You probably shouldn't be driving. My normal sequence when I get into my car is buckle, start, turn off VDC, turn on cruise.

Big thanks to m4a1mustang who advised me to clean the MAF with CRC MAF cleaner. I did that and replaced air filters-pretty dirty after 11 months and some leaves and debris in the boxes. My Z is running like new again.

Glad that you sorted it out!

Any fixes yet, m4a1?
I will take a look at air filters / MAF's later today...

Other than making sure you filters are clean and unobstructed and your MAF sensors are clean, not really. There is an inherent lack of low-end torque in this car, so it will be a little lethargic under 4k (and especially under 3k) regardless of what we do.

Cleaning my MAF, which I had not done for 23,000 miles

, definitely helped in my case.

The biggest thing with this car is that if you want to go, you need to plan ahead. Keep the revs up so you're in the power band, otherwise the car will likely fall flat on it's face. The VHR is quite the dog in the low revs!

Alright, gonna clean today then! I have 25k+ miles, haven't cleaned them. I keep up on the air filters though.

I'm sure you know the drill about handling the sensors, but I'll mention it anyways... don't touch the sensor with ANYTHING! Make sure you unplug it before you spray them, too.
