here is my story 03 350z manual touring- note that this does not happen all the time but when i take my car out and floor it it will hit about 5000rpm and just loose all power cutting out and make the car jerky ( only when i floor it, if i just let the rpms ride up to 5000 no problem) this happened again last night and this time when it happened i didnt let off i tried to keep pushing it hoping it would either clear its self or set a code but that was not the case car just shut right off/died i pulled over and started it again

also a few weeks ago i had another problem where as soon as i started the car it would start up then die after 3-5 sec not sure if its related but could be

i have no codes being set no slip light or any thing, i tried cleaning the MAF to see if it would help but no luck

where do i turn from here ?


Thanks in advance!

 

For info on the car. Mods milage recent things you changed ext.... We don't work magic with no info

 

are these episodes of your car losing power - during the rain or after you wash you car by anychance? do you have a cold air intake?

 

almost sounds like the ebay led taillight syndrome. U know, the one ppl think is not real haha..totally is tho.

 

03 with 116,000 i did the clutch over the winter thats about it, yes i do have CIA and i did happen to was my car last night but drove for 2 hours before it happened but i think it has happened with no rain or wash

and its kinda feels like running out of gas that big chug you get and then pick up a bit of gas then chug again i tried to get a video today but could not get it to happen

 

oh just wondering. because a couple times after i've washed my car i'll get on it and it will lose power for like half a second at 3500 - 4000 rpms, then jerk and gain power again. kinda weird but apparently it was just some water that got into the filter..

 

mmmm, Canada.

 

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like

Squeaking brakes

instead of

Help

Need help immediately

or

If you don't help right away I will die!

 

try an ecu reset

 

Could be a camshaft position sensor, 03s are notorious for that issue. My guess would be that especially if with that many miles on the car and never had to replace it.

 

i did do an ECU reset about 2 weeks ago that seemed to help with the car dying on start up,

i will look into the Cam position sensor
