Now you've got me worried!!
I've read a one or two posts during my search of guys who have reported the same thing, while others said there's was clean. What's going on, could this be a fuel choice issue? Or just dirty filters?
Searched the subject and read a few posts but left with a couple of easy questions for you experts.
1 Is it only necessary to clean the one face of the butterfly or do both faces get dirty and have to be cleaned?
2 is it only necessary to do the throttle body reset and not the ecu reset as well?
Thanks lads for taking the time to help. Technology seems to have a way of knowing if your a computer clot or not and makes you pay big style if like me you fall into the former category.
Scrub the FF working every time. It's now gone intermittent again. Seems like it sometimes needs more time to achieve its command. Thinking it might be my computer of Virgins broad band or security software. But then I can log into my emails and eBay etc without problem?
Reset IE and tried that again but same problem. Downloaded FF and it craps out when logging in but gives THE CONNECTION WAS RESET and TRY AGAIN. Clicking try again works and logs me in.
Had another go but then it timed out trying to log out. Next time it logged me in and out without problems?
IE still timing out. FF seems to be working every time now ? WHAT THE HELL's going on.
I hate technology!
Well, downloaded Firefox and typed in www.350z-uk.com it went there just as it would with IE but when I log in it times out stating THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING. Tried it a couple of times and same message?
BUGGER
Your probably right but how does a body sort it out. What options are available on the pc or will it need to go to a pc eng to sort?
I'm busy trying to download FF so will give it a go when I've done
Shows how much I'm into technology these days I only discovered what Safari was after I bought my iPad last week. Now all of a sudden there's another one.
I'll certainly try it but would like to bottom out this IE prob first. By the way I've just tied Safari on my PC and it did the same thing. TROUBLES COME IN THREE's right
Nope can't log in there either. It may be coincidence but it seems to have been like this since last week sometime when the site went down. Could this be a factor. I've been using it for years now with no probs and this is the only site I'm having prob,s with. Can't understand it.
For some unknown reason my desktop pc running internet explorer will no longer log in and keeps timing out even if I try to enter one of the forums?
I'm using my iPad at the moment and can log in no prob's. only difference is the iPad is going via my wireless router and uses Safarie.
All help welcome
Thanks for that input posidrive it all helps. I'm now wondering if we might have the same dad (mine got around a bit) cos your mishaps are just the sort of thing that happens to me when I try to pick up tools
I'm going to give it a go when I get the required cleaning fluids but I'll be sure to keep tissues and cloths well clear if I have to start it up By the way it was just as well your son was well clear at the time
Wish me luck and keep an eye out for my post when I'm finished and asking how to straighten the throttle plate or some other mishap
See what I mean RISK! Knowing my luck I'll sneeze or something nd that'll be that. Is there a noticeable fall of in performance or are these jobs just routine maintenance. My cars an 04 and done 55k
Been reading about the guys who have cleaned the above two devices & because I'm thinking of having the up rev done I'm looking into any other stuff that might be worth doing before I commit to the tune. My question is: how do you know if these devices need attention? How does poor operation show itself? I get the impression that cleaning them carries some risk so thought I'd ask first
Yeah I understand if your giving it some but driving up a a set of car ramps?
I've never experienced clutch stink on any of my previous cars from Austin A40 (your too young to know that one ) to my last 5 series B M. I wonder if it's damaging the clutch at all or wearing it heavily when the smells produced?
What is it with the oem clutch plate. I've read a few reports of racing starts followed by a clutch burning smell. I ran the car onto my ramps yesterday only to get the smell with what seemed like a relatively controlled ascent. It's happened to me a couple of times now at times when had I been driving a standard 4 door there wouldn't have been any smell?
Pm'ed u Jez but no reply so trying this instead. I'm after an ON/OFF switch to fit in the spare location next to the heated seats switches. It's a small request I know but if you have one I'll have it
Mine came from the dash touching the windscreen. I used a length of 3 core flex (black) stripped out the cores and inserted it between the two. Job done.
Now Ive got a noise coming from behind me around the drivers side of the tail gate and just cant locate it
