Do you happen to know what your oil level was at the time, this can happen when the engine gets low on oil.

You know what.....Now that you said that, and I forgot to mention this, I noticed that the number on the oil pressure gauge was very low, between 140 and 180. I probably only went about 3 or 4 miles when this happened and I just assumed that the low reading was just because the car was not fully warmed up. Could there be a connection? But why wouldn't the oil light come on?

Sorry...I meant the oil temp gauge.

Also could be a bad MAF....when they are dirty or bad they cause no power issues like that.

What is MAF?

You have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?

I though we only had an oil temp gauge.

Nissan scares me, I know Toyota has had a ton of recalls but fuel starvation out of nowhere with actual gas in your tank is a huge problem.

Johnsz, my z has had a similar issue well maybe just the service engine light coming on and staying on. in the last month mine would idle so low almost stalling while sitting at a light. the strangest thing...ignored it. but then just sunday the service engine light came on and has been on three days. I took it to Tampa yesterday and just got back today. The light is still om, I really thought it would go away. so i have an appointment with Nissan in the morning. i hope they don't try to screw me because of my intake and exhaust.

Here's a pic I took as I watched them stare at the car for hours...

It can be fixed, but it aint that cheap.

I had my MAF replaced after it's failure and I never had OP's symptoms. I had CEL's, not manifested problems. But they do fail and I hope this simple replacement works, but it is approximately $500.

More good luck.
