    Default 300ZX Guys, need some help

    This car is turning out to be my worst nightmare. After i get the car back from having the ENTIRE cooling system replaced, Im driving home, and as i get into the throttle, it starts sputtering around 4k, then the speedo gauge drops to 0, and eventually stalls out. What gives?

    A new 300zx owner, eh? Well, in behalf of the Z nation, welcome to hell. We hope you enjoy all the troubles that the mighty Fairlady will bring upon you. Hah, but to answer your question. I would call Z1 and explain your situation and see what they recommend. Like always, I'm pretty sure it's just some hose(inside joke, you probably won't understand it) that the shop forgot to connect or something along those lines.

    Thank you for the warm welcome kind sir. I spoke with Z one this afternoon, apparently they dont want to make any money. I explained to the tech my situation and he told me it MIGHT be the MAF but he didnt know for sure. I asked if i could take it down ther to diagnose it and he said he wasnt taking in anymore work today! So Im gonna do like Krappy said and check the MAF sensor and replace it.....

    NE one gotta MAF i can have?

    200 used? Autozone says 150 new. I figured it out tho. the connectors are just a little corroded. gonna put some soda water and a brush to em tomorrow followed by some di-electric connector protector. should clean the problem up

    Dont buy one from autozone, you want a oem maf. Try to find someone with a Z and just swap them to see if that fixes it, before you buy one
