Either you have a loose connection on the Z Dir wiring or you have the Z Dir assigned incorrectly.

Z dir is ok. I tried reinstalling Mach3 and it worked fine.

Thanks anyway.

im having a similar problem

im using a bunch of cnc4pc boards with all rj45 connections

X and Y were giving similar problems and i messed around with the cables and fixed them

i got z to go  + and - at some point but it wont do it consistently

i made 3 or 4 new cables and im still having the problem
yet X and Y are still fine
