Purged about 1qt. of fuel from top side & no signs of trash/water/ethanol/etc...
hooked everything back up & ran great,,,it did not throw a cel & i do not have a fuel pressure gauge or UpRev cable to ck. data while it was glitching...i just have a basic Snapon/Bluepoint code reader,,,nothing fancy.
Hopefully can make the next one.

Am I correct that you're running 93 octane? If so, you might want to up to premium 97... I've had several Z's they don't like regular or low octane in my experience! Sputtering is a good indication. Just saying
