hey

i have recently cleaned my throttle body on my 2001 M35 stagea, and now it wont idle correctly.

i did the relearning and it still hasnt changed.

now what its doing is when i start the car it revs up to 2000 then down to 1500 then back up to 2000 then rests at 1200 and slowly moves down to 800-900, it only does that when it is hot tho, when cold it just revs to 2000 then sits at 1200.

the other problem is when driving arond 60km and i release the accelerator the revs drop down to 600 and the car engine brakes hard then it jumps back up to 1200-1400, its also using more fuel then usual.

does anyone have any clue what is going wrong?

cheers

What was ur purpose for cleaning it? U've probably removed the sealing stuff that seals the butterfly to the throttle body. U can buy the stuff from somewhere, don't know where but. It will have to come back off to apply it

i was doing the rocker cover gasket and spark plugs and noticed it was ugly looking so i sprayed some brake cleaner on a rag and cleaned inside it, after i did it i found a topic saying do not move the butterfly.. :/

do the relearning procedure again, it didnt work the first time. you may need to perform the 2 other steps beforehand. then attempt the throttle re-learn procedure. perform that prodecure when the car is engine warm. ie: operating temperature

Did you actually notice it do the re-learn? Or just think it hasn't worked?

Its quite distinctive - it revs up, drops slowly past 650 to just above a stall then comes up again (you will feel it stutter). You Rev it up to check the reset, and it should idle 650 +- 50 at normal temprature.

I only ask because it is not easy to nail the reset proceedure, and lots of people have trouble with it. It does work though.

ok i did then learning when the car was warm and it didnt nearly stall when i did it however it did return to around 650 and returned there after reving, however once i turned the car off and restarted it, it went back to idle at 900-1000.

hmmm so sounds like a trip to nissan :S

Nobody in Adelaide has a Cipher cable?

If you do need to go to Nissan, just ask them if they could plug in their Consult and hit the throttle learn button. Should take all of 30 seconds from when they plug it in (plugging it in should take all of 20 seconds)... but they will prob try to charge you for an our's work

If your idle does not set between 650-750, the ECU will not learn the new setting.

Another influence on setting the idle correctly can be the PCV valve. This has a hose running from the drivers side bank to the drivers side of the plenum. If you remove the hose from the Plenum and block off the inlet to the plenum you can try to reset the Idle to see if this has any influence.

Good luck.

Cheers

exactly which hose is this?

and if it resets fine what does that mean?

It also won't set if there is an engine fault lamp displayed from my experience. It will learn but as soon as I stopped the engine it would go back to 900 revs.

(unless the throttle was damaged, I had to replace it in the end due to a random limp mode fault in the TPS.)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
