Since this car has no inline fuel filter, it is imperative that things are kept clean. I use the small bottle of Lucas Fuel injector cleaner with every tank and I put a can of seafoam in the gas once a month. Some will call this 'overkill', but I've done it on all cars that have no inline fuel filter and it works. No hesitation, good fuel economy through 150k miles (not that fuel economy is an issue for most Z owners). My last car was a 2004 Malibu with a V6, and when I traded it in with 150k on the clock, it still got 36 mpg on the highway....

FWIW...:tiphat:

Again, I am making the suggestion because my buddy, whom you must know well, birdman71, suggested this since his car had a similar issue and got fixed by swapping pulleys.

Would you have a diy for cleaning throttle body? Or would you be able to give me some insight as to how to go about cleaning them? Example, using a brush or using a towel? Is water ok or should I use a special spray/chemical? I'm thinking of doing it soon so it's be big help!

After throttle body and mafs, don't forget to clean the manifold air pressure sensors(MAP). This is a must and only take a good spraying with maf cleaner and then letting it drip all the nasty out and let it dry for a few minutes.

Happened to me today and I got it on video. I tried to upload and I can't do it. A buddy of mine is a service Mgr at Honda and one of his techs workEd at nissan. From the video he said it looks like a definite fuel issue. Possibly a fuel regulator problem. Called nissan and they want me to bring the video in. Hopefully I get can get an answer. Will post feedback when I get back from vacation in a week
