Throttle Position Sensor Tps
I need somebody's help, i have a 350z TT from jwt and all of the sudden my SLIP light turns on and the throttle does not respond so i can't pass 25mph.
I plugged in this device for OBD II under the steering wheel and it told me it was the TPS, my question is, has anybody had this malfunction on their car or is it very rare ???
I called the dealer and i have to buy the whole thing throttle body plus TPS and take it back to the dealer so they can adjust the idle, what a pain in the a??
Anybody's help is highly appreciated, thank u very much

Was it the TPS Voltage Correlation A/B code? If so, you have a TB that is acting up. Nissan replaced many under warranty a while back.
Yes, it was exactly the TPS VOLTAGE CORRELATION A/B CODE, my question is should i just disconnect the negative battery or take it to the dealer, my worries are that the guys here in miami take our cars with TT for joy rides and destroy them

A new TB is about $350, IIRC so might just be worth changing it out yourself

The TPS is part of the of the throttle body assembly so it won't be an added part

TPS going out are VERY common!!!!! Sounds like you car went into dummy/limp mode... I think its time you replace your TPS. BUT DONT BUY NEW! This has been happening so much that nissan now offers re manufactured TPS for about $120 Its the heat that destroys them...engineering flaw, poor heat sink ablilty...check courtesy nissan...but your gonna have to call and order cause the part isnt listed on thier site. I know some that has been through 6 since she FI'ed her car...I been through only 2
