Any Help?
I have a 2006 350Z and I was driving in rain today and it started to jerk and sputter almost as if it were out of gas. If I push in the clutch, the engine rev's smoothly. As soon as I let the clutch out the RPM's get eratic and wont go above 2000. I limped it to the curb and there it sits. Any help on what it could be or what to check?
Thanks,
Jimmy

The obvious guess would be that something got wet that normally stays dry. Did you drive through any big puddles or standing water?
Chances are if you let it sit for a while, it will dry out on its own and start right up and run normal.
How far do you have to go to limp it home? If it's not too far, I'd say drive it home and let it sit overnight. The ECU does have a limp mode that limits RPM in case of problems and you might be in that state. It runs enough to drive it home or a dealer that way.

I'm too far
I live a couple miles away. It was hard getting it to go a few yards. If I reset the ECU will that help? I didnt hit any bad puddles. Just normal rain.

Nope.. No check engine light. I read somewhere that I need to turn the key on and do a series of timed accelerator pedal pushes?? Whats this your sayin about unplug the battery and hit the brakes?
