370Z engine trouble, no power, bairly revs

Did you oil your drop in filters lately? The oil on the filters generally makes its way down the intake pipes if they have been over-oiled and can get on

Nope, I've never cleaned/oiled them. Just straight out of the box 10,000 miles or so ago.

Just started the car up (didn't reset the eve or anything) and it ran fine. Accelerated and reved up like nothing ever happened. Seems pretty weird, guess it was a fluke or something.

Go scan for any pending codes before you make that assumption that everything's fine.
