Sounds like "limp mode"...any lights on the dash?

Any mods to the car?

Did you question the fiance?

If it's an 07, you might be under warranty still...take it to the dealer?

I can make a dozen guesses, and most likely one will be correct. But what good will that do? Take the Z in for diagnostics, and get it fixed properly.

Perfz : Sorry man Ive been off the meter busy with everything going on right now..

Camaro: Umm A service engine soon came on about everything happened. Its kind of weird the sequence of events that took place i was driving one minute than everything shut off and turned back on.

Also I tried asked the ex-fiance what happened but seeing as shes abit crazy and she strongly lives by the on going code of..( If your gonna break up with me and I find out before you do it your gonna pay) her lips are completely sealed.. yea sucks but ... cant do much about it.. Im trying to get it to a shop now but with all this check out stuff with the Military time is the last thing I have alot of.

thank you all for your replies
