OK....the throttle plates close on the 370Z under what conditions??

I was under the impression that the ONLY time they closed was at idle and during deceleration. That's what VVEL is all about I thought. Throttle plates remain WIDE OPEN all the time and the amount of air getting into the cylinders is controlled by the VVEL, hence no real need for throttle plates (other than for emissions).

My 6-spd S/P has never had these symptoms. I noticed a delay in power only when the slip light illuminates because it detects slip. Otherwise, mash it to the floor in any gear and it instantly goes.

Late,
