Yes! Stillen sent me a completely new set of cables and they fixed the problem.

This is great feedback Tbatt....Thanks for sharing. I have to say I'm a little disappointed that the customer has to reach out to Stillen to get the upgraded cables. I mean If they found the old design to be a problem and came up with a new cable design to remedy the issues it would only be great customer service to do the right thing and contact the customers with the older designs and give them an update to send them the new cable design. Especially on a product that costs over $6K.... Simple things like this go a long way...

My new cables arrived today. I had just needed the throttle body cable as I have relocated my MAFs, but they sold me all three cables as a set. I'll put them on and hope it fixes the issue!

Keep us posted as to the outcome.

That's made from a much heavier gauge wire than what I have. How much did they charge you for the set?

Around $130- something. I switched the throttle body cable today, I'll keep everyone posted

Don't forget to use all three resets from page four of this thread and good luck.

Guess what? The problem came back yestreday just once so far. Guess I'll have to order the upgraded cables now too! :shakes head:

The cables look identical to the ones I already had on, to be honest. I would try diagnosing with your shop first, to see if they find another pin with a poor connection.

Ok I will. Thanks for that. :tiphat:

Mine looked the same too but just because the outer insulation jacket looks the same the inner wire diameter can be different. And, the crimp tool that is used would have to have settings changed to accommodate a heavier gauge wire. Lots of variables to consider.

My Z has run perfectly since the new cables were installed. Luckily, mine were covered under warranty.

Hey guys, I am having this issue. It has only occurred twice now, but what is really odd is I believe it is making my acceleration slightly jerky. Did this also happen to you fellas?

^ I did not notice jerky acceleration outside of the code being thrown.

As an update, the issue has not returned ever since I swapped out the Throttle Body cable with the new one :driving:

The stillen sales rep is refusing to sell me a single cable, I have to buy the set ($147.00). I only need 1 since I have the A2A kit. He is also refusing to direct me to upper management also, telling me pretty much that they don't have time to deal with a little problem like me...

This is very unprofessional and frustrating..

Yep, I had to buy the whole kit as well.
