hi there everyone,

 

i am new to the forum and had my 300zx for some 8 months now. it is a 1992 twin turbo t-top:clap:.

 

Unfortunately is not all good news :sad: so in hope of a answer i came to this forum to see if any one could help me.

 

Yesterday i started the car and once the car warmed up a idle the rev drops up and down and up and down vice versa. Now this HAS happened to me before and it goes away it self after a bit.

However now it has gone worse :sad:

 

1. the car actually cuts out straight away and turns off only when the engine is warm. - happens a few times.

 

2. Majority of the times the revs drop so low that its like the engine is cutting out; steering cuts out, and the battery light comes on a few secs later its fine and car starts itself when i let go of the clutch. this happens alot more often than no.1.

 

It is pretty dangerous as it has cut out on me around corners and for 2-3secs have not been able to control/steer/brake the car.

 

so i am out to find solutions/suggestions to my troubled problem and thought this would be the best place.

 

Please any advice would be really appreciated.

 

thank you

Don't retire! ;)

No bit didn't know what you'd be doing lol . Portugal is even further away for me than Birmingham lol

yes, you can't miss it... its the top one...

thanks

hi,

 

great news found the fault :)

it wasnt the problem jeff said it vould be, it was actually that the maf sensor area had some sort of crack. now its all fixed and ready to drive:)

 

atleast all the connections have been given a good look over and clean.

 

thank you for everyone that have taken time out to help.

 

just one question though...what fuse is linked to the auto folding/moving mirrors? any ideas?

 

thanks

I just wanted to say ... Woohoo ... I was so right on my first suggestion :-)

And since I'm on a role. Ill guess at the right fuse being the rear window de-fogger one

Mmm, I would have said it was the #4 fuse (top row) rear window wiper (10 A)... :)

hmm i actrually thought it was the defogger one. but good to see another option :)

will give them a go tomorrow.

just picked my z up from the mechanics....wooohoooo wow! its even faster than before!

what happened was water got in through the cracks. When he used the air pressure pipe near the crack a lot of water came gushing out. now its all sealed and fixed up and faster than ever! :)

Let us know mate

Wohoo!

Nope was none of the ones you suggested for the fuse. Any other ideas? Anything else that could be wrong?

Sorry i know this was a long time ago lol
