Problems:
Oil consumption issues
The VQ35HR engine in the 2009 Nissan 350Z is known to sometimes have higher oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels if not monitored regularly.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioner can wear out over time, leading to a rattling noise from the engine and potential engine timing issues.
Coolant leaks
The 350Z can develop coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses, which can lead to overheating if not addressed promptly.
Camshaft position sensor failure
The camshaft position sensors can fail, leading to engine misfires, poor performance, and difficulty starting the vehicle.
Valve cover gasket leaks
The valve cover gaskets can deteriorate and leak oil, which can lead to oil seeping into the spark plug wells and causing misfires.
Fuel pump issues
Fuel pump failures can result in poor fuel delivery, causing the engine to run lean, misfire, or even stall.
Mass air flow sensor problems
The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings and poor engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks, increased noise, and potential emissions problems.
