Hello everyone,

Pardon the forum etiquette, or lack of background knowledge on the topic, but here is my brief story:

I've recently purchased an 03 G35, with 78K miles, clean CarFax, 1 owner, the only issue that I have found with the vehicle and which I was aware of when buying, was that when attempting to start the vehicle on a "hot start" it would not start/turnover and stall, the only temporary solution was to give it a pump of the gas pedal while simultaneously turning the key in order to make it start.

"Cold starts" work as they should.

I've been weaving in out an out of forums, going through recalls, watching youtube videos, etc. without a direct answer. I have seen that this EXACT problem was posted on this site previously, however, there was no follow up by the user in regard to the solution.

Keywords of possible sources of the problem which have came up most frequently are: Fuel Pump, Camshaft Sensors (although I have no check engine warning lights on), and fuel hose.

Can someone please advise?

Don't know how I missed this...

I was thinking TB as well. Glad it's working for you.
