My throttle body was insanely bad. Like thick thick coating. I changed my intake filters too and My car is driving so much better. It felt chocked up before. Thank you brodie 🙏🏽
Never touch/move the throttle plate with your fingers.. have something or someone step on the gas (not with car on of course) as it is electronically operated and it might mess it and you will have to re-program your car. Learned the hard way.
Wow, awesome clip! Had to clean throttle bodies and MAF since my 2010 370z roadster was running rough. I can guarantee they were never cleaned by previous owner because when I started cleaning, they were both super dirty with crud. I wasn't quite sure why the idle was so high after I cleaned them until I saw your clip...didn't know I had to do the steps you provided to re-learn throttle bodies and pedals to get it back where is should be idling. My Z car is running great thanks to your instructions. Again, outstanding instructions, thanks!
Thanks a bunch bro, this is definitely the best guide for VQ37HR owners looking to clean throttle body and MAF Sensor and gain maybe 5hp lol. The recalibration took me a while but im lowk slow, I have a G37x sedan btw works for any Nissan/infiniti with the VQ37HR
Just got a 2012 Z and your videos are answering so many of my questions and concerns. Keep it up man bc you put out good quality videos for being a small channel rn. Hope one day I can say I’ve been here from 1k subs🫶
fully depress the accelerator peda Wait 20 seconds and Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL turns ON (((((((((( NOT RUN in wait 3 seconds in stop MIL ) and ON
I’m showing code p1016 p100a and p100b, everytime I turn my car off it makes that robotic click, whether the ignition is on or just the car. Can any one think of any reason or help me out
My rpms go high like normal but it goes much slower, got a pending code for p0101. (2013 g37x) Hoping i just gotta clean the maf sensors for now. Gonna clean the throttle body anotherday
Does it work on 2007 g35 it’s a hr same body style and dn same parts all around as the 37 except the motor but I wasn’t cleaning my throttle bodies I was replacing them
Thank you! This was helpful. My G37 6MT has 78K miles and my driver's side resonator had broken - causing it to run too rich and throttle rpm at 2300. I repaired the resonator, (JB WELD) and cleaned the MAS and the throttle body. Huge improvement - this breathed new life into it. acceleration is smooth and linear again. I have way better throttle response than I did even before the resonator housing cracked.
If your car is like mine and the bolts won’t undo on the strut bar, you can remove the tubing etc. to access the throttle body without taking the strut bar off.
i recently did this since i had a check engine light/service light 💡 did everything you said in the video but my car seems to idle back to normal without resetting the factory .. i’m at 600-700 idle car runs amazing since the cleaning definitely needed that
Can I do this and avoid the resetting because I have a tune on my 2009 370z but idk what or who did the tune because I bought it like that I just got a code pop up saying P1421 which is a cold start code and I think my best solution is to clean the throttle bodies instead of replacing them because I don’t think the previous owners cleaned them
My 15 Nismo SES light came on and I've replaced the MAF cleaned the Stillen air filters and disconnected battery but the light keeps coming on throwing the codes for MAF P0101 and P010B any idea what else it can be? At first I tried cleaning the original MAF but light kept coming on so I got new MAF for both sides and light keeps coming on
I did it followed ur instructions but I have a question after the 1st start after the reset the speedometer was going up and down once I did a 2nd start it did but way less very little should I be worried?
Recently my car has code p1239, whichI think is a throttle body problem. I wanna try to clean and reset it, but I have admin tune, and I was wondering if I do the relearn and reset, will that mess up my tune?
I emailed the admin tune, and they said it was fine and wouldn't mess up anything; that code just popped out randomly. My car drives fine, so I did not clean the throttle body.@@cartercarstensen374
Make sure car is at operating temps and battery is strong. Turn off ac and radio to reduce energy usage. If you’re following that and the rest of the steps in the vid then it should work. Maybe your timing is off? Lmk how it goes
My throttle body shat the bed and im replacing it. Thanks for the vid! You think if I'd of cleaned them it wouldn't of died on me? Or that's something else .. im at 200k km
That’s strange, the light may have gone out. Maybe try following all the steps still and see if it works. Just try to time it good since you won’t have the light indication
To AVOID all that RESET crap. Just (short version) spray THROTTLE BODY CLEANER (not brake fluid cleaner...) Like some idiots suggest. around the butterfly. DON'T over saturate!! gently wipe clean WITHOUT moving the butterfly. Also clean MAF sensor. (Use MAF cleaner) Long version...take THROTTLE BODY completely off. (only 4 bolts/long screws) spray both sides again WITHOUT touching butterfly. Re-install all components. Start car..YOU'RE DONE. NO RESET..!! Pushing the Butterfly can damage the Throttle body motor and change the calibration. Also you won't have to worry about high idling When done.
