Default Help :/

I have a 2004 350z. Its got about 68k miles. Yesterday i was driving on the interstate with cruise control on about 75, then it like acted like it was going to stall twice..then everything seemed ok. Again today, i was driving with cruise on 78..and it did it again..like it was gonna shut off. But this time when it did it my VDS light, SLIP light, and SERVICE ENGINE SOON light all came on. I tried to push the VDS switch and it didnt do anything. Now when i turn on my car the service engine light is still on. Doesnt seem good. Theres also a uneven spot on my rotors from breaking. Need new ones..could it be the rotors..or something else? pleaseeee help

surely doubt it is the rotors, you can replace these babies at very reasonable prices all over the net.

Sounds like the problem is the cam position sensor. Take it to an auto parts store and have them read the codes to confirm.

Cam or Crank Position Sensor happened to me, rite around that mileage. Go to Autozone and get a free OBDII Scan.
