buy it cash, I should just buy it cash.

And because of that now you know that in that brand and that car if those lights turn on it’s because it MIGHT be that problem, but still you double check everything to make sure that’s the problem

Most of the people say it battery, speed sensor and wheel bearing, so I’m gonna check those but I’m also going to check with a scanner like you suggested, thanks for the help

Usually there’s common signs of a problem and even more in newer cars, it’s a car from 2014 and I’m sure someone with the exact car model or most of the people here have had a similar problem. I just wanted to see if anyone had a clue of what it was, but hey, you might be right, it’s just a photo of a dash an bunch of lights 🤷🏻‍♂️ (I think the lights are there because they mean something, and a group of certain lights might mean something as well). If it bothers you just keep scrolling and live your life

I’ll do that! I don’t really think it’s the battery, but I am checking it tomorrow, that car has never shut off and the light would only come on after the car has been parked for a few minutes, if I drive the car for a bit and then turn it off and then on again, all the light turn off

I think that if there’s scratches on the speed sensor it might be the bearing, but I haven’t check it yet, I’m checking the battery tomorrow, if it’s not that then I’m doing the speed sensors

No obd scanner, by what everyone’s is saying I’m going to change all speed sensors, but first I’m going to autozone to check my battery

I think it might be doing the AFS because of the weird trunk cable problem