I have an 09 370 with high idling, and I’ve had the p300 code, swapped the plugs and coils, checked for vacuum leaks and cleaned the mafs, this is my last hope lol I’m worried about the relearning process looks tricky
Did you end up figuring it out? I’ve also on the same boat at you & have swapped the same stuff you swapped and still haven’t figured it out. However yet to try this! We’re you able to fix it?? Please lmk!
Hope this video helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
When you had that problem did it feel like your clutch disengage ? At 3700 rpm?
Didn’t have my foot on the clutch. It would be when I was accelerating and it’d feel like it lost power
My throttle body was insanely bad. Like thick thick coating. I changed my intake filters too and My car is driving so much better. It felt chocked up before. Thank you brodie 🙏🏽
Yo same mine was black and had never been cleaned
Tbh why wont you remove the throttle body, you’ll be surprised how dirty on the other side that angle is not good enough.
Never touch/move the throttle plate with your fingers.. have something or someone step on the gas (not with car on of course) as it is electronically operated and it might mess it and you will have to re-program your car. Learned the hard way.
Is this true? Did this mess up the Z’s idling or anything wierd after cleaning throttle bodies??
@@AyoDave602 for any electronically operated throttle body, yes. If is not electronically, you can move it around.
Nothing happened to mine
Done that multiple times on G35 and 370Z-no issues.
@@obender66 good then is Not electronically operated 🤷🏻♂️

Why not take off the whole thing to do both sides front and back since back has all that dirt
Thanks bro a super good video very helpful
quality video keep em comming
Nice video!! Do you plan on getting any performance mods for the z?
I do plan on it eventually but most things are just out of the budget right now, unfortunately. The main thing I want is an oil cooler
bro i just pressed up down left right L1 L2 R1 R2 and now it becomes an automatic and never stalls. thank you for the video
😂
I did everything and it worked but then when I started driving there’s like a throttle lag when I’m trying to gas it. Any ideas why that’s happening?
Not exactly but maybe take a look to make sure all the couplers are tightened and everything is tight
Just got a 2012 Z and your videos are answering so many of my questions and concerns. Keep it up man bc you put out good quality videos for being a small channel rn. Hope one day I can say I’ve been here from 1k subs🫶

Your car idles high at could start and that is normal! Mine does and then if you sit for 30 seconds it drops down. It helps warm it up faster.
Does it work on 2007 g35 it’s a hr same body style and dn same parts all around as the 37 except the motor but I wasn’t cleaning my throttle bodies I was replacing them
Thank you so much brother, saved me a trip to the mechanic. The limp mode went away and my car idles back to normal 🐐

Great educational vid‼️
When you cleaned your throttle bodies did you notice anything wierd with idling? Throttle response ?
My car is in limp mode with codes p2135 and p1239 🤦🏽♂️ and p1705
If your car is like mine and the bolts won’t undo on the strut bar, you can remove the tubing etc. to access the throttle body without taking the strut bar off.
So I did this but the SES light was blinking fast and it still was on what shows I do??
Yo im hella fucking new to all this, what are the tools you are talking about aha?
i recently did this since i had a check engine light/service light 💡 did everything you said in the video but my car seems to idle back to normal without resetting the factory .. i’m at 600-700 idle car runs amazing since the cleaning definitely needed that
What code was ur check engine thanks
what code did it bring up
Hey bro, do you know what code came up? Mine was P0507
Will this work for a Q50 as well?
yes
Can I do this and avoid the resetting because I have a tune on my 2009 370z but idk what or who did the tune because I bought it like that I just got a code pop up saying P1421 which is a cold start code and I think my best solution is to clean the throttle bodies instead of replacing them because I don’t think the previous owners cleaned them
It could affect your idle if you don’t end up resetting it. I would contact the tuner who tuned the car if you know to see if it’s safe to reset
Thank you bro!!
