370z warm start problem

Jerm8664 · 02-19-2017, 08:23 PM

Hey guys new to the forum but I have searched a bit and haven't found much. I have 7at 2014 Z with a AAM CAI and muffler delete. My car has a problem when it warm starts. It starts up fine on a cold start (first start of the day) but when turned off for 30 minutes -1 hour it sounds like it is going to stall (has stalled twice) and sometimes will sputter. What do you guys suggest?

Welcome.

Have you scanned for any codes?

I haven't scanned but I haven't had any CELs come up as of yet.

If I'm not mistaken, you could still have codes despite the lack of a CEL.

Went to the dealership. No codes and they couldn't replicate the problem.

Probably a intake leak. Check your AAM CAI.

I had the same issue you are talking about. I would purchase a fuel pressure gauge from cjm or z1 to see what your fuel pressure is doing. After checking all the above statements, you or a dealership will have to dive into the horrible fuel tank to check lines or filter strainer. Does the fuel pump whine? Could be a bad check valve, fuel pressure regulator, but with your car being A 14' I don't think those parts could go bad so soon, but then again it could.

I had this problem although I was boosted and Uprev tuned and it turned out to be the fuel "trims" needed an adjustment.

Gotcha. I don't think he is tuned.

Clean throttle bodies valves, the gunk has accumulated.

Jerm8664 · 02-23-2017, 10:08 PM

I'm not tuned yet and my throttle bodies are clean. I'll have to check the fuel pressure if it acts up again. The dealer said they adjusted the idle slightly and I haven't had a problem since, but then again I haven't driven it much since then.

Clean filters????? Then nissan needs to get a hold of a log to see where the problem lies...rather than bumping up idle from 600rpm up to 700 rpm
