robman23 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi, firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section!!! I need some help, long story short but I've recently acquired a 350z that has been sat for a long time (approx 12 months). It's off to Horsham Dev in a week for a complete service and overhaul but I had to move it from its previous storage location. Only about 500 metres or so but I decided to fire it up. I checked the oil first which seemed quite lightly coloured still and was plenty in there, also put some fuel in and a new battery. To my surprise it started up no problems at all, little bit of smoke and then it was fine. Ticked over nicely, sounded good and for the very short move it seemed spot on. So I was very happy. The next day I thought I'd fire it up again as to be honest thought it would do it some good, but unfortunately this time around the engine light came on and it's idle is all over the place, goes high, then low, nearly stalls. Just all over the place. I turned it off, left it for a bit and then tried again but still the same. I've left in since then but I was just wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this. Should I be worried?? I'm already spending a lot at Horsham so could do without an even bigger bill lol Any insight in this would be greatly appreciated.

Jay84 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If the engine light is on there will be a code to check against. If you have a code reader it will shed some light on it. If you don't, Google the pedal dance, and you can get the code that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 What Jay has said. ^^^^ Plug in your code reader to the OBD 2 port and pull the fault codes. Then post the codes up here for a diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robman23 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Ok thanks for the replies, I'll plug in the code reader tomorrow if I get chance and post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robman23 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well..... Plugged in my OBD reader and it won't connect to the ECU. I'll just give up now and wait until Horsham get there hands on it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Try the pedal dance to read the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