I followed your exact steps but I didn’t hear my throttle body’s reset? Help please!
What is your car idling at?
My 15 Nismo SES light came on and I've replaced the MAF cleaned the Stillen air filters and disconnected battery but the light keeps coming on throwing the codes for MAF P0101 and P010B any idea what else it can be? At first I tried cleaning the original MAF but light kept coming on so I got new MAF for both sides and light keeps coming on
Have you tried cleaning the throttle bodies? Also make sure all the couplers are on and tight properly
My car dies immediately after starting it could this be the problem
Not exactly sure but wouldn’t hurt to try
was there any solution being put on the toothbrush to clean the throttle body or were u just rubbing the dirt off with the bare toothbrush
You could wet the brush a little bit but no I did not add anything
I did it followed ur instructions but I have a question after the 1st start after the reset the speedometer was going up and down once I did a 2nd start it did but way less very little should I be worried?
What does it idle at now?
@@adamgalindo600-700ish
What do you mean by 149° and above?? I did a cold start but how am I suppose to know when 149°is. Like my oil gauge? Or the engine temperature
I went by the oil gauge and it worked
Yes the oil gauge on your dash
Do you have to disconnect the battery to do this process ?
Yes you should
Recently my car has code p1239, whichI think is a throttle body problem. I wanna try to clean and reset it, but I have admin tune, and I was wondering if I do the relearn and reset, will that mess up my tune?
It honestly might but not too sure. I would ask your tuner if you can
did you ever figure it out? i have the same code and my car is also admin tuned but i don’t know if it would mess up the tune
I emailed the admin tune, and they said it was fine and wouldn't mess up anything; that code just popped out randomly. My car drives fine, so I did not clean the throttle body.@@cartercarstensen374
To clean the body throttle can I use a wire brush or should I stick with the toothbrush
Stick with a toothbrush, you don’t want the wire brush scratching the surfaces
I’ve tried the last step of pushing pedal to floor and waiting for service engine light to blink.. but it won’t work. Any suggestions?
Make sure car is at operating temps and battery is strong. Turn off ac and radio to reduce energy usage. If you’re following that and the rest of the steps in the vid then it should work. Maybe your timing is off? Lmk how it goes
@@adamgalindosame thing I tried different timing still didn’t work
Did it fix the limp mode?
Yes
Is this work for 2009 model ?
Yes it should
My throttle body shat the bed and im replacing it. Thanks for the vid! You think if I'd of cleaned them it wouldn't of died on me? Or that's something else .. im at 200k km
It’s possible if no one’s ever cleaned it before. What exactly broke?
@Adam Galindo It was the sensor idk how. I have tekada stock diameter intakes, waiting to tune in good weather
i want to try this for my g but im scared my tune might mess up the idle relearn
Yea I would probably avoid it. If you can ask your tuner if it’s safe to do
@@adamgalindo yeah ill just bring it to my tuner so he can do it, thankfully they do maintenance on them too
Messaged you on fb bro. Thanks!
Didn’t see it. Dm me on ig instead @adamgalindo_
My throttle bodies make noise every time I turn the car off
That’s normal
Did it fix your issue ?
It did 👍
So how do you know what the Engine coolant temperature is?
To add to that, I have a 2009 370z and the service engine soon light doesn't appear. I don't know if I can see one.
On the bottom section of where your fuel gauge is
That’s strange, the light may have gone out. Maybe try following all the steps still and see if it works. Just try to time it good since you won’t have the light indication

After cleaning my TBs and mafs, I now have random misfires and codes are cylinder 1 misfire, and both p0101c and b, which are mafs
Did you do the factory reset?
Therapy
I have an 09 370 with high idling, and I’ve had the p300 code, swapped the plugs and coils, checked for vacuum leaks and cleaned the mafs, this is my last hope lol I’m worried about the relearning process looks tricky
It’s simpler than it seems. Feels like you’re doing cheat codes in a video game lol
Did it just randomly happen one day after you started it up? Does it idle around 1k-1.2k rpm? I also have an 09 370z
Did you end up figuring it out? I’ve also on the same boat at you & have swapped the same stuff you swapped and still haven’t figured it out. However yet to try this! We’re you able to fix it?? Please lmk!
I have the same code and am trouble shooting the same problems, what was the resolution for you?
