Question Need Help

Today i started up my z and started to leave work and when i got around 3grand it sputtered like it was out of gas... I pulled back in to work and let it run at idle and slow reved it and still sputtered. I turned it off and turned it back on and it ran fine. I got on to the highway and got on it once and it sputtered again this time not until around 5 grand. Any guesses I think it's bad gas. I only have 16k miles and no major upgrades. Anyone have this happen i don't think it's injectors or fuel pump because it's too new.

a tech once forgot to hook up the MAF sensor and the engine sputtered under acceleration. Check your MAF connection. Yes, bad gas would do the same.
