Help!: Car went insane...

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I drove my car quite a bit and she was doing fine. Didn't see any problems. Today (its raining like a bitch) I go into my car and I notice the car is kind of losing power off acceleration but I saw the traction light and assumed the car was cutting off power. So I go onto the fwy and I am doing about 60 MPH and when it was about to reach 2500 rpm it the car would jerk back and forth and the rpms would go up and down from like 2300-2500 erratically. (no lights present at this time)

So I pulled of did the quick esu reset with the pedals and the car still had that problem. But this time I had SES light, VDC off light, and Traction Light go off and the car would react pretty bad if I would try to shift into a higher gear.

I have a 2010 g37s 7AT, Current Mods Invidia CBE, Injen CAI, Berk HFC, Betty Grounding kit, Crank pulley.

Have you had the same problem since? I would start narrowing it down by your mods. Remove the grounding kit, see if you have the same problem. Remove the CAI and throw the stock filters back in, and see if you have the same problem.

I'd do that before going to the dealer.

First time I had this problem and I have had mods for over 5k miles threw most of them on within first 1-2 k lol. I did change my oil yesterday but I doubt it could be from that.

Ya I know what you mean, but I don't think they'll hassle you cause non of your mods should mess with the computer. They have to prove that one of the mods caused the problem. And ya cause your username Means vagina stick in Farsi lol

It won't be any of your mods causing this. Take it to autozone or somewhere that will scan for codes for free. It might just not be displaying it. If that fails, then go to the dealer. Definitely sounds like a computer problem though.

A lot of car problems can be traced back to the last person that worked on it. Did you change the oil yourself? I would go over the oil change procedure to see if any wires or hoses may have been accidentally screwed up. I assume your oil level is okay.

I took it to the place that changed my oil last time. Find it hard to believe that an oil change raped my car lol. But it was the only thing done to my car and that was two days ago Friday.

Dude I had the same problem a few weeks back in the morning right after it rained and believe it or not it happened again yesterday morning. I called the dealer yesterday and I am taking it in tomorrow. Now I know I'm not the only person with this problem. The first time it happened to me it scared the **** out of me bro.
