Default What's wrong with my Z!!!

i haven't been ridin' my z for about a month now. today was the first day that i rode it going to work. i was on a 880 going towards berkeley then my car start acting weird. first without me steppin' on a gas pedal RPM just went up and then it went down below 1000 and the whole car start shakin' and when I tried to step on a gas pedal nothin' was happenin' luckily i managed to exit the freeway before the whole engine shuts off. i waited for a few minutes and then started the car again. it starts and then the RPM goes up to 4000 and then went down below 1000 and u can see the engine shakes and if u step on gas pedal RPM won't even go up. it seems like that there's no gas goin' to the engine. what do you guys think it was? I only had 9000 miles on it and its 2008. Anyway I had it towed and took it back to the dealer in san leandro. they were closed so I just left my car there and prolly go back tomorrow to talk to them about it. I just had to take out my fujita intake and put back the stock one. I hope they can fix it.

talked to the dealer today they said that 12 codes came out! 1708, 1709, 1710, 1711, c1735, p1233 and p1238 and the rest of them says no data. i have no F@ckin idea wut those codes are. and they said that if the wiring of my amplifier causes the electronic failure some shiet it might not cover the warranty. F@@@@CCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!

Not sure if it's universal, but a google search result showed this for a Taurus:

P1233 Fuel Pump Driver Module off-line, (and) Fuel Pump Driver not communicating with PCM.
And for a Titan:

P1238
- IPR circuit failure

I talked to the service manager he seems aight. He was actually one of the first person that owned GT-R. So i hope he's coo to enough to hook me up so i dont need to pay for nothin! man im dead broke right now! i just bought myself an 09 r6.
