Just got my 08 G37S 6mt (mfr date 2-2008) a month ago. I've got a problem which I thought would go away after putting some mileage on it. Well I've got over 700 miles on it and it seems like the car sputters/bucks at low speed (10 mph up to 25 mph in 1st or 2nd), seems like I need to really give it gas for it to run smoothly. Is this common? B.T.W. no mods yet. Thanks for your feedback,

Larry

 

nope, might want to make a trip to the dealership

 

Do you have it in DS mode? Cause it keeps this gears low and runs high revs in DS mode and has quicker response to the throttle. If not, then I would get it checked out.

 

Check the TSB section.... Might be a known issue if i'm not mistaken...

 

heat he is 6mt....

is this your first 6mt car? maybe your not used to the 6mt throttle response?

 

uhh it says 6MT not 5AT

 

Oh.. Hmm... Might wanna just take it in and have the service tech drive it...

 

oops...my bad.

 

You are not lugging the motor are ya? 10 MPH seems kinda slow for 2nd gear.

Next question; Have you ever driven a stick before? (Probably should'a been the first question.)

 

Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably take it in next week. I thought I would try this forum first to see if this was a common problem or not. This is my 5th manual I've owned. I've seem a similar problem before on a different car, found out it was dirty/clogged fuel injectors. Is it possible fuel delivery system could get fouled while the car was sitting on lot for almost a year?

 

anything is possible with a car sitting outdoors for a year without much moving
