Dblock Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 How do you know it needs cleaned? What code is it displaying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I assume you've had it apart then? What happened the gasket? It's metal so shouldn't fail. Cleaning is easy, get an aerosol of brake cleaner and spray away, most of the gunk should dissolve and drip out, then rest you can wipe away using a clean cloth soaked in the brake cleaner. Some will tell you you avoid moving the butterfly, but it's on a spring and should return to it's position if you do move it. I moved mine quite a bit to clean it the best i could and it never made any difference. Do this with the TB off the car by the way, you don't want gunk getting into the plenum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Nope haven't took it off yet mate I just read there was like a "paper" gasket didn't really make much sense so I thought better ask before intake it apart...., and can't tenner code off top of my head but it was for throttle body controler.... So first thing is to clean it before ordering a new 1 right ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ahh fair enough. Can't remember a paper gasket but it was ages ago I cleaned it. Yes clean it. Then do the tb reset and then the idle air learning thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 There is a gasket can't remember what it's made of but had no problems getting it off in one piece, here's the guide for the resets:- http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53148-how-to-ecu-accelerator-pedal-throttle-valve-resets/page__hl__throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The gasket is a fine tinny metal, just be careful not to crease it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ok cheers lads take it it's quite easy to do , I'm no macanic but looks quite easy , shall I disconnect battery ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmr1980 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If you do clean your throttle body it often may cause idling issues, and needs an ECU interface (via ODB2 port) to get it back to normal - unless there is a different way of doing it (there seems to be what has been posted above). You shouldn't need to disconnect the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't need to disconnect the battery. You can do the reset procedure with the idle air relearn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 You will almost certainly need to do the idle relearn afterwards , you will need to do the "pedal dance" or use "consult" an obd reader wont do it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Pedal dance easy enough I'll just do that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ok. But it's a pretty long procedure and you have to get every step right. Took me about 1 hour once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Took me 5 mins ! Used a stopwatch on my phone it was a doddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Shorly all you do is unplug it, take the pipe off , unbolt it, Norway with brake cleaner wipe it down , put back together ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
