Hello all, I'm new on the board, and I got a few questions for you guys. I'm having a few problems with my 99 Z24.

The first one is that when I come to a stop, either just braking or on park, about every 5 seconds, there's like a power loss or something like that. The RPM gauge drops a bit and the lights inside and out get dimmer. Each time it's about for 1 second. And if kept that way for a long time, the light "ETS off" lights up on the dash.

Second problem is that the engine is really starting to take in oil. I change the oil every 5000 km, and last time I checked the oil, it was almost empty, about 4000 km after the change.

Lastly, I changed my original springs and shocks/struts recently for a Tokico Dspec kit. Ever since, when I'm accelerating, I feel the car shaking a bit, but only when accelerating from a stop or from a low speed. And it only seems to be on the first two gears (by the way it's an automatic).

I've had the car for about 3 years now, and it's at about 179 000 kms. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Get your alternator tested and battery and make sure they are putting out the right amps. Advance Auto will do this for Free.

 

Any time you add suspension, you usually have to get it realigned, that's why it so shaky.
