To start things off, I changed my oil on Saturday with the same weight oil I always use 20w50. I have changed my oil religiously about every 3K miles my self for the past 6 yrs I've owned my Z. So that means I've done this a few dozen times. Just wanted to put that out there to weed out the "did you do it right" answers. The first time driving after the oil change was right around the corner so like a 5 minute drive to a friend's house. I had to go back to my house and when I got back I turned it off, went inside for like 5 minutes. Came back outside to restart. When I turned the key the car started but the RPM's shot up to around 2K then dropped off and the car almost shut off but managed to flutter up to a constant idle. The car now idles high around 1100. I have found the car starts fine when cold but after it's warm and does the thing where it revs to 2K and almost shuts off. I've also notice when it's warm, whenever I press the throttle, the rpm's drop and then will rev up depending on how much gas I give it. I took a video of it so you can see what I mean. Sorry, I don't remember how to do the La-z-link, so copy/paste. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H41oyu5sXg ] I have yet to pull codes because I just haven't had the time to do it. Off the top of your collective heads', what could possibly be causing this from an oil change? Also a couple of side notes: I've already orderded both temp. sensor & sending unit sensor just because the gauge isn't reading right sometimes. Another note, I've been having a problem with when the car is cold it shifts perfectly. After about 1 run through the gears at normal non- aggresive driving, whenever I shift, it's almost as if the car stalls briefly then catches and starts going again. If I shift gears and stomp on the gas, it's boggs down really bad. I don't know if all of these are related or separate problems but I wanted to mention it to give as much info as possible. As always, thanks for any and all of your help!
