Few problems

Hey, new to the forums got my 1st 300zx about a month ago. I dont know to much about them here are the problems

It will not always hold idle 100% right

It will not idle properly at all when moving (when i press the clutch in or switch to neutral when rolling).. its stalled out on me before a few times.. almost crashed because of it lol

Right now its running really sluggish its a 93' N/A with a few mods.. exhaust, intake, headers.. just the little stuff and it has real slow accerlation it took a little over 10 seconds for a 0-60 with a good run.

Just wondering if any might have an answer cause im not to good with engines yet.. im learning though -Thanks alot.

How do you almost crash from a stall? It's not like your brakes don't work, and all you have to do is put it back into gear to start the car again...

I digress.

Your stalling is likely from of your intake being improperly installed and the MAF suffering from turbulence as a result. Read:

Regarding other problems, search... because idle issues have been a hot topic of discussion lately.

That doesn't make sense.. the only way the steering wheel locks is if the key is removed...

2nd.

With the power steering off, it'll make the steering heavy... but I used to daily drive a Z32 with no power steering, so it's not unmanageable.
