[Gaz b]

hi all

 

im new to this just signed up today so go easy on me please!!

 

need help...ive got a 2003 uk 350z not had it long bought second hand.

was parked up at the lights engine running but no power in the throttle took to a garage was told the throttle sensor was gone thats the code that came up.

ordered the throtlle sensor part of ebay it came the garage fitted it still no joy??

the engine yellow light still on and the traction light as well is on i think and it keeps dropping to below 1000 rpm and the cuts out?

not sure what else to do any ideas or help wouldnt be great?

There was a series off faulty throttle valves you may have bought one. If it's coming up with the same fault you may also have a wiring fault between the sensor and the ECU. Try to find a specialist garage near to you with experience with diagnosis on Nissans.

Odd, mine has just started to throw up the throttle position sensor code.

 

When this happens on yours do you/have you lost all power or does the car go to limp home mode? Mine goes to limp mode but restarting the engine makes it go away (CEL stays on however).

 

May be worth you trying the ECU reset procedure followed by the throttle position re-learn procedure, I need to try that this evening too. Someone mentioned somewhere on the interwebs about 2 throttle sensors, something about on possibly on the pedal somewhere, the other one is definatly in the throttle body.

There is one pedal sensor and two throttle sensors in the throttle body (for valve position feedback to ECU), all have different fault code and can cause the engine go in limp mode.
