Default 2003 350z. I checked threads but still no fix

My slip light and vdc lights are on. Car wont go over 2000rpms, i reset ecu, but removing battery and depressing brake, also let it sit over night with battery disconnected, codes still lit, and still wont rev. Parts i threw at it are, maf sensor, throttle body, accelerator position sensor. Still say problen.. I checked the air filter its dry. I may have done more just can't think of what... I had the codes. See if i can find my notes. Any help will be appreciated.

Just remembered, wherein i took it to autozone, i was told it was the cruise control.

You are in "limp mode." You have thrown random parts at the problem, and there is no fix. Please post the codes.

BTW: Your Nissan dealership will fix this problem quickly.

Dealerships are stealerships, i took a car in once, the bill for one day of diagnostic was nearly 700.00 they wanted our another day.. Took it to a local garage the repair bill was 50.00. A garage said it was a common problem. That was a lincoln towncar brought to a lincoln dealership.. I did what any dealership would do, throw parts at it, atleast i am not stuck with a labor bill.

lincoln/ford hence your problem. I have known of many ford dealers that did some really shotty work that i repaired for friends for near nothing. Chrysler/dodge is nearly the same.

Yes. I did get one lemon for a car that was a 1990., BUT I bought a new lincoln in 99, sold it last year.. Twice a dealer once for factory recall. Intake manifold, 2nd time o2 sensor.. When I sold it it still ran beautiful.. 45,000 well spent dollars.. 350z is my second car, other turd is 300c... 2 cars and there both a headache

My car developed the same problem with recurrent limp mode, threw a bunch of different codes, ended up replacing the parts you listed plus a few more, eventually took half the car apart and found a 1/2" bare area in the wiring harness that was apparently intermittently causing the ECU to detect an issue, causing the codes and limp mode. It appeared the wire had never had any insulation in that spot, not that it had worn through (yay, Nissan). It cost >$2K in unnecessary parts and labor plus 5 cents worth of electrical tape to eventually solve the problem.
