It was our friend
He does great work and I will continue to use and refer him, he has done this install and so many other installs before so I doubt it was something he did.

Its just we installed the alarm and changed out the stereo at the same time. He was doing the alarm and Tommy and I were doing the stereo so something between those two caused this to happen.

I don’t think it is anything big just something small, we just didn’t have anything to read the codes to even know where to start.

But all is good now that we have the reader – Thanks Jake

this might be a coincidence but yesterday we had an alarm installed on kristi's car. Everything was fine until we were about to leave. The Service Engine Soon, TCS OFF, and SLIP lights are all on and you can floor the gas pedal and the car will barely go.

When you start the car the rpms drops and the car dies or rpm drops and it has a rough recovery to idle or you give it a little gas when starting and it will idle

I have pulled the battery for 6 hours and tried again and the lights are still there. I even tried the manual ECU reset by turning key on and hitting gas pedal but nothing.

ANYONE?? I have not pulled codes yet.
I got the both symptoms before, for the first, I had to get Bank 1 of my camshaft position sensor, cost about 150 from Courtesy Nissan.

I was driving on the highway and when I clutched in to change gears, the rpm dropped and I stalled out, took forever to get it started again but once it did, it would spaz out and go in and out of limp mode, all the lights were on too. Early Zs are known to have this problem, check if you are still able to get it serviced at a Nissan dealership, there was a TSB released for it.

For the second symptom, when I got my car back from Sterling, I had the issue of where my car would die after starting it up. Only happened when the car was warmed up. If it was a cold start, it would start up fine. It would start up fine too if I blip the throttle a little bit. I have unhooked the battery and swapped out the MAF sensor. Turns out Sterling have unhooked the battery for quite some time and I had to do the procedure of relearning the idle. If you do a quick google search, you should be able to find the procedure.

It will hit 400whp on mustang dyno or close to it. But i will say weaksauce tuner...I really want him to go with osiris...but we will see how it turn out. There is no need wire, expect gauges.
