Wtf...car BUCKING at 2500 rpm?! Pleaaaase help!
So I was going to go out tonight..coasted down my driveway. And then as I accelerated, it bucked and decelerated mightily. Tried in second. Third. Same thing. Wierd, mothball like smell coming from the exhaust, and the idle seemed fine until massive, random drops.
What the hell is going on?! Is it condensation in the tank? Is it the popcharger? (that i've had on for about 1K). Was it the oil change 2 days ago (a place i've gotten it at changed at before)?
Oi please help

Well I had bucking at exactly 2500 RPM, and deceleration b/c of that. Then a wierd smell in the engine.
It works now..and after it worked I retightened everything. Do these things come off easily or what?! I'm not sure what it is (if it was the popcharger off or what), but i'd certainly love to prevent it again.

No lights at all, which is what really confused me. Should I take it to the dealer in the morning, even though it appears to be working fine? Im worried that there is something in the gas..Wawa is known to be horrendous with gas quality (Wawa=local chain)..and then there is condensation..damn weather.

Ummmm...you might want to step back and think this out first!
What other mods do you have done to your Z? More info is needed about your car before we ccan help! And if the intake is your only mod then you might want to swap out the pop charger for the oem intake setup for "warranty" reasons before you take it in man!
Peace!

Hmm, I just dug this old thread up. My car did this yesterday morning after letting it sit over the weekend. It was in safe mode, and would not rev past 2500 rpm. After turning it off, then back on, it was fine.
WTF??! Is there Microsoft software running in our ECU's? They just boot up badly sometimes? lol
