Cleaned my TB then the idle's high and CEL on...... Tried everything but no luck. I tried to get the code read at AutoZone but they don't do it any more. Just wondering if anyone around OC area can help me get the code before I send it in for repair. Let me know thanks!

 

ouch. your going to have to buy a new throttle body. then relearn.

 

Yeah most likely, at first I was gonna get one and replace it myself, then I read about some people still couldn't get it fixed with the new tb, so now I'm thinking to let the dealer fix it. I think getting the code first will at least let me know what needs to be fixed.

 

i have a scan tool, you have a pm

 

+1 on volkz's work!! good guy

 

anyone with Cipher will be able to help you... if you dont get it worked out let me know (wont be avail till the weekend though).

The relearn procedure might take a few tries (first time I did it, it took three)... last time it worked first shot... so dont rush to the dealer to pay - make sure you time the segments accurately.

 

Yeah I spoke to him right after I got his PM, and realized he's very close to my work, which is great for me. I'm going to meet him after work today, hopefully we can get my tb issue sorted out. I'll post updates.

 

Really appreciate it VolkZ! I'll see you after work.

yeah I believe I got the procedure right, I can see it's learning the idle but just wouldn't drop below 750 rpm, and the throttle response is totally off. I did 5-10 relearns whenever I get a chance for the past 2 wks with no luck, plus from reading the posts I found on all VQ35 related forums, I'm almost convinced that I'm one of those unfortunate cases that have to be fixed by the dealer. For now I'll keep repeating the idle relearns, and check for vacuum leaks. Thanks for your input, I'll keep you updated.

 

Just a quick update, with VolkZ's help we got 2 codes: P0507, which is what I expected and P0327, NOT expected to see. I might still need to get a new tb eventually, and I'll look into the other code which is caused by knock sensor or the harness.

BTW thank you VolkZ for your quick response and help!

 

Just a thought, anyone got a spare throttle body that I can test on my car?

 

aamco checks it for free.

 

^ you mean they check the codes for free? I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the info.
