Starts, almost stalls out, then catches

paralegal0907 · 03-26-2016, 11:02 AM

I have a 2010 370Z Roadster, Auto, with 44,000 miles. I have been having a problem with the car almost stalling out, then catching, for almost six months now. It has actually shut off several times. I have taken it to the dealer three times and they can't get it to do it, so they can't fix it. Any suggestions on what I can tell the dealer, other than clean the throttle bodies, they say they are clean? I even wrote to Nissan USA this morning in hopes that they know about the problem and can advise. Thanks, Amy

I'd record it on video to show them

I did, but they said it had to do it for them.

So like this kind of? I'm having the same prob :/. I carry starter fluid because of the same thing. I've noticed when I clean my MAF sensors it reduces the lag and every time I do a retune on the Uprev. So I'm thinking it has to do with the intake system.

Try to reprogram your idle. It's kind of easy to do your self or tell the dealer to do it. It could help at least a little in the mean time. Or get a tune since this could be the fuel air mixture having issues.

Don't you just hate having to prove a problem to the dealer? Also educating them on research you did! Seems to be the normal today

Dirty throttle bodies?

Having this problem too I have a 2010 with 45k miles. I notice if it rev it upon start up it stops the engine from dying.

I have same issue as well, probably for last 2 years, happens couple of times a month, often after I've driven for the first time that day...going only a few miles before stopping, doing some stuff for 5-15 minutes, getting back in and starting...engine doesn't seem to catch enough to stay going. Start it again while giving it some gas pedal right after the start and all is good. I've got a 2010 Touring Auto.

He said it worked for him? Idk

On a car of that age and mileage dirty air filters or a small vacuum leak could be the problem. You might want to check for any pending dtc codes which haven't turned the MIL light on yet. A general going over should turn up the problem but that might be too expensive to have done at a dealer. Let us know what happens and good luck.
