hey everyone, hows it going?
so ive been having this problem with my z right after i installed my ac belt. Every now and then when i rev the z to high rpm's it shuts right off. Then wont start back up again for about a day. once it starts back up it hesitates to start but it does then it runs fine. im about ready to put it on the road but i dont want it to shut off while im driving it. I think it might be the ptu but im not sure if i have the new style one or the old style one. i think i have the new style. if its not that, what else could be the problem? i dont have a scanner to check it. Any other way to figure it out? thanks for the help.

Make sure you didn't mess with the wiring to the CTS or CAS, its the loom that goes to the passenger side of the timing cover. Make sure all the connectors are nice and tight.

that was it!! it was the CAS wire. it was loose so i put it back in and now hopefully nothing else will go wrong. thanks for the help.

btw is there a diagram for the CAS? any specs i should know about it?
