Hey guys, i hate that i need to dabut this way I have an 03 350z touring.
It was a day like any other yesterday when all of a sudden, my car almost stalls, then doesent, but will not rev past 1200-1500 rpms. eventually the car snapped out of it. Half a mile down the road it happens again, and same thing. Car is completely undrivable. Only thing she would tell me is when it would "snap out of it" id rev it alittle and the VDC, Slip and ABS would flash, then go away and be stuck again. I have attached a video. I cleaned the MAF, Cleaned the connector, checked for codes (NONE)(no CEL light), then just unconnected the battery. Now the car when it starts, it just revs up to 1500 then almsot dies, and back and fourth until it stabilizes....and now the vdc, slip and abs are on all the time...car is still undrivable. I have checked the abs fluid, pads ect. NOTHING has changed from when she was driving fine not even 48 hours ago...please help

 

im not sure of the attachent worked.. here is a link to the video.

What code reader did you use? Does it read abs codes or just generic codes? All my lights were on with no codes related to the problem. Then I used my abs reader and it popped 5 codes.

 

I used the one from advanced auto parts. Im assuming it reads genereic codes. But i dont even have a CEL/SES lit. its just the aforementioned vdc, slip and abs lights. And would an ABS issue cause the car to be undriveable? and not allow rps to rise over 1200?

 

CEL is basically emission issues only.

Your car can still throw codes without illuminating the CEL.

 

damn it, I'm afraid no place around me has a reader for ABS codes, and id have to take it to a dealer.......i cant even drive the car. Has no one run into this issue?

 

and wouldnt the ever common CPS throw a CEL? and if the TPS went gone, wouldnt that through a CEL also?

 

CEL is only required for emission related issues.

Manufacturers are free to choose what illuminates the lamp in addition to the legally mandated emission issues.

 

I threw 4 codes without the CEL on. But my Brake, Slip, VDC off and ABS light were all on. But no check engine (ended up being a bad abs computer). You really need an ABS code reader. Call the stores around. See if they rent or have one.
