so i started up the car today and boom died out on me start it up again to rev it a lil and i put my foot down on the pedal to rev it and the car wont rev it just dies out

the battery is brand new and the car has gas in it anyone know what the problem good be?

bad fuel pump??

idk some 1 help me out thoug

04 enthu. z

 

make sure when you turn the key on the fuel pump is coming on. try that first.

 

o ok ill try tht first thing tomorow and post back up here

 

hmm...

I'm no pro when it comes to car issues, but it sounds like you might also have an issue with plugs/wires?(or something related to that) if the car is turning over I would assume there should be enough fuel in there.. but if it dies shortly after... ?

..just a thought

 

Any codes?

Clean the MAF
Clean air filter
Change fuel filter
Change spark plugs
Check for plenum leaks / vacuum issues
Do the throttle re-learn procedure
All the normal chit

 

hmm well now i started it up today and it works fine

so im guessing somethings wrong with the plugs or the wires

the check engine light is on so im going to take it to autozone tomorow and see what the code is its throwing and run a diagnostic

i think the problem is just with the computer itself..

 

so took the car to autozone today to read the code

came out as the tps is not responding right that is connected to the cluth

the computer is sending a eror causing me to have the problems

the car only died on me 2wice today

i cleared the code but it came up again after about 10 miles

so looks like im sending the car to nissan to get the item replaced under warrant

ugh

now what no z for a couple a days

sucks!

 

TPS = throttle position sensor. I'd try the re-learn procedure before letting them take it apart.

 

re learn procedure?

sorry im new to all this

 

How can you change the fuel filter? There isn't one on the Z.

 

Are you sure about that?

Well, I don't know how you check yours, but on every other Z & G (besides yours), the fuel filter is here. Gotta luv the n00bs on this forum. Lol~

 

It really is not a fuel filter persay but a fuel sock that every fuel pump(just about) has and most cars have a real fuel filter that can be replaced easily.Nissan just uses the fuel pump sock as it fuel filter as does Chrysler products and a few others.
