For whatever reason, Z started sputtering on hard acceleration Friday afternoon...was 1/2 the way into a tank of fuel from my normal vendor (e-free93).
So spent most of yesterday going over all connection's;Top & bottom.
Purged about 1qt. of fuel from top side & no signs of trash/water/ethanol/etc...
hooked everything back up & ran great,,,it did not throw a cel & i do not have a fuel pressure gauge or UpRev cable to ck. data while it was glitching...i just have a basic Snapon/Bluepoint code reader,,,nothing fancy.
Hopefully can make the next one.

I hope it all works out!

I saw a nice gunmetal Z by Harbison last night broken down near I26! Anyone on here?

I bought a little OBD2 scanner on Amazon last year that works great and has several displays that you can set up to how you want it. $50 was worth it to me. Good luck!

Am I correct that you're running 93 octane? If so, you might want to up to premium 97... I've had several Z's they don't like regular or low octane in my experience! Sputtering is a good indication. Just saying
