Gas Pedal Delay

Yeah, I'm the Nissan Can't Be Wrong guy I'm also terrified of the fact that you'll never read any of my posts on some message board. How do you expect someone to help you with this NISSAN FLAW? Have you investigated all possible causes? Can you repeat the problem accurately under a given set of conditions? Have you tried modifying those conditions in various unbiased ways to see which of the conditions might be unrelated? Can you accurately describe this repeatable problem in excruciating detail? Does that exactly match up with the symptoms of everyone else you're ganging up with on this issue?

Make an effort to rationally solve the problem instead of jumping on the Nissan Sucks bandwagon without any real cause is all I'm asking. I don't think heat alone is your problem. It's not a big enough factor to describe the catastrophe everyone's describing here. There's some other understandable fault here, one that can be isolated and remedied.

For the most part, this thread is a long list of people who apparently share similar symptoms, at least vaguely similar, and at least as a one-off event. That doesn't make for a shared defect on Nissan's part. Everyone needs to get to the bottom of their problem and see if there's a shared cause. Who knows what you'll find. Perhaps you'll find that 6% of all 370Z owners experience these symptoms, and over 90% of those reports end up having a root cause of a faulty sensor wire that comes loose too easily and screws up the ECU's behavior. Then you could come back and say "Nissan sucks, they can't make good sensor wire connections." Or it could turn out to be more like 2% of all users having this vague symptom, but the causes don't line up. You end up with 10 different causes. One of them's a few fluke sensor wires coming loose, a real defect. One's a dirty MAF sensor. One's a guy didn't realize one of his PCV hoses came loose after installing an aftermarket intake. Another had bad gas, etc. A large chunk of them didn't turn off VDC to test, even if you did.

You can't know until you do the investigation part. What this thread acts like now is more like a mob.
