i was leaving chipotle (best fast mexican food ever) today. turned on the car, and it only revved to like 1.5k. this has happened many times when only being out of the car for less than 5 miunutes.

so i continued leaving the parking lot. and noticed that the service light and slip light were on. then i realize that im full throttling the car and its not even at 2k rpm.

ive got the car at full throttle in first gear for like 30 seconds and im only at about 10mph... took me over 2 minutes to get to 25mph.

so after finding a place to park the car if i had to leave it there for a few hours i turned it off. started it up again and it was fine.

the service light is still on. my last service was 3k mile ago.

MAF? dosent seem like it would have anything to do with the 06 oil consumption problem...

your thoughts?

 

Do snails rev?

 

ive seen it before! ;x

 

I had this exact same problem last week. I took it to the shop and they flushed the fuel injectors and then the car worked again (I could get over 1.5 k RPM). However, the problem happened again yesterday. Does anyone know what is really causing this problem? Both times this has happened shortly after filling up a tank that was nearly empty.

 

maybe the clutch is gone?

 

mine did that about 2 years ago. never did it ever again. That was around 40k ...im at 75k now

 

the thread is revived! after i started this thread i went down to nissan. came back with a "bad fuel" code. they flushed my injectors and it was fine.... until JUST NOW. i was leaving to get my dads fathers day gift and BAM!

Z = on my hate list now. hah... gotta see how many peeps can chime in having this problem.

 

They flushed my injectors and it fixed the problem temporarily. One week later the problem returned. I took it to Nissan and they had to replace the electronic throttle control actuator under warranty. Car has been fine ever since. I'm at 55k
