Hi,I do not understand who you were talking to.I think they all just wanted your money or didn't want to help!We have gotten our tires for our I35 everywhere and were never told that!We have never had Bridgestone tires either. Firestone,townfair tire and sears have all put tires on for me within a half an hour:)Like i said,never heard of that and have never had a problem and our car is used for delivery all day everyday so we go through tires!

I have a similar issue w/ my '04 I35 (130K miles). I've noticed that the knocking sound happens mostly when I am only local roads probably on 2nd gear coasting at 2000rpm. I do not hear it when I'm on the highway. The interesting part is that this morning I had the "service engine soon" light come on. What do you recommend that I look at? Thank you

Well pinging only occurs under engine load. You wouldn't be getting pinging if you were coasting leisurely. In any event, scanning for a trouble code might give you some hints.

I changed the oil and found that it was low on oil even though the dip stick indicated otherwise. Drove about 5 miles to Autozone and had them scan the code and it indicates the camshaft sensor (P0011). Now I'm trying to find a diagram to locate the camshaft "A" sensor

I sent a diagram to you via e-mail.

I have tried the premium gas and I still get the pinging or valve rattle which ever it might be
I know the car has high mileage but it has been very well maintained.
What I'm asking is what would anybody advise to look at next? knock sensor , camshaft semsor etc...
 Thanks

Yes could be any of those---you can have the timing checked with a timing light---but cam sensor, crank sensor and even a bad ECM can cause this problem. Also the timing chain could be worn, which would be unusual, but...
 
The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.

That solved the problem completely? How many miles did you have on it when you had this done. This sounds costly!

#571 of 596 Motor Mount on 2004 I 35 by leftcoaster

Aug 12, 2011 (2:16 pm)

I just had to replace the motor mounts on my 2004 I35. The mount I had to get was quite a bit more expensive than previously thought because as it turns out, the motor mount has a sensor on it and we had to get it from Infiniti. The repair people ( not Infiniti ) had no idea what that sensor did. Anybody know?
 
Thanks.
