Clutch Died?

[Kenrik]

G35 Coupe - 107k last clutch was done at 47k.

Ok so driving and my Check engine VDC and Slip lights all come on and the car lost 90% of it's power.. It limps along at a few miles per hour but nothing else.

Clutch?

Pulled Code - "P1124"

Related to O2 Sensors? I my O2 Sensors have been running codes on and off for the past few months. Did they finally take a dump?

Blah.. says it's the throttle body control motor. I hear a click when I press the gas and it will not go above 1500rpms

Buy a new Throttle body or is it possible to fix it?

You may want to check with Infiniti on that, there may have been a recall on the TPS. They had some issues with those.

It's not the clutch, obviously. If it was, you'd be able to rev it to hell and the car would just move along without accelerating much.

I haven't heard of anyone repairing the throttle. Those things are ridiculously touchy and prone to failure.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

I would start by reseting the computer.

Then I would find the source of the clicking sound.

Also, what is the idle like? Any other codes other than the O2? I know it will make your car run rough but it should exceed 1500 no problem... weird.

You're gonna need to replace the TB.

Your car's in limp mode ( which is why you're limited to so low an RPM ), and like others have mentioned before, it's not the clutch.

It's something MAF or throttle related most likely. Nissans are very finicky in this department.

Could be O2 sensor, but some other issue could trip the O2 code for being out of the A/F bandwidth...such as an MAF or throttle issue.

First thing I would check is the MAF. Pull it out and look inside with a flash light, make sure you have not ingested a leaf or bug part. The closed loop control is a tricky one and without watching the live data I can only shoot in the dark.

More likely than not the P1148 will set as a secondary code, by its logic it is more of an effectual trouble code than a root code. Something like a Cam Position sensor dtc would lead you to the cause. This code right here and my personal favorite U1000 are those that can try the most senior diagnostic techs sometimes. Remember check the basics first then work from there.
