Hello, I just bought a 04 350z touring roadster, I bought it knowing the check engine light is on, I took it to autozone to have them run my codes, it came back with 6 codes, 3 of which are duplicated. The codes are p0011, P0021, and p0113. The day I bought it I changed the oil and oil filter. I have a g35 coupe as well, so i tried putting my Gs cam shaft sensor in the Z, didnt change anything, I tried cleaning the mass airflow sensor, the check engine light keeps going off. Any body run into these codes before and fix it?

I know what codes they are, It seems as though something else is causing those codes to pop up, I read somewhere that a misaligned flywheel could cause those codes to pop up. Im hoping some one will read this who had a similar problem and fixed it. I cant register the car until the check engine problem is resolved

If you can't figure this out on your own, then why'd you buy a car that's throwing PIDs? You're better served if you take it to a shop to have a proper diagnosis run on it. It'll save you money over throwing parts at it based on guesses people make over the internet (even educated ones.) All the diagnostic equipment I have is useless without your car sitting in front of me.

zakmartin, your right, I thought it was a simple fix, but it seems more complex, I have an appointment with Precision Z on the 23rd, here in Socal their like the Z/G wizards. The car will be given a full inspection upon arrival, then I'll know why she's throwing these codes. I'll update the thread once I know whats wrong so other Z owners who have similar codes will know what to expect.

Yeah, sounds like you're doing right by yourself. I know people who have bought "projects" that ended up being lawn ornaments because they didn't realize how in over their heads they were. This could be any number of things from a stretched timing chain to (as you mentioned,) a misaligned flywheel, to aftermarket sensors, to... well, a lot of things.

Well Im glad to say the problem was resolved, turns out it was a misaligned clutch and flywheel, but the tech said the flywheel was done and the clutch was fried, ended up going with a Luk clutch and Jim wolf single mass flywheel. Check engine is gone. The tech did say that the alignment was 180 degrees off as well. I learnt how to drive stick on a dead clutch and flywheel lol, once I picked up my car I felt like I was driving a whole different car. So for anyone with p0011 and p0021 codes right after a clutch job the problem is most likely the tech who did the job sucked at his job. Cheers
