I was driving to the local gas station just a minute ago, and as I was pulling out into traffic when all of a sudden the car stopped going forward. When I would push on the acceleration pedal there was no response. The car stayed at idle. I looked down at my gauges to make sure the car was still running, and it was sitting at perfect idle...but the TCS Off light was on as well as the SLIP light. They stayed on. I was at this point half way into traffic, so I put it in reverse, and the accelerator pedal worked perfect. I then put it back into drive and the same thing happened...NOTHING. I turned the car off, and then back on and the warning lights went off, and the car drove perfect! I drive a 2003 auto 350z. I recently put on some Tein S Tech springs. The car has a short ram intake, Volk TE37's 18". I need to know if anyone else has ever seen this! Any help would be GREAT!

 

I had the same young happen...took it to the dealer and they told me it was the throttle body...sure enough changed it and problem solved...BTW I have an 03 auto

 

What's the mileage?

 

The mileage is 77K.
I'll check about the throttle body.

 

There is a throttle body reset you can do:

Turn the key to on for 2 sec
Turn the key off for 10 sec
Turn the key to on for 2 sec
Turn the key off for 10

Within the last 10 you should hear the throttle body open and close (or have someone look at it)

It will re-learn the open and close procedure.

If you get any CEL's run an ecu reset ( search on the boards) you have to turn the key to on, pump you gas pedal 5 times in 5 sec........it goes on.

 

sounds like you gotta clean the maf and throttle body. take it apart and make sure nothing is loose.

 

I will take that apart and give it a try. The problem has only happened once... (Knock on wood) So I will do that cleaning and see what happens in the future.
