I recently did some work on my car and removed the throttle body. I did the reset procedure, however, the car still won't idle right and the car smells funny. Do you disconnect the battery and drain the capacitors? How do I get my car to run right again?

PS
No O2 sensor issues, the car has less than 84K on it.

 

Bluetooth Odb adapter and the NDS app might be able to help. The app can reset the idle for you given the right circumstances. Just did mines a few days ago after a throttle body cleaning.

 

Thank you.

 

You need to do the idle air recalibration, Section EC - Engine Controls, page 79 of the FSM

NDS2 is easier but you need to buy the app and have an Android phone with a OBD2 BT adaptor.

 

I have the Torque app, the paid version. Can I reset on there?

 

And yes, you are supposed to drain the power before disconnecting the TB.

 

No torque doesn't have that ability.

 

Just do the pedal dance method, use a stopwatch because the seconds counts need to be exact.

I have a 2003 g35. Just bought off a friend, had to replace 02 sensor for emissions. Had an idle air control cel, friend read somewhere that replacing throttle body would fix. No big deal took care of it but the cel keeps coming back for the same issue. Idle relearn went fine but cant get this cleared to pass emissions.

 

What was the actual code?

 

I realized I cracked my upper intake manifold by over torquing it. I put some JB Weld on there and it sealed up nice.
