nice work dude

i pulled my PCV valve out yesterday to check it. it works fine and was a little oily (to be expected) and i was going to clean it but realised i parked my car infront of the shelf that its stored on and couldnt get to it lol

also, learnt the vq35 throttle bodies are the same size as ours, and its quite large already..........

Dammnnn, Well at least we know who has a spare one for sale if anyone stuffs theirs up.

Reviving a zombie thread from the glory days - and registered - just to say WOOT! Thanks guys, prolly saved me a packet 'troubleshooting-by-replacement'!

Anyhow, just to confirm blocking the PCV tube downstream of the TB dropped a high, surging idle on a 2008 Nissan 350z VQ35HR (that had just stupidly had its TB's cleaned) down to around 850rpm - and allowed an idle relearn to run & stick. It now sits on 650rpm and ~15deg BTDC. Pretty much perfect!

After reading soooo maaaany threads on this topic - generally without resolution (other than TB/ECU replacement), I figured it might be worth posting my thanks and confirmed resolution and hopefully gaining you a few Google search ranking levels in the process ;-)

Cheers,

Guv

Hi - to also add to an old thread.

I've been having the same issues and unable to complete the air idle volume learning to happen and drop my revs. I read heaps of stuff from G37, 350Z, and even pathfinders, that there is a common issue with unplugging the throttle bodies and not able to complete the relearn (especially with the VQ35HR engine)

I saw a post on 350z forum and gave it a try - I unplugged both throttle bodies and left them a few moments, before plugging back in. It worked! - it must have put the ECU out of its funk and allowed the learning procedure to work!

Now lets hope it stays that way!

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingieย  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like ย
