report every problem to the NTSB no matter how small even if the the dealer fixes it with a smile.they keep records and can see a developing trend for a recall if needed.

PM me to provide you with some emails address that can get your case rolling for the best.

Also check the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which is somewhere in this forum.

What is limp mode then? Anyways I just filled my tank yesterday... when it happened it was 2 dots on the indicator to full.. i sent my Z to the dealer today... hope to get some answers some time this week... Hopefully its nothing serious....

NTSB? where is that? the dealer?

Let's not forget the OP is in Canada, so if it is being serviced at a Canadian Dealership their laws may or may not require the dealership to prove anything like the ones in the states are supposed to (though they rarely do).

The misfire code is P0300 and is common. If this is the code, its not a big deal.....it can damage your cats.....but nothing else. It will also make it hard to pass emissions....if you have emissions in your area.

I dont have cats......so no worries for me.

Want a cheap code tool? Go to obdcom.com and you can get a laptop OBD2 code program and kit. It will read the code and clear it. $87

National Transportation Safety Board. The dealer would be the Small-town Transportation-we-don't-care-about-Safety bunch of Bored liars.

Sorry, that's all I got.

My Z has just came out from the dealer and found out a DTC code out of their system.. they said its something to do with the transmission sensor.. they explained further that if there's an unusual activity detected by the sensor it might shut the engine down or maybe they said because of a miss gear??...

So i assume that the immediate engine shut down of my Z may be caused by the action of putting the gear from D to N at high speed.... i dunno... just assuming tho... what do u guys think? Sensible answer?

Automatic gear boxes don't usually like to be run in neutral at high speed, not sure if it would dislike it enough to shut the engine down, seems unusual.
