decreased power loss of power

simota1 · 02-25-2011, 07:21 PM

i had the scariest scenario just happen to me like 20 mins ago..... i was driving the z regularly just around 45mph when all of a sudden all the power cut off the car went to a immediate deceleration and i found myself only going like 10mph i was freaking the **** out

not to mention a car almost slammed into me from the rear because this was happening?!? i press on the gas and its bogging as in its not moving..... lucky thing this happened right in front of nissan so i made a u turn and pulled in....

has this happened to anyone...??!?! i didnt do anything to the car electronic wise.... and all i did was remove the front bumper to install my front amuse bumper?!?

I guess the Amuse creates to much downforce.

That is odd. Would you say it went into limp mode? Good thing you where right there at Nissan.

What did Nissan find out?

That happened a few times on my accord. Faulty ignition switch.

red6spd · 02-25-2011, 07:48 PM

Hmm weird. Let us know what Nissan says.

idk yet.... its still at nissan

sucks she was even on her way to my friends body shop to complete the amuse install and paint..... idk if it went limp mode.... but i immediately checked my oil temp and they were at 140 degress only not even at its usual 180-190 degrees she usually runs on i hope this isnt a common problem on the z's..... because it literally scares the **** outa you..... if the guy behind me wasnt far.... then he woulda crashed into me.... from how fast i was going and then immidiately went into 10mph it was like someone slammed the brakes for me.... ill keep everyone posted...

Damn bro keep us posted, i'm sure it'll be something small. When i got my '00 dakota new i had it for 3 days and it leaked trans fluid all over the driveway. The guys at work ragged the S out of me FOREVER it was a bent relief tube or something like that. Then about a year or so and 4k miles later i was coming home from work and it just died when i was about half way through the tunnel. A cop was a few cars back so he was AZZ, i mean nice enough to use the metal ram crap on the front of his car to push me the hell out the way. Cause i ws blocking a two lane two way tunnel at five 0'clock, doing 500 bucks worth of damage to my xeon bodykit which i ended up having to pay for. It ended up being a fifty dollar sensor, never had any other problems with the truck i still have it today.

I think your ECU has a glitch it needs a reflash something made the VDC panic and lock all wheels.

hazzazi · 02-26-2011, 12:37 AM

hey, this scenario have happened to me before... but i was speeding up a ramp, and sucked in a plastic bag and it was stuck in the intake. it caused my car to do exactly what u said, power cut off, and decreased to around 10-15MPH (even if i press the gas nothing happened)... check ur intakes, maybe something came loos.

ProfessorDave · 02-26-2011, 08:26 AM

Simota1, this is clearly related to your gas gauge overlay!

Just trying to cheer you up.

That sounds like a pretty scary thing to happen. I hope they find the problem. Interested in what they find.

partsguy · 02-26-2011, 08:50 AM

How much gas did you have in the tank. ...fuel starvation issue (?)... with the car going into limp home mode (?)

what i think could have happened is that my intake "air ducting" was still connected but i wrapped the hoses in a circle in the reinforcment bar maybe i chocked out the intakes idk? wat ever it is ill keep you guys posted..... nissan will have my car till monday cause today is a sunday now

no amusing news till monday.... but once i get my car back itll go straight to the body shop....
