Wow this happened to me today! I took a right hander leaving the gate pretty quick with a 1/4 tank + 1 dot and sputter, sputter, pushed in clutch, still sputtered, pulled over to the shoulder, turned it off and she didn't want to back at all. If she did start it felt like I was muscle car with the body flexing to the movement of the engine.
Anyways, got the ride flat bed towed to Nissan they go to take it off the truck and magically the car starts. Of course, this is after I get into it with the Service Rep because they can't find me or my car in the system and they have to confirm with Nissan America that this isn't a salvage or rebuilt car. (It's not...I bought the car straight from Nissan)
Well, this never happened during Auto-X. I guess keeping more than half a tank during the runs prevented this.
