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?

I did have 1 fault code, "which was missing on all cylinders", forgot the actual code.

Turns out that was telling me RICH MIXTURE  I didn't realise that at time.

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.

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
