alanh24 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Had my Z for 11 years now and totally love it but the past 18 months or so it's been playing up to the point I don't trust it anymore. When going slowing down or sitting in traffic/at a junction it will suddenly just die on me. If I switch off the ignition and refire the engine it will start after a few seconds turnover and be fine but afterwards, I get a smell of petrol in the car. Any ideas or any 350Z mechanics in the Guildford area who can take a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntelopeSam Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Don't know about any Zed specific reasons this would be happening but had this happen on a few different cars/bikes. First place I'd look is the coils/plugs! What is it like when you put a lot of load on the motor? Accelerating up a hill for example? I'd also have a look at cleaning your airflow sensor. When was the last time the air filter was changed? If none of this works at least it will act as a "bump"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I had a similar issue (G35), no EML for ages, eventually it came it and it was the camshaft position sensor On my zed the same sensor went and symptoms were a bit different. It would lose power for a split second then drive fine, but didn’t cut out. EML came on immediately Zed was manual, G is auto. Not sure if that’s where the difference lies?
