Hi folks,

I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on the issues I'm currently experiencing, personally I believe its one of my throttle bodies gone but maybe someone else has experienced something similar.

Basically I just started my vehicle and drove home, noticed that at periodic moments it would rev up approximately 3,000rpm above what it was on even with foot off the accelerator pedal, braking stopped it revving.

I got home and sat it Idle, at the 3k or just above it mark it will rev to 6k without me touching the accelerator along with a peculiar noise.

For reference I've checked the MAF sensors/reset ECU/idle learning/etc/etc, the ECU is throwing absolutely zero codes at me although the light will come on occasionally when it happens.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for reading :)

Thanks for responding Sonicii, I was only using the CEL flashing method.

Today I managed to get hands of a proper consult device and the following is returned along with videos of voltages/etc of when it occurs. Although I no longer have access to it I'm sure this should be enough info to figure it out.

Codes:
P0123 - TP SEN2/CIRC-B1
P0223 - TP SEN1/CIRC-B1
P0228 - TP SEN2/CIRC-B2
P2133 - TP SEN1/CIRC-B2

Videos of sensor data:

There was an incident whet I may or may not have charged the battery using another and accidentally threw positive on negative terminal.  Sparked but nothing seemed damaged, in saying that I have grounding cables going to each throttle body. (removed them to see if this was the issue but to no avail)

Eeek,  that is often catastrophic, can't say for sure if this is the cause of the issue, but it is entirely possible.  You don't happen to have any friends with a V36/370Z you can swap the throttle bodies over and see how it goes?

Probably noteworthy to also mention it only touched it for a moment but that was quite a while ago.

 

I sourced some second hand throttle bodies and the issue continued.... I'm stumped at what it could be.  Maybe the car lost its uprev tune or the low exhaust caused a crack in one of the extractors (as it does make a weird sound through the exhaust towards the front).

Hi there 

I had a similar issue with my V36. The problem was worse in stop start traffic,  rough idle, revving up and them stalling. (But only sometimes) It seemed like the fuel mixture was way too rich. Did all resets, replaced most sensor's, and the throttle bodies. No change at all. No fault code's.   Someone mentioned fuel pressure regulator. (Did a pressure test, 52lb at idle) So I removed pump bucket from the tank, BINGO the FPR was badly corroded.                  The fix.....ordered the fuel line return kit from CJ Motor Sport, and fitted an under bonnet fuel regulator. Also a new fuel pump.  Problem solved.

Try YouTube  The Aussie Shed.   He shows the complete job in great detail.            Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, took it to 2 shops today including na auto electrician... No real info aside from it possibly being the pedal itself and some more data.

 

Is this similar to what you had?

Just wanted to say this was all resolved by unplugging the battery for 24 hours then doing the relearn procedures.  Can't say whether the replacement accelerator pedal/throttle bodies even helped, would recommend for anyone in future struggling with this issue to do this first.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
