Throttle pedal problem

mat_cote · 06-24-2014, 03:03 PM

Hi guys new to this forum but own my 09 Z for 3 years now and since i put it back on the road after winter storage i notice sometimes when i lift off my foot from throttle to turn in at around 80-90 km/h it seems like the car still input some throttle....and i check the floor mat..just to be sure..still at the right place..

anyone encountered this issue

09 Premium/Sport
only mod is KW V3
52xxx km/h (32xxx miles )

nedd an oil change next week will get it check at nissan dealer

Thanks,

It may just be stiff from sitting so long. Have you tried "exercising" the pedal? With the ignition off, pump the pedal through its full travel about a dozen times.

i think it's just burning off the last of the fuel for emissions reasons depending on your throttle input and angle.

does this on my other car too.

thanks for the reply, i dont think it's mechanical related (pedal behavior) it feels more like the ECU for some reasons only him knows...compensate or corrects an issue by a little blip of throttle...throttle mapping

The idea it is burning remaning fuel is pretty much what i tought because more i think more it's doin it when fueled with 94 octane, i'll run some diagnostic this week and post my notes and results.

I too have an 09, and I don't have that issue. But I don't "turn in" to anywhere going 80-90 kmh.

I had this issue especially if the road wasn't 100% flat... Then I got a new diff. No more issues
