Default weird throttle issue. Help, I need some opinions.

Hey fellas

Well the past week or so... the Z has been the bain of my existence lol. Iam having some sort of throttle issue . I CANT figure it out!!! so here Iam.

the problem:

Well the car starts and idles perfectly fine, just like a new car. I can take it out It drives perfectly fine as well ( normal driving ).. BUT... ( it doesnt matter what gear iam in ) when I go WOT.. it just doesnt go anywhere?.. I have absolutely no throttle response .. It doesn't " bug " or anything.. I can be at 50mph.. go WOT.. and it just doesnt pick up, doesnt go anywhere whats so ever.

What Ive one :

I cleaned the MAF
I cleaned the Throttle body
I replaced/swapped the MAF
I replaced/swapped the Throttle body
Swapped the stock air box
Removed battery
Re-set the ECU
Re-set the throttle position learning
Re-set idle/air
NO CEL

----------------

Iam out of options ... any ideas? b4 nissan rips me off??

Thanks!!

Is there any way you could use a scan tool to make a recording while you duplicate this problem and post the values?

If you rev it in neutral does the engine respond as it should?

Any kind of scan tool that has the capability to record would suffice. Some parameters that would be good to monitor would be RPM, Load, O2 sensors, Throttle %/Throttle angle, Timing advance, MAF, fuel trims, etc.

Are you on the stock ECU or using a stand alone?

That's so clearly symptoms of the MAF, but then again you cleaned/swapped that already. I don't know bro, either fuel or fire relate obviously. Have you swapped plugs, checked the coils, checked the fuel pump?

No CEL? Wow... my guess would be TP sensor or incorrectly learning in the pedal dance. One time I did the pedal dance incorrectly and the car ran just like that... like 1/4 throttle was all I could get when it was floored.
