The catalytic converters can fail prematurely, which can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the engine if pieces are ingested into the combustion chamber.
Coolant leaks
The VQ35DE engine can suffer from coolant leaks, particularly at the thermostat housing and around the intake manifold.
Variable valve timing (vvt) solenoids
Issues with the VVT solenoids can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Knock sensor
A faulty knock sensor can cause the engine to run in a reduced power mode to prevent damage, leading to poor performance and fuel economy.
