Im a noob when it comes to my z as it is my first one and I havent owned it long. So i drove my car for the first time in around 5 month. As soon as I accelerated the car would be boggy and not want to accelerate at all past 3000rpm and throughout all gears. I discovered yesterday aswell that i have a leaking clutch slave cylinder. As of now my car is parked but i was wondering if you guys had any information on this problem or even if it could be caused by the leaking clutch. Also the car did not do this before parked for winter.

I would greatly appreciate any input

First thing is to check for codes in the ECU, don't just rely on on the CEL light on the gauge cluster. It could be a few things though, fuel pressure, MAF sensor, O2 sensors, Injectors, timing and I believe a few other things. Check for green corrosion in the connectrors of everything, that also cause a ton of issues.

MAF wont allow it past 3k rpms if not corrected properly, check the connection and wiring. hope it helps.
