I see you are a new member here, so first of all, glad to have you as a member . If you do a search, you may find a VERY long thread I started a couple of years ago, it was a super hard to find issue that sounds like what your are experiencing but I had a Tech1 and TunerCat for data recording. So yadda, yadda, yadda, check the battery cables AND the post connectors first. If you are not 100% sure of your battery's age and condition , have it checked, it needs to be absolutely needs to pass the test without it being just in the "good" range but in the fully ready condition with the proper CCA's, and if your rule out those, and I mean a very thorough check of those items, then, with a fully charged battery, UNPLUG the alternator after it has sat without being key on (an absolutely necessity that it sits for over 12 hours without key being cycled, with the alternator being unplugged, see if you can replicate the dying issue when first started, if you can't duplicate it with alternator unplugged, it is your alternator or (in my case) the alternator pigtail, even it it looks perfect, that was my problem after weeks of diagnostics, data recording and a 6 plus page thread here on the forum. Hope it helps.

Good lead, I will take a look through that thread. Still need to get a hold of an OBD1 tester for the moment. Between thanksgiving and hunting in NY for a week I haven't done much with the Z.
For particulars in my case the battery is less than 6 months old, and the car is on a battery tender whenever not in use. My alternator died just a month ago and was replaced, this issue occurred both before and after the new alternator. @XfireZ51 No I have not. I'll be getting a bit more into it all here soon. Again I appreciate everybody responding and offering information. - Zach |
