They did have a car here and offered that to me, but then said it would be cheaper for me to just overnight a new one. Had I used one off of their car, I'd have to pay double the labor and would have a PS pump that just went through a Dragon beating this weekend as well.

Good luck!!
Yes. It's not engine trouble, it's the stupid throttle bodies. If you do a search on google, you will see that this is a common problem on the 350s as well. These throttle bodies fail randomly...big time thumbs down.

Best of luck man. I'm sure everything will get sorted soon.
Thanks, Alex. Unfortunately/fortunately, I had pretty much 0 issues with boosting my G35. That led to false hopes of having the same luck with this car.

Good meeting you too, Patrick! Thank you so much for the photoshoot...I can't wait to see the pictures!

Also, thank you very much for donating the JWT popcharger to Veronica. I'm sure she really appreciated it. You should have seen how dried up her ancient HKS filter was. The thing was literally wasting away and a few pieces got sucked into the MAF sensor, causing it to go into limp mode.

One of the lines was sitting against the uppipe. That caused the line to blow. 150 miles later, my car went into limp mode for the Throttle Position Sensor(s). At the same time, the pump had seized. As soon as it got to Z1, they managed to get the car to start and the pulley on the pump snapped off.
