Hi fellow Z owners, my car has been having problems. I come to you for aid.

A month ago, I noticed I was a stop light and the engine would just turn off, I have to crank the ignition about 4 seconds to get it back up. Recently its been occuring more frequently. This time I might've cranked the ignition so many times trying to restart that it caused check engine light to appear. As a result VDC and Slip light are on as well (which I assume it's normal if CEL is on). I reset the ECU, CEL went away until 15 mins of driving it stalled again. I am now afraid of driving it because it has become really hard to restart the car back up.

I got the CEL checked @ autozone and they said its my camshaft position sensor code.

My question is, how do i fix this? What causes the car to stall while on idle? (idles about 700-800) I've seen it stall at 1100 rpm. Will a new camshaft position sensor solve this problem? What caused the sensor to become bad? My battery meter is about 3/4 on the gauge, i dont think its my battery.

Any help is greatly appreciated....

 

This same exact thing happened to me, it is the camshaft sensor. If you replace it the problem is solved.

 

Thanks Chris, I'll try this tomorrow.

had the same problem once...

 

I have also had this problem and replaced the Exhaust Gas Sensor and it still happens. The car drives fine it only happens when I come to a stop and not all the time. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,
