My car did the same over a prolonged period of time. Had to have the immobilizer changed. Haven't had a problem since. If you keep experiencing problems with it just shoot me a PM and I'll get the part #

Question this is probably a stupid question...

Was your car at full operating temperature? And was it a warm/hot day?

I've had that happen to me 2 or 3 times over the course of owning my Z. It's been 5 years now. It's never caused a big problem. Maybe just some random gliche...
