370Z AT 2012 weird behavior

/Angelo350Z/

This happened to me twice in my three years of ownership. There's actually a thread that discusses this issue, but I don't recall where exactly it is. Anyway, this happened in early 2013, about 2 months after I purchased the Z. I was at a stop light on a service road and was about to turn left on a freeway. It was a bit warm, about 80 degrees, but nothing out of the ordinary for Guam. I've been driving for about 15 minutes and everything was fine, but as soon as the light turned green and I turned left to merge, my car lost power. It didn't hesitate or stall--it simply didn't want to accelerate. No warning lights, no unusual sounds; the car just didn't want to rev past 2K or 3K RPMs. I was confused and more than a little upset over the "limp mode" characteristic my brand new car was exhibiting at the time, but I drove it for another 10 minutes to my destination. I did what I had to to in the shop for 20 minutes, and by the time I jumped in my car, everything was back to normal. My car didn't overheat, so I still don't know what happened.
