Some INFINITI EX35 owners report experiencing stalling with a fuel and oil smell, which may indicate issues with the mass air flow sensor or a dirty throttle body, leading to weak acceleration and poor gas mileage. Others have noted that a faulty O2 sensor can contribute to stalling by affecting the air/fuel mixture. Additionally, some owners detect a fuel smell, suggesting that the engine is not receiving the correct amount of fuel, resulting in increased consumption. Furthermore, some owners report hearing a grinding noise during acceleration, which can be difficult to diagnose as it may be mistaken for a transmission issue. Hesitation during acceleration is another concern, often linked to a clogged activated carbon filter in the EVAP system, which can disrupt fuel tank ventilation and affect engine performance. To address these issues, it is recommended that owners have the mass air flow sensor, throttle body, and O2 sensor inspected, as well as the activated carbon filter checked for clogs. Seeking professional assistance from a mechanic is advised to ensure optimal performance and safety of the INFINITI EX35.
