Had a bit of a hurry, the car went back into "limp mode" with orginal air intake when I took a long ride ...
After much searching I found the problem, also saw that it had been up to this forum: I had changed the tail light bulb, to an LED ..!
ECU box went "bananas", changed back to the original bulbs, now the car runs properly with the aFe intake kit.
You learn as long as you live ...
To make a long story short, according to the mechanic ...
LEDs volts (must have a resistance ?) sends a signal to the box / anti-spin / throttle damper, that the car brakes, causing the throttel damper closes down to 17%, car goes to "Limp mode", no error codes in the box. That is the explanation i got from the mechanic man.
Have driven the car 350 km, not a shred of an error, goes perfectly ...
Before the car went 40-50 km, then error ...
I'm no expert, but I fully believe that this was the problem.
But if you have an better explanation / solution why it goes to "limp mode"
without error code, pls tell me.
Several years ago I replaced every single filament bulb in my Z with an equivalent LED. Not a single issue. That's all I can tell you, but if your car is OK now, then leave it alone.
?? Did the LEDs you installed also have 35-50 watt resistors wired in?
They make the car's computer see the LEDs as standard incandescent bulbs.
If not, that's your solution to having your cake & eating it too.
I got four dirt cheap (under $7) on eBay and no fuss from my car.
Just search for 4x LED Load Resistor - delivery did take maybe 3 weeks, but then again, I didn't pay $50 and up
