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.

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.

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.
