I've not driven any other 300zx other than my own, and have not been impressed with its get up and go, other than when I test drove it when it was running great. The day after I bought it, it broke down, and I've been chasing gremlins ever since trying to to get it to run well. Seemed to keep running rich.

Today I finally got around to cleaning the MAF. WOW.. what a difference.

I noticed it seemed to be running smoother as I pulled out of the driveway. Got to the end of the street and decided to punch it to see if I could burn the tires and about put it in the ditch! Now when I'm going down the road doing about 30 I can punch it and feel my self getting pushed back into the seat.

Night and day difference.

It is running much smoother too, and I bet the MPG will go up a few ticks too (well if I quit punching it at every stop! :chuckle: ).

So I now officially love my car again - it has been a love hate kind of relationship so far. And this is on a day when I had to get her towed home because the anti theft went nuts and decided I was trying to steal my own car (drivers side door lock is messing up.. but that's a different story.)

And I bet she will run even better when I get those front tires swapped around right. :werd:
