I dont know if its a huge coincidence or its the cause of it but the car's shutting off randomly while im driving ever since i hit a huge pot hole and slammed the car really hard. I notice it only happens when i press down the clutch to shift or coming to a stop with the clutch also press down of course
There's no code , no light , no recall for the cam sensor , i already called the dealership to make sure and the car doesnt have trouble starting right up after. Im pretty sure something got loose when i slammed the car hitting that damn pot hole but i just dont know what it is, any thoughts ?
Car has 88k miles with oem clutch , K&N intake , plenum spacer . That's it

Had a similar situation with a bad battery connection. Car would shut off when coming to a complete stop and the battery would move. Fixed terminal connection fixed the issue for me.

Had similar situation. Clean the MAF. They sell a spray at your local autozone. Corrected my low idle when I came to a stop, and the random shut offs when I would stop or put in nuetral. It's def a good idea to do this anytime you clean your filter.

Checked and the battery connection is solid. Theres no play, and like i said, it only happens when the car's hot. If only it throws a damn code

Missed the hot part. I would clean the MAF like others have mentioned.

if not the easy stuff, your Z may have a busted BCM or harness

Well it is a 13 years old car after all, im not surprised when things like this go wrong anymore haha. I just hope it throws a code or something so i can pin point the problem

UPDATE : The culprit was my TB , it was extremely filthy so after a thorough cleaning the problem went away . Hopefully this helps anyone who has the same problem.
Make sure you disconnect the NEGATIVE plug on the battery first before cleaning the TB and leave it unplug for a whole day . I did that and i had no high idle or CEL when i turned the car on. Cheers !

Don't forget to relearn if there's idle issues, good job!
