Never heard that one before but I'm not up on tuning. I'd try it and see. If you can't borrow a reader from a friend, most auto parts stores will lend you one.

Thank you southark! Went to autozone and got them to diagnose.. All codes are tps related! Now I know where to start. I went there once before but they're reader wasn't showing any codes and Nissan said all codes they were seeing were not current. I guess R/T tuning was on the right track. I'm guessing at this point it's one of the wires that came with the Stillen supercharger kit! At least now I know where to start! Thank the Lord

The code is saying throttle actuator or throttle positioning sensor bank 2 . can someone please tell me what bank 2 means? Maybe driver or passenger side throttle body?

SouthArk370Z 07-10-2014 05:30 PM

You really need to get a copy of the FSM. It will tell you that Bank 2 is on the left.

Awesome thanks. Working on the car tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well

So going on advice from my man southark, this morning I checked the wire harness on the driver's side throttle body and just wiggled the wires and made sure everything appeared to have proper connections and so far so good! The last two mornings before today the car shut off on me about 5 times in roughly 4 miles but not today! Making progress!

nomodsjk 07-15-2014 11:44 AM

So it's been about 4 days and no problems. It was as simple as the wire harness from Stillen wasn't connected all the way. So glad I made this thread. Thanks guys!

Now I have another problem that stems from my solution to this problem... After I replaced that throttle body I was told I had to relearn the throttle bodies so today I took it to my local Nissan dealership and they were unable to successfully complete the task and they're not sure why? My guess is I have a custom tune from r /t tuning and the uprev license won't allow them to alter anything. Can someone please weigh in on this please!

nomodsjk 07-24-2014 09:20 AM

So it happened again. The wire harness I wiggled and made sure was connected is definitely defective. Ordered a new one from Stillen for the low low price of 299$ lol Wtf? For wires and some plastic lol

If you take a look at the FSM there is a way you can manually learn your TB's without the consult nissan computer.

I did it when I was having issues with my TB.

Awesome sauce! I'll look into it

Hey man, I am havingbthe exact same issue, with throttle acting up, same stillen sc kit. I think it might be my gears that are attached to the tb inside the black housing, what did you end up finding? Please help man

nomodsjk 06-12-2015 02:52 PM

Try cleaning your throttle bodies but make sure you unbolt them so you can clean the back side. This is a fairly common problem with our cars. Also do a manual throttle body relearn procedure which can be found by googling throttle body relearn procedure 370z. It may take you a few times of trying to get it right but it's really not that difficult. Make sure you use actuall throttle body cleaner and make sure it doesn't spill onto anything. Use a micro fiber and make sure it doesn't get into the manifold. Use a wire brush or toothbrush to scrub throttle bodies. Also while you're at it take the front bumper off and clean or swap your k&n air filters and your maf sensors. If you're not sure how to do any of this just pm me I'll walk you through it. It's not difficult at all I promise if a noob like me can do it then anyone can do it

nomodsjk 06-12-2015 02:53 PM

But whatever you do don't over oil the k&n's because you'll most likely soil your freshly cleaned maf sensors

nomodsjk 06-12-2015 02:54 PM

And make sure you give everything ample time to dry! Very important. Although those cleaners dry really quickly
