HEY TODAY I WAS DRIVING FROM COLLEGE AND AS I TOOK OF FROM THE STOP LIGHT I REALIZED DAMN! I GOT A BADDASS RIDE! LOL


BUT ANYWAYS ONES I WAS ON THIRD GEAR I STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO GO IN TO A PARKING STRUCTURE WELL AS SOON AS I STOPPED I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS OVER REVED AND WAS SUCK ON 4000 RPM. I FREAKED OUT MAN. WELL I MANAGED TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON. WHAT CAN THIS BE?

PLEASE HELP..

 

Either the throttle body or the electronics on the gas pedal has malfunctioned since we have electronic drive by wire it is one of those two that has malfunctioned.

 

man im not sure i think its something else. please if someone has experienced the same thing please help me.

If the check engine light is on, you're throwing a code. Have the code read and you will have your answer.

Chances are its a throttle body issue.

 

I had this happen to me on my z31. its very simple but in all honestly no one could figure it out. my firends, wife, and mechanic. I say wife because, hey atleast she tried. :P it was the floor mat that occasionally would get wrapped around the accelerator. The most unfortunate thing about this story is its how the car got totaled. since then i have never used floor mats.

Its worth checking out next time it happens. Hopefully thats all it was.

 

ohhh and just take it to the dealer if its still under warrenty.

 

If the cause was a floormat keeping the throttle depressed, it would not trigger a CEL.

Not to mention that the Z's driver side floormat is kept in place by that rubber tab that goes thru the hole in the mat. Unless the OP has some ghetto aftermarket mats.

Probably the same thing that is keeping your caps lock key stuck is keeping your throttle stuck.

 

lol ok thanx ima just take it to a tech but its that half the time i know more than the damn techs. i hate taking it to nissan because they turn a simple thing in to a big *** deal and it sux.

 

i think its the rims...take them off immediatly...and sell them to me : )
i kid i kid. get that code checked though and find out whats the cause..also have you noticed your headlight haze?

 

yea i noticed the headlight, i fixed that. i believe and hope i fixed the problem. i took off my maf sensor and cleaned it then i used some throttle body cleaner and also bought a new k& n filter and since then ins been running great. thanx for the help guys. ill have new pix of my car hopefully soon cuz i want yall to see it.

 

I never thought of that one.
