I've had my Kinetix front camber arms for 2 years without a single issue. The alignment is forever (until you change it).

Default Need some help DFW guys with my limp mode Z

p0550, p2122, p2138, p1229 Those are the main 4 codes it also has a evap code but thats the least of my worries right now lol. This is a 2003 6 speed touring. I can make it to work fine in the morning about a 5 mile drive. On my way home it normally messes up and hits limp as i exit the off ramp and come to the light. I have been as far as a 12 mile staright shot as long as im on the highway it is fine but as soon as i start to stop and go it will go into limp mode. i have a brand new pedal and sensor assembly on it. i have tried 2 throttle bodys. The kicker is it seems to do it when its hot or at operating temp. I can check volts when its cold at the pedal sensor and its around 5 volts as its suppose to be. Once its hot and in limp mode the volts drop to around 1 volt. Im sure this is the cause, but what is getting hot and causing me to loose power supply? The car also has a evap code but i dont think that is the cause for limp mode, i will tackle that later on. I have to limp the car home from work when i exit as i stated but after it sets a few hours its ok for a few miles around the block. Once its hot the codes come right back as soon as i reset them and start the car. i have done all the relearns as well. I have a friend at nissan but he has not helped much besides giving me the trouble shoot tips.

I think we are gonna be running at TMS with the BMW group for an AutoX.

What group is running at the MSR ? I hope you lens is over 300mm 'cause your pretty far back from the viewing fence.

Skeeter, I'm a big DIY guy and always try to fix problems on my own. However, it looks like you need a more detailed professional diagnosis. Your friend at Nissan just give you the codes? AutoZone can do that. I think you need the Z hooked up to a real computer to check it all out and pinpoint everything. Then you will know what to replace.

I know it's easier said than done, but that's the route I would take with so many codes popping up.

What color or finish did you get ? I noticed they offered about 3 types but Jon said he only saw one choice.

I've looked at the MB Drifter a few times before and if I recall correctly they are a closeout wheel. Limited sizes and finishes, but luckily good for the Z.

Correct they only had 18s, 19s and 20s I think and for the 18s they only had the size I got. Chris they only have the silver in stock since they are a closeout item. I guess maybe they are going to discontinue them or there purging their old inventory.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that they are discontinuing them. I found the weights on them somewhere and they are actually not too heavy. Better wheel for the money versus something like XXR or other cheap wheels. Great size and offset for the Z as well.

On another note, my Xbox just died.
