Default 04' z, Service Engine + TCS + Slip lights all came on at same time

I know this has been posted before about 5 years ago.

I cranked my Z a few weeks ago and haven't ran it in about 2 weeks prior to that. The crank kinda stuttered and then cranked with all the above lights coming on. I let it run for a little while and then drove it and didn't really notice anything out of the normal. I have been running the car almost every day for the last week and the service light stays on all the time now and every now and then the TCS + SLIP light would come on with some of the cranks being not normal.

I have done a little research and could possibly be a loose wire but haven't found a fix. Anyone know of a fix and what the possible issue is?

I am about to sell the car and would like to have the issue resolved as quickly and without paying an arm and a leg.

Thanks!

A code reader would be a great place to start if the reset doesn't help.

I knew it was an older post, but at first I couldn't find anything on it. I've had some luck in the past asking for follow ups as members forget to update after an issue is solved. I think I found a better article on here about it though, sounds very much like a crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor. May try your suggestion also though.

Cheers

Well I hooked it up to a diagnostic and it threw out a P0340 code, so first item to cross off my list will be the camshaft sensor bank 1. if that doesn't fix it I will move on to the next sensor and lastly the crankshaft sensor.

fingers crossed.
