2003 350Z with a unique problem
Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
i just bought a used high mileage 2003 350z and its throwing a p1078 and p1084 code. Yes i have searched and i know that these codes mean that the exhaust timing sensor needs replacing.
However, here lies the problem :
the Vehicle does NOT have a rev up motor (i checked the front of the engine. looks exactly like a 03-04 motor). so would a 03-04 ECU throw these codes?
this leads me to believe that
A) the previous owner swapped his engine with a vq35de from another nissan (which might have variable valve timing to the exhaust camshaft) and maybe installed that engines ECU (would that work?)
B) he might have installed a 03-04 motor but maybe installed the wrong ecu (05-06)?
I am clueless as to how to proceed and the service engine soon light is annoying the hell out of me.
your help is greatly appreciated folks.
