Wow! So all they did was pull out the ziplock bag? Did your car throw any codes?

 

Noted as the first case I have seen.

 

Something similar happened to me today, even though this is the first time i did not go to the dealer to change my oil, I went to and shop and go Eneos oild 5w-30 I probably only drove like 20 miles on and service light came on and when idle the RPM is stuck at 1 it wont move below it.

 

I would be worried about this if I owned a current G37. Definitely something you all should keep an eye out for. Anything strange happens with the car, take it to the dealer. Maybe, you guys should start a form...to send to Infiniti about a possible issue..could help them prevent this from happening with the 2010.

 

Is the "Service Engine Soon" light still on? Either way, take it to the dealer and have them check it out.

Infiniti is aware of the issue. The dealership contacted Infiniti's tech line to figure out how to fix this as they had never anything like it before. Personally, I am a little concerned about the VQ37VHR motors as this is Infiniti's first VVEL motor and there have been issues with the bank #2 VVEL in the 08 coupes. It is also one of the reasons why I am still using Nissan Ester Oil and haven't switched over to a full synthetic yet.

 

Just because your dealer called Infiniti's tech does not mean the organization as a whole is aware of the situation at hand. When there is a list of people with the same issue, that's when you talk to someone actually important, and get noticed. One issue will not make them look over future engines.

 

I have a '08 G37 Coupe for sale on the dealership lot with 52k miles and the car runs like a champ still and no service history issues.

It could just be a rare issue but not everyone has been having problems, especially the countless amount of non-forum members.

 

today i started the car up fine and drove to work and then left work to come home BAM! i parked in the drive way for a min and shut it off and put something in the garage and went back to start the car again and i get clicked sounds and no start. windows dont even roll down or up. had the battery tested last week and it was fine. now this. i just hit 22000 on my 08. awhile back i had the same problem the car would not pass 1krpms.

 

I know this is and old thread, but I just found it while searching this p1090 issue with my 2011 g37 IPL coupe. its been to the dealer a total of 21 days, and 3 different times, and they cannot fix the problem. they have changed a module, and a relay. I now have a case opened with infiniti corporate and hopefully they can get the darn thing fixed.


I bought my IPL coupe used last month on 11/13/14. its been in the shop for 21 days, twice for 10 days each, and once for an overnight stay. it also has sat undriveable in the driveway for 8 days while waiting for an opening to get it into the dealership. what a joke. im extremely frustrated with them. I keep getting "we cant get the car to duplicate the problem" yet its been towed in twice with the check engine light on and in limp mode!! WTF is that??

 

That is why I will never purchase a used vehicle.

A brand new vehicle comes with all new parts and a warranty with no previous abuse or among the 400k vehicles that saw Hurricane Sandy

Good luck

This may be kind of late, but I had a similar issue with my '09 6MT coupe. My car was in and out of limp mode and had to bring it back to dealer multiple times. I didn't get the same code, but my issue had to do with a blown gasket that needed to be replaced on the timing chain rear cover. Here is a link to that post if it helps any...

I had this happen to me over the summer,( Same codes) 09G37X sedan 59k at the time, I had a vacuum leak at the manifold, fixed it hasn't come back since :/

 

Well the car is still under full factory warranty, and there are no signs of abuse or aftermarket parts ever being installed on it. nor any signs of water damage from sandy. the car needs the actuator for the vvel system replaced and the wiring harness like the OP stated. they have already replaced the module and ruled out the relays, unfortunately the dealer wont just change the parts until they can confirm they are bad. but they can never seem to get it to act up while they have it.


go ahead and buy the new car and pay the HUGE mark up. im all set with that. this car new cost over 51k, the sticker is in the owners manual packet, i paid 25988 for it, and will gladly rock it once its fixed with my $300 per month payment while you drive your "new" car with a payment that is probably over double that maybe triple. oh yeah, and guess what sandy didn't go around every new car dealership, there were plenty of "new" cars that she affected. so its a crap shoot no matter which way you look at it....

 

was yours doing it intermittently like mine? i can drive 100+ miles with no problem, other times i cant drive to the corner store for a gallon of milk without it happening. theres no rhyme or reason as to when it will act up.

 

got the car back Friday, their regional tech said it was the actuator on the head, and they replaced that. so far so good. glad to have my car back...
