Default New Z owner need some help..

Hey guys just bought a turbonetics brickyard 350 z for NY an sadly the kid didn't no much of anything about the car. But I'm having a issue of it going into limp mod. Won't go over 2500 rpm. Flooding its self maybe? No cel nothing only thing strange is the volt meter is pinned maxed kid said it was broke. Car does it only sometimes an when it does if I turn the car of an back on its fine again. Any help would be great thanks!

Its a used car imagine that its having issues. Big surprise there. I didn't ask what I bought I'm well aware of that. An sadly love the car just not most of the community these forums are redic . First forum ever were 90 percent of it is ppl an smart *** remarks. Come one its easier to not type anything then go outta your way to state the obvious. But thanks to those that do give helpful feedback seems there a limited few

MASS air
Throttle body
Brake issue

Yes I mentioned brake issue. Some aftermarket tail lights will cause this. The engine has a throttle cut with brake applied. Some tail lights will cause the throttle cut, same with a bad brake light switch.

Stock taillights an not a single dash light on. But my volt meter is way high which raises with rpms an it usually puts me into limp mode when I get on it maybe sending to strong of a signal?

I believe a fault knock could easily cause that.

Btw , what voltage are you seeing? Measure with a real voltmeter on the battery.

Battery an alt got tested today no issues at all. But the metter inside the car always reads maxed out? The knock sensor could explain the bog an shitty idle. An the misfire code I think. But would it throw the car into limp mode now an then?
