Driving on the 405 this past weekend when suddenly my Service Engine Soon Light, TCS, and SLIP lights come on and my car starts to decelerate. I had it towed home.

Accelerating over 30 mph only causes the car to kick into fail safe mode and decelerate until it eventually stalls.

Google search suggest it's my MAF sensor though others who reported the same symptoms have mentioned other sensors to go bad.

Anyone recommend a reputable mechanic in the LA area, anything within 7-10 miles of Culver City?

 

Can we get a little more info?

Mileage, year, any work done to the car, any other issues that may have happened before, original owner, accidents, aftermarket intake?

A quick my350z.com search yielded this:

Doesn't sound like a MAF problem

If you want to take it to my guy Mike at Kishi Automotive he will take care of it:

He is in Lawndale and I have been going to him for years and he knows Japanese cars extremely well

 

Hey guys -


Sorry for not providing more info on the initial post.
Went to the Independent Nissan & Japanese Auto Repair. Ended up being my throttle body. http://www.yelp.com/biz/independent-...ir-los-angeles

But for anyone whose curious '04 Touring w/ 138K miles.

No obvious problems prior that that. I had work done on the car back in December - but nothing related to engine work - replaced controls arms and wheel hub etc...

It was driving fine - I even drove 300+ miles down to LA from San Jose last Monday and no problems.

I will admit though, I should've had the car checked before that long drive but since I was on a time crunch and in the middle of relocating I figure I'd get one done one I got here. Lesson learned.

 

Had my TB replaced a few years back as well

03-05 G's and Z's are both known to have issues with them

Glad you got it taken care of
