![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've got an '04 350z that will only idle, we replaced the Climate control ECM because someone told us that it could be part of the problem. But all it's doing is still idling, also the traction control light and engine light keeps coming on. When they put it on the machine it says it's the throtle sensor, could this be the truth or is it just tricking sensors???
Thanks
Thanks

Dont post multiple threads one right after another, you are not going to get a faster answer. All you are doing is irritating people by making them read basically the same post over and over.
A mod should delete one of these threads and create a new title that displays what this guy needs some "serious" help with

Sorry... I'm only 17 lol. Just trying to figure this out.
I was trying to figure out this car and it's issues I can't understand why the Climate Control ECM is effecting the throttle sensor and making the car idle only and show a check engine light and effect the traction Control Sensor yet you can reset the computer for a little while and it works fine then goes back to doing what it was doing. My dad went to the junk yard and pulled a ECM from another car and it worked for a few minutes and got the same issues again. Any one have a suggestion ?

Anyways, the climate control box shouldn't have anything to do how the car runs. You can have all of that **** unplugged and it will run fine, the fan just blows full blast.
Who told you it was the the throttle sensor, Nissan?

Then don't use your age as a crutch. Makes you look like a little *****.

A mechanic tried to tell me that but it didn't make any sense.
1. Why would the ECM have anything to do with the sensor? Doesn't the ECM deal with the air conditioning?
2. How easy are those sensors to replace, would my dad and I be able to do it? Or would it have to be taken to a good mechanic?

When I have an issue, which seems to be often (owning an elderly bimmer, (yes im in both the eurotrash and jdm scene)), I get a diagnosis of what the computer says is off, and then fix the broken part.
If a headlight buld is out, I will read "HEADLAMP OUT" and not wonder if my coolant level could also be causing my burnt bulb.
To quote you, "SOMEONE," told you they could be related in someway. "SOMEONE" is an idiot.
Stop crying, replace the throttle sensor (cause thats what the car says is wrong), and then come back to us.

You have a cold and warn idle. This is an ECU function. The ECU is sensitive to simple things like disconnecting the battery. Sometime it will fix itself. Study “reset ECU” here.
SLIP is a traction control function. Do you have TCS or VDC?

I was just clarifying that I'm not used to using these types of sites, not attempting to use my age as a "crutch."

Don't just start replacing parts *****-nilly. Get your FSM (Factory Service Manual), and bust out the DMM (Digital Multi Meter). Test the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). If this tests good (specs should be in your FSM), then test the throttle pedal assembly because as shift_love said, the car uses Drive By Wire.
Post back with your results.
Again, as shift_love said, the ECM is COMPLETELY unrelated to climate control function.
EDIT: Here's some links for the FSM. https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...anual-fsm.html
