Gas Pedal Delay

Exactly. Look up electronic contact cleaners.

I'd suggest you get a scangauge and actually document a problem with your A/F ratios before you start f'ing with sensor cleaning.

Scan tools are the cat's meow!

Something IS broke. Just don't know what!

A scan guage is a good idea. I've been meaning to pick one up. But still.. I knew I could probably use a cleaning so I gave it a go and it helped. No harm no foul in my case.

I notice it's a little bit more responsive while it's cool, but still not really a difference when it heats up. =\
oh well. Guess I just have to save up for the oil cooler. If I get one, I will update with my results on this thread.

Check into the Sprint Booster.....got one love it

There's basically two currently active threads on this issue. The one that we're currently on and this one >> Loss in acceleration + throttle response ??

The 370Z throttle is definitely not as sensitive compared to the 350Z. I test drove my cousin's '06, and I kept giving it gas too early. Perhaps it's for easier engagement. Past that point, however, the 370Z definitely pulls harder and longer.

For a long time I thought the lagging throttle was normal until I saw the thread about the brake switch being off. That definitely fixed the lagging throttle issue and not being able to achieve 100% throttle position. It still doesn't remedy the situation where at times the Z stalls a tiny bit, but it may improve a tad with VDC inactive.

Congrats, you just responded to a spammer.

I haven't noticed any kind of throttle lag what so ever on my Z and it's completely stock, with no mods of any kind.

I'm thinking I'll hook my OBDII interface upto my laptop this weekend and record some data from the throttle pedal sensor & the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) sensors for comparison. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

You should try flooring the gas pedal and you will see there is throttle lag. I got no throttle lag now after the car was ECU re-flashed

A stock reflash? Did the dealer do it?

How is the installation on the Sprintbooster? haha im not very mechanical... I looked on the website and they make it look super easy. Is it really that easy?

Pelican170 · 05-20-2011, 11:20 AM

Just talked to someone at Sprint Booster and gave me these instructions. Im assuming they are the same for the 370z. Seems simple enough...
