Thanks. I posted this on a 370z forum and they were all saying the same thing.

That’s what I did. I’ll see if it’s back when I pick up the car. Just wanted to make sure the seller wasn’t trying to trick me.

Did the screwdriver test and I hear it from both valve covers. Is there anything else it could be other than a connecting rod?

[Ben]

But wouldn’t the smell be a symptom of a stuck intake valve?

I switched to your recommended components and bought them.

I sprayed the wires and vacuum lines and didn’t find anything.
But I did find a few loose vacuum lines and haven’t gotten any CELs yet.
So I think that did the trick…or it went back into hiding. Only time will tell…
Thanks for the help!

I disconnected the #1 fuel injector and RPMs dropped so I’ve eliminated that. I’m willing to bet it’s a vacuum leak. I’ll buy the supplies tomorrow and check for that.

I saw a comment on the video saying not to do this unless you have individual coil packs which my car doesn’t. Would unplugging fuel injectors work just the same in my situation?
