Gas Pedal Delay

IcedZ · 07-07-2010, 11:25 AM

I'm going to clean mine within the next 2 hours... just bought CRC on lunch break. I'll post a pic when I do. All you need is a philips head screw driver.
It is in between the airbox and the throttle body.

Ill probably try and clean my maf sensor too. I only have 11k miles on my 09 tho.

IcedZ · 07-07-2010, 01:32 PM

Did it, forgot to take pics. Parking lot test seems promising. I'll find out more on my drive home this evening. Try to get pics for you later, if needed still.

How much cleaner can a sensor be if you just spray a fluid onto it and it evaporates? Seems like any grime would likely still be on the sensor. Be careful with spraying crap on these for no reason (like you have <10k mi on the car). A mistake will cost you $232 per side.

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.

I think that's why they have you spray it 15 times, per the instructions on the can. It's just like the PB Blaster. You spray that thing on rusted nuts and bolts a few times and literally watch rust chip off on its own after a few minutes. If they're able to make a fluid that does that to rust, I'm sure they can come up with an equivalent to get grime of sensors.

Exactly. Look up electronic contact cleaners.

Scan tools are the cat's meow!

m4a1mustang · 07-07-2010, 02:10 PM

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.

IcedZ · 07-07-2010, 07:44 PM

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.

Something IS broke. Just don't know what!

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 ??

DIGItonium · 08-18-2010, 07:18 AM

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.
