My 92 300zx seems to have an intermittent problem with sputtering. At first it only happened in the rain when i was driving 45+ mph. I drove it in the rain one day and i guess i drove through a puddle that was about 4in deep, but i was driving very slow, and it actually sputtered and died. the electrical system is working fine. we took a look and saw that my air intake filter had fallen off and put it back on. the car ran fine after that, but after a few days started having the same sputtering issue. the engine also smelled like someone was barbecuing. i haven't had it checked, but i think my fuel pressure is fine, when i take the cap off there is a hissing sound as if it is very pressurized. before i started having this issue the engine smelled like gas a little, i am not sure if that is related. i have been told to check the maf. it seems to have more issue when i accelerate than under idle. is there anything else i should be checking?
