New Owner of 03 350z, and problems..
I just recently bought an 03 nissan 350z with 104k miles, The check engine light is on and I hooked up an obd reader and it gave me a random misfire reading. I changed the spark plugs and checked the ignition coils and the car was still misfiring. It misfires at 4,000 rpm and higher so bad that Its almost like I am losing speed. Even worse in 4th and 5th gear. I changed the camshaft sensors because that was a code that came up as well. I changed both. I took the car to a shop and they said that It was my oil that was causing the misfire. They said that the oil was dirty and was "clogging" or blocking up the camshaft sensors due to the viscosity. So I changed the oil and its still misfiring.. My main questing aside from what's wrong is can a clogged crankshaft sensor cause power loss and missfire?

I tried the seafoam and still nothing. Should I try cleaning out the Camshaft sensors? Or is that a waste of time...

Yea, I did. Drove all the way from Missouri to Virginia Beach to pick it up. I only payed $9550 for the car. Only aftermarket parts are a catback borla exhaust and a k&n short ram intake. I did notice a lack of power on the way back home.. but I didnt think nothing of it.. Seeing as how it's my first Z I didnt know what to expect.. but now it's becoming annoying and I dont' want to damage the motor.. if I haven't already
