richiep350 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Well my 350z experience went from very excited and happy to ****ed off and angry in a matter of 50 miles.. so after work i filled her up and got excited about going for a drive and then this happened.. So angry she went into limp mode and wouldn't idle when Mr AA man finally turned up he plugged the diagnostics in to find that the throttle position sensor and the throttle pedal sensor had stopped working so he took me back to the dealer and they hagve ordered the new parts in. Thank god i got a years warranty and AA cover with the car! want her back already rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y've read several post about this issue. The reason why it goes into limp mode is becaus of a mismatch in the voltage. There are 2x power lines between the pedal and the throttle bodies. If there is a mis match between these 2 the car goes into limp mode and only allows 20% throttle at max.. but if the dealer is willing to change everything into new parts then why complain Brand spanking new parts.. only reason is that you have to wait Btw sorry for my poor english..
