Nissan 350z 2007
Hi guys i’ve been dealing with this issue as long as almost a month ago. My car turns off while driving, i dont find anything similar on the internet.while driving “TCS OFF” and “SLIP” turns on, the car has a loss of power, under 1000 rpms and it doesnt go more than a 1,000 rpm. I stop, turn off the car then turn it on and it drives normally, then whenever the car wants it happens again..i changed the 2 camshaft sensor, nothing changed. I changed the sensor of the exhaust valve timing (solenoid) for like 2 weeks the car was good and then again the same problem.. im gettin crazy, my car has straight pipe so my service engine light is always on..i really need help. When i plug the computer it only shows a code from the timing valve. Someone told me that maybe i have to change the valve instead of only the sensor. Pls need help ASAP

Sometimes it can be as easy as changing the brand of a component for another (maybe OEM) part. Sometimes there are cascading issues that are causing your Z to enter limp mode. What ever it is, be aware that limp mode is usually triggered when the diagnostic system finds a code that could compromise your safety or seriously damage the drivetrain.
Don't be a trained monkey and start throwing parts at the car. If you're unwilling or unable to get a diagnostic tool to repair your Z, just take it to a qualified Nissan tech in your area and get it done right the first time.
Here's the problem with just taking somebody else's word on this. Without knowing the code, you won't know what the diagnostic system is flagging for this particular issue. Sometimes there are multiple possibilities that you don't explore. It also handicaps you when you SEARCH on this board (or any other source) for solutions to your problem.

not a troll post brother, its a weird problem. My mechanic was trying to fix it but i was asking in here to see if someone had my same issue to not loose time. Ok bro? U got it?
No, but it sounds like you do. Do you want help with this issue or not? Because if you keep up with the "attitude" that I, and I am sure others, are getting from the tone of your responses then you and your "mechanic" are going to be figuring this issue out yourselves because no one here is going to entertain that.
