Had my throttle body replaced also. Unfortunately i forgot what the code number was, but i know it was TPS related. details:

I got check engine lights and other lights came on in the dash. Happened multiple times. Turning car off and on did not help. Had a throttle position sensor code. The fix that time was to replace the throttle body (throttle position sensor).

Haven't had those symptoms since; knock on wood!

weiboy718 09-26-2012 03:31 PM

Yeah sorry man!

Can your tuner confirm if the throttle bodies are working or not using uprev or even doing a manual visual test by removing the charge pipe with the ignition on to see the throttle plates? This is something I would check out is that and trace where they cut the maf sensors at and make sure they are well soldered up and wired correctly.

Did you pay to replace it ( Out of warranty) I only have 15k on the car , But we know thats probally not going to happen, My codes one is for TP sensor bank one. P2133.

Thanx Wieboy, I'm not sure why they are giving me a hard time looking at the car either, Like they do not want to touch it , Not sure why?

Osiris 09-26-2012 03:59 PM

yea, mine was TP sensor bank ?? also, not sure of the code number though. It was replaced under warranty, but the technician who works on my car is a friend of mine also :tup:

weiboy718 09-26-2012 04:28 PM

They should cover it! Wth!

Do you have any close friends that would let you try out their throttle body? Worse case would be get a pair off eBay. I've seen some on there before

My tuner did not say anything about the TB working or not just the codes, I know they are super busy and I have no APT my car just showed up on a truck.. They are almost squezzing it in when they have time. But the car will be going to a Infiniti dealer, From Kaizen. I talked to them yesterday and the guy I talked said they "should" be able to cover it. If thats the only issue I will be happy, Then will have to go back and get retuned . :/ UG never ending,

Westboro Infiniti, If someone knows them please help a guy out, I really need this thing fixed, Thanx :)

Did you try contacting the dealer you got the install done at to see if they would warranty the throttle bodies?

Yes sir , 4 emails, NO reply, Two phone calls he did not answer the phone( No biggie) He did not answer the phone when my car was there, We almost 100% of the time talked VIA email,

ANMVQ 10-03-2012 08:30 AM

So Westboro call me yesterday and said it was all set, Broker wire in the "New Harness" that Norwood built, Did tell me the car "will" throw a code for RICH if I hit the throttle to hard, Still need to get it tuned, Made the APT for Monday,

Rusty 10-03-2012 08:33 AM

You're getting closer. :tup:

Thought kaizan "rewired" the throttle bodies?

ANMVQ 10-03-2012 09:48 AM

They did, But there was Still TB codes( Which you left out) , There was more than one break. They did not rewire the same one as Kaizen did. There was a TSB for the codes I had which also gave the tech some starting points for test to trace down the issue, Dealer thought the TB it self was bad, But after following the TSB they found another broker wire,.

elperuano 10-09-2012 04:55 PM

Would be interesting to hear how much you've invested in this stillen kit and upgrades to "hopefully" hit 500. Must have some sort of sentimental value to you.

I have nothing really invested bought the kit, this year, and had plans to upgrade the pulleys and what not next year, Car went down so decided to do it now, all in all ,I have Like 1200 extra into it( parts) most of that are the injectors, LOL . No looks like a fuel pump, So will move up to a 340LPG just to safe, :)

Soorry guys the lean issue is only at WOT , building boost, idle and normal driving its fine,

Sentimental? Nope liked the kit, LOVED the fact is was "legal", and had warranty, Was the "First X coupe" Sc'd now trying to be the first Stillen guy to hit 500WHP with their kit.

No no no.....you are looking at it all wrong. ANMVQ is like a bad luck sink, sucking in all the bad luck around him. If you hang out close to him, your car will probably dyno at 600 hp with just a CBE and a CAI!

i assume you're joking because those only make 252HP crank. Unless you've modified it?

EVOHUNTER 10-17-2012 09:37 AM

hey, did u get a tune after you had pulleys added and the extra boost?
this would cause crazy lean conditions.

Car would go lean on the dyno,. Trying to tune it, I was told he would make as rich as he could and as soon as it went into boost , would go crazy lean., I still really have no driven the car, Only time I was in is was from the last dealer home, I hit no boost and drove no more than 55 all the way home 25 mins or so. No matter what he does with the tune it just goes lean. At idle the car is super rich, It will throw a rich code, At WOT and boosting, it goes the other way 24/1 lean :icon14:

ANMVQ 10-22-2012 10:41 AM

Quick update the Wally in the car was a GSS317 and the feed line was either the wrong kind of hose or installed wrong as it split at the hose clap and was bleeding pressure out. They are installing a DW300 and a new fuel line, We'll see, CROSSED FINGERSS big time,

ANMVQ 10-22-2012 01:13 PM

So the lean issue is all set, But now will not make more than 3PSI at WOT, I'm going back to the stillen set upi amd messing with the cogs when I have the time, Just one issue after another, FN car
