Another problem with my 370Z

Ok so the dealership finally called me this afternoon. Told me that it was from low octane/bad gas and that they reprogrammed the ecu. I did have a dumb moment

Ok so the dealership finally called me this afternoon. Told me that it was from low octane/bad gas and that they reprogrammed the ecu. I did have a dumb moment and put 1/2 a tank of 87 in the car before I caught myself. I wasn't sure about that but I guess they are the experts. I was not able to get over to pick the car up until after the service department was closed. On the way home the same hesitation/bad idle "magically" reapeared. I feel like I am getting the run around and they just dont feel like dealing with me. I want to go to another dealer, but I understand that sometimes it takes a few times to get things figured out so I may just let the original dealer figure it out. It is just really frustrating. I guess I will give them a call and see what they have to say.

Dude when i just got my 370z from the dealer that cheap bastard put 87 in it and it ran just fine, i didnt put the pedal down cuz it was new but it ran fine after that all i do is put 93 in it runs like a charm so stop being cheap. You have one car that does deserve 93 in it so treat it good my friend and it will treat you back the same way
