Y23DRH Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) throttle stuck wide open on way back from acecafe down the a40 is not fun at all soon as you lift off the accelerator pedal the car would just accerlate very rapidly So my question is what could of caused the problem???? It's a 2005 350z de roadster any help would be very much appreciated Thanks dan Edited March 19, 2015 by Y23DRH Quote
ZMANALEX Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Did the pedal stick to the floor ? If so it may be a mechanical fault. If not disconnect the TB and the battery and check that the TB butterfly is free. Remember this is a flyby system. Also the TPS may be faulty. Carry out your resets. Alex. Quote

I've experienced this twice with other cars and both times it was mechanical. How did you fix the problem to get home? Quote

evilscorp Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Don't move the butterfly valve by hand. (not sure if you have already from the previous comment. ) Quote

ZMANALEX Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Glad to hear that you are all sorted, thought that it may be the TPS. Alex. Quote
cs2000 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Must have been scary ! Good job on getting it sorted and not losing control of the car though! Quote
