I drive an 2005 Automatic 350z. A few days ago, i really pushed the car accelerating rather quickly. When i came up to the red light and began to stop, the car stalled out. I edged over to the side of the road, threw it in neutral, and turned the key and it started right back up. A few miles down the road i was at a red light and the rpm's dropped very low and the engine started shuddering. After a few seconds, it revved back up. It did this 3 times while waiting at the light. (This is the first time i have had the stall issue but the second time i have had the shuddering engine issue.) I went to Autozone and they ran the codes and it came back with nothing. Now they and a few other people have given me "ideas" of what it could be with no guarantee or no test to check for it. Some of the possible ideas were: bad alternator, bad vacuum, bad TPS, dirty or faulty fuel pump, rusted out catalytic converters, blown out spark plug, and bad battery. The battery was checked and shows that it is good. I doubt it is the alternator cause my voltage is staying consistent. Anybody have any idea of what it probably is?
Sidenote: the vehicle was originally from Florida and the Catalytic Converters are pretty rusted on the outside. Planning on replacing the whole exhaust with a Concept Z Performance system within the month.
