Was in me Z yesterday quite wet down here in the south.

I manged to loose grip and the back end of the car kicked out but nothing to serious and held the car and stopped her from skidding and drove on.

 

Now ever since then and may be coincidence the idle when the car started is 1500 to 2000rpm in park and when taken on a 40 min journey and then again placed in park the rpm shots up to 2000rpm.

 

I stopped at a petrol station also and filled up this morning and a orange light flicker very quickly on the right side of the dash dont remember seeing this before when starting again maybe getting paranoid.

 

The car otherwise in drive and reverse is at the normal 1000rpm and seems to be driving fine.

 

Could it have gone in to a saftey mode ie remove battery terminal and re attached then resetting the ecu.

 

Any ideas or help much appreciated.

I would check your TPS connection first just in case it is loose. Unless you hit anything I do not see any reason for it to go into safety mode. Why not do an ECU diagnostic check which would show code 34 if in safety boost. Disconnecting the battery will not reset this, but cleaning connector / checking wiring may give a clue why it has happened. If your knock sensor is faulty then you can fit a resistor (1M) across the terminals of the connector which will then get you back onto full boost.

fixed this issue seems to have been the ts sensor.

Then got another problem seems to be like a london bus you wait for ever then two arrive lol.

the rad hose suddenly spilt lucky i had a spare and replace and all now seems fine.

idol is still a little high but will keep an eye on it it may have been due to not enough water but temp gauge seemed fine to work this morning.

with a 300zx, it's bus after bus after bus :D
