Stalling On Start up

10'350z · 10-24-2014, 09:08 PM

Hey guys

quick question, on cold start up. my Z when it turns over it'll fire up, with revs going to whatever they do, as the revs decline to idle, it'll stall. i can start it 2-3-4 times and it'll stall only once and a while. if i fire it up and give it a shot of gas it'll be fine..... any ideas?. i was going to start with a fuel filter and see how it goes, no codes no engine light.. dealer says spend 200 bucks on a tune up... no thanks

i'm not sure where the fuel filter is in a 350Z but on the 370Z it's together with the fuel pump inside the tank - meant to be a lifetime filter.

i'd start with cleaning the throttle bodies

U need to clean ur throttle bodies they have lots of gunk on the walls, because of that it restricts air going in just for idle causing ur engine to stall theres a DIY here on this site on how to do it, if u think its too much 4 u, take it to a shop.

P.S. if it still wont work the next thing is ur fuel pump might be going, some members have experienced that too. Gl
