Default Please someone help me..

hey guys I have a manual 2004 track edition 350z I just got the engine rebuilt on about 1500 miles ago. so I was on my way back home from work and everything was great. I stopped at a stop light and when I went to go, it was like the gas pedal didn't work. I couldn't go past about 8 miles an hour no matter how much I pressed the gas pedal. It was a little jerky too. So I'm like damn this sucks and pull into a parking lot, turn it off, turn it back on but it was slower to turn over. Rev it and it revs like normal, reverses like normal but when I put it into first the same thing happened. So I park it again, turn it off and now it just plain won't start. Anything at this point would help. Thanks in advance. Oh wait now I tried starting it and it turned over. But still same thing with the other part

Sounds like it went limp. Ummm, that's "limp mode", you pervs who thought someting else.

Use the Z's great on-board diagnostics. Pull the codes (or take it to a shop that does free code pulls) and go off the DTCs to resolve. Probably not a big deal. (Other than your not being able to drive the car.)

fuel pump?

I would think if the cam / crank shaft positioning sensors went out you'd throw a CEL...

OP, if you want an OEM fuel pump (no cost) to swap in feel free to PM me...I got a few in the garage.

Hmmmm, you do anything else to the car recently? Change head/taillights? Cleaned your MAF? (Not saying you should! Asking if you did.)

Check your battery and charging system?

What transmission?

I know these sound pretty basic Auto Shop 101 but y'never know. Always good to eliminate the easy, "obvious" stuff first.
