Update us what causes your Z to do that. Definitely not the K&N, I was thinking your MAF sensor must not be working well.

Man my car its a 2013 and i buy it from new im the first owner soo i know everything about him... Anyway I think the same bro!! i can believe the problem was the K&N Drop Ins filters... maybe is bad MAF sensors or something bad with the ECU cause if i disconnect the battery and connect the battery again the car run perfect with no issues but then the problem still come....

i keep you guys updated with this...

Yes bro i buy the recharge kit like the person in services tell me... i give a good cleaning to those filters an oiled again fallow all the steps that appears on the instructions...

Good luck Carlitos! Keep us posted!

Thanks for the mental support guys i really appreciated

im still waiting for the dealer call to see what is the new story behind this problem.... maybe they are going to tell me now that the problem is the HPS Post Maf Tubes

but trust me if i remove the post maf tubes and the problem comes again im going to buy $5.00 on gas and a box of matches and im going to start a fire on the dealer with my car there

I still think a good MAF cleaning then ecu reset will help. Don't start thinking like the way I do about my beater DD! I just sunk the last $400 into it, no more. If something else starts to go out, the bastard is getting dual stage 300 hit of naaawwwwwwzzzzz till something explodes

sorry to hear about the hassles, carlitos. but this started after installing the hps post-maf tubes and k&n drop ins, correct?

as others mentioned, it could be the maf sensors are dirty. ive not had issues on my cars (like *many* cars using kn drop ins
and cones) but they are notorious for causing oil to get onto the sensor.

as for the post-maf... im not sure. mine works fine and have been running it
for like 3yrs now with no issue.

maybe your hose is loose or
elbow cracked or something as seen on those stillen gen3 intakes...?
