After a long drive on Saturday my rev limiter came on at 2500 rpm while driving through town. This would happen in all gears and even in neutral. It went away after recycling the ignition, only to return after another 100 miles. Took it to the dealer and he said it was a "fail-safe" feature of the ECU. Turned out to be a faulty mass airflow sensor. Nissan will replace it under warranty with no question even though I have a CAI installed.
I also had them check out the front tires for the "feathering". They are getting me two new front tires with no questions or hesitation on their part. The car is a 2004 Roadster with 6300 miles on. If there are any questions about the feathering issue on '04's, this should answer those concerns.
I was pleasantly surprised with my dealers response. They did all the right things. It's really great when people do what's right.
Now all I need is the air sensor. The dealer had to order one. He said that they never fail therefore they are not a stock item. I just hope they aren't on backorder. Oh well, that will give them plenty of time to do an alignment and get the new tires just right.
Same thing used to happen to people on b15sentra.net. As i recall the MAF's are pretty expensive, i think around $500 for an 03 spec-v, so be prepared.
On a side note, does anyone know the manual way to get the ECU to flash codes on the Z? I know on my sentra it was a sequence of tapping the gas pedal with the key turned to ACC.
Thanks, I have a sensor as well but I am letting them get me one under warranty. In fact, the sensor has already been installed. They are just waiting for the tires. Should have the car back tomorrow. Thanks for the help, in any case.

I have a 2003 350z with 128k miles. Every time I start it up the red oil pressure lights comes on for about 3 seconds and then completely goes away. The light comes on regardless if the car is warm or cold but goes away and never comes on when driving. I have checked the oil pressure with a...
It's been months and I haven't been able to solve this problem yet. I think the steering in my car suddenly got a lot heavier than it used to be, especially when driving slow and trying to park and stuff. It is mainly an issue under 10mph. Seems like it takes way more effort than it used to, to...
Sometimes it is simply so dang difficult to get a straight answer. I need to replace some weatherstripping and need to verify the names etc. since evidently they are gold plated and diamond encrusted if I look at the prices .. in any case .. is this two different pieces of rubber? (appears to be...
I’ve got a 2003 350, that of course has leaky valve covers. I bought new ones to go ahead and replace them and decided it would be a good time to do a good cleaning of the lower plenum and intake manifold seeing as they had a good coating of oily build up. The fuel rails were being a bit...
