was out on short run today and luckily was just going round a roundabout not very fast but engine just stalled, lost power steering etc, tried to start it again and didnt want any of it.

 

after a few minutes it started again so managed to get into nearby carpark. then completely stalled again and wouldnt start. again tried few times and then it started and drove a few times round carpark before cutting out again, by then rescue services turned up, looked at it blankly and carried it home.

 

dont want to risk it packing up on the way to getting it looked at properly, also started up fine as soon as i got it home, anyone had similar problems or know what i can check easily??

 

cheers

I had something similar on a car I used to own (not a 300zx) and it turned out to be the fuel pump (it was on it's way out and then died - required replacement). There were a bunch of tests which the AA guy did before he found this out, but I haven't a clue what they were.

 

Maybe someone on here will be able to tell you what tests to run to check the fuel pump.

i reckon if you do a search for PTU it might bring back some results with faults that fit your description

I agree with Scoops, first thought is PTU.
