Went to Cars & Coffee, Ended Up on a Flatbed

ZForce

Sux Christian, had this random electrical freakout before, it did not die like yours but did idle high and ran rough, threw several codes, cannot remember which ones. Its posted on the forum here somewhere. Turned out one of the many grounds was shorted or in a better word rusted. Just my 2 cents, glad it's under warranty and the dealer will probably call tech support at NNA for solutions. g/l on fix.

Well that was a good thing for me until the dealer told me he didn't know what that code was at all... Then they said it was a PCM issue and that my GTR start button could be causing problems. LOL.

It's always good it's still having the problem! Seems like it's a rule that when you have a problem, the problem never shows itself when you are trying to diagnose haha.

I know right! It took me two seconds on google to figure that one out. Also, I found a ton of Nissan cars in the last ten years that have had recalls or TSBs out for that exact code.

50 miles ago at the same dealer.

Nope, water hasn't touched the engine bay in months.

Here is what nissan says it might be effecting the listed models according to a service bulletin, your dealer should teach their technicians how to use the internet.

Haha, yep! If you read the comments on that link or other TSB sites, most people say stuff like "after I had my oil change" or "after I had my battery replaced". Ever since I had my oil changed, I had a clutch issue and now the car died on the freeway. I've never had a problem before then.

I used to have an OBD2 scanner but sold it after I got rid of my last car, that's a good idea! They know about my mods, and know how well I take care of my car which is why they said it would be warrantied. I laughed so hard when they blamed the start button, I told them it is identical to the stock button minus the red and the 370Z start button is used in the Altima too.

Trying to clear the engine codes is not going to void a waranty, you can simply write down the codes, clear them, if there is a damaged or faulty part the error code will resurface on their own.

Then you can take it in for waranty repair, if the problem persists.

christian370z

Thing is it's already at Nissan, they read the codes. :/

I still say bring a 5 gallon jug, fill it up first before you try anything.

Of course Nissan techs are probably too retarded to do stupid things like that. They will tell you it is normal and avoid to pay for any work

christian370z

Actually you make a great point cossie, just before the car cut out I had just about a 1/4 or less a tank of gas and made a longish hard right turn on an on ramp before it cut out a few seconds later. Could it be fuel starvation? Would fuel starvation cause the starting issues and the multiple codes?

yup exactly what happened to me. The car didnt cut out in mid corner. It cut out after i gunned it off the corner when the reserve fuel from the fuel pump went dry. All your gas is now on the driver's side and the pump can't pick up anything. I never check for codes, but the dealer claimed I had over 1000+ codes on my computer and they said it must have been caused by my trailer hitch wiring and refused to work on it.

Please try to bring a 5 gallon tank, fill it up, start the car and tell those mofo they are idiots and Nissan sucks.

Oh yeah, I towed my car straight to the gas station 2 miles down the road. We filled it up before we lowered it. Of course as soon as I got gas in there, the car started right up
