370Z fuel consumption and stalling

My 2012 Nissan 370Z (gasoline engine, 75976 km) is showing some worrying signs. I'm seeing higher fuel consumption, reduced engine power, and the engine stalls at idle. Plus, there's smoke when accelerating. Suspect it's the injection system. Could be a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone else experienced this?

A 2012 Nissan 370Z is experiencing higher fuel consumption, reduced engine power, stalling at idle, and smoke during acceleration. The initial suspicion is a problem with the injection system, possibly due to a defective cable or plug connection. Suggestions include checking the air intake system for blockages and considering fuel contamination. Ultimately, a faulty plug connection was identified and repaired at a workshop.

Hey, I've got a 370Z too, and your symptoms sound familiar. I had similar problems with fuel consumption and stalling. Did you check the air intake system for any blockages? Maybe also see if your petrol isn't contaminated?

Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked the air intake yet, but I will. What exactly was the issue with your 370Z? Was it definitely the injection system, and what fixed it?

Well, I am no expert, but I remember that I also considered checking the fuel injectors. But to be honest, I took it to a workshop because I didn't have the right tools. They fixed it quickly.

Appreciate the insight. I'll check the air intake as a first step, but after that, a workshop looks like the best bet. Just got it back - faulty plug connection, 95€ repair.
