car dies after turn on
 
Hi guys so today I was going to work, my car was in the garage I started the car but it would completely start you can hear the sparks igniting but car would have problems. I turned off the car and started it again this time it took awhile for it to start but it worked. I pulled out of my drive way and suddenly the idle went below 1k rpm an stalled. I tried turning on the car and it was struggling I couldn't drive it the whole day. The car is 2011 370z base sports package no mods besides suspensions can someone please help me?

sounds like maybe fuel starvation?

Maybe a crankshaft position sensor? I hear thats a popular one now a days.

Take it to the dealer.

I would make sure it has gas, and if thats ok I'd would reset the ecu by disconnecting the bat for a few minutes
If it still doesn't correct it? Like it was suggested I take it to the dealer for a real diagnosis. No Mods No Problem

good luck

I went through the same problem except mine started while driving on the highway. (25k miles) The engine stalled out and then when I tried to restart it, it would start and run very rough then stall out. I had it towed to the dealer and they tried to start it the next day and had the same problem. The following day the head technician came in and went to start it and the car started fine. They test drove it and it never duplicated the problem. They thought it was the crankshaft position sensor when I initially brought it in but there was no codes. I also had the dreaded clank from the drivetrain in first gear which they repaired under warranty while the car was in. All in all I had to pay for just the tow. Good luck with your problem and please post once you have a resolution because I am worried that the problem will come back the car will no longer be under warranty.
