BoostJunky86 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well, I seem to have run into my first little issue , I have had a search and I hope someone can help and it's not serious. The cars supposed to be at my wedding Saturday [emoji15] Went out for another little hoon last night. Not driving to hard, nothing untoward. Cruised back home nice and calmly. Parked her up in my unit, as I was reversing I noticed the was no response from the accelerator pedal, first thought was cable, all fine, opened and closed by hand still no Change in revs?! Turned off. Straight back on all fine. And ideas. If I break down in her in the way to the wedding supra ownership may be a short experience for me lol[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] TIA Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 VVTi's have a fly by wire throttle, so cable as normal but to a motor sensor thingy. - - - Updated - - - VVTi's have a fly by wire throttle, so cable as normal but to a motor sensor thingy. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?323877-VVTi-throttle-problem-following-clutch-change&highlight=vvti+throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi Tom, Try doing an ETCS-i reset. I had a similar issue not long after I got my car. If you tried holding the throttle down you'd likely flag up an error code or 2. Codes 13, 24 & 34 appeared for me. If you follow point 2 on the link below, that will do the reset for you. It fixed it for me and I have never encountered the issue since. http://www.2jzgarage.com/2013/07/etcs-i-dbw-system-troubleshooting/#more-863 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Well had no more issues with the accelerator pedal not responding. Has now decided to idle very poorly though. Almost stalling itself. Any ideas anyone?? Tried the ETCS reset. Didn't hear anything happen and no change. Popped plugs out. Bit coked up and 1 a bit wet but drives spot on, cleaned them up in a proper plug cleaner. Improved, drove home from brands seemed fine after that bit still not 100%! I get the impression with 264's in it will never idle perfectly smooth. But wouldn't have thought it would hunt at times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 You should definitely hear a beeping type noise when conducting the ETCS-i reset - I'd try it again mate. Also, with regards to the idle, possibly a requirement to clean your idle control valve? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?210956-How-To-Clean-Idle-Control-Valve-Cleaning-Aka-ICV-%28IAC%29&highlight=idle+control+valve Hopefully that cures it for you Tom.

BoostJunky86 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Sure Matt's done this already too. Will be fitting new plugs regardless Would the reset be any different being on a F-Con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoostJunky86 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Still won't reset. No beep or nothing. Wondering if that's maybe a sign of the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Looking at the link above James Does a VVTi car have an ICV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Right still getting issues. Car has had new plugs fitted. It actually idled that badly and the exhaust was black with unburnt fuel and eventually stalled. 4 times. As soon as I accelerate gases clear. Let it go back to idle, sooty again. Then every now and again it sits at 1200, drops back to 800 slowly then to 600 ish and ok. It's very weird. Drives fine, pulls well. No hesitations etc. Really starting to bug me, Waiting to pop into Abbey Motorsport to get Mark to plug it in and pop it into the dyno to check her over. Anybody on here have a go suggestions as that could be two weeks.. The reset I'm convinced is impossible on mine for whatever reason.

Scooter Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Possibly some help for the future if it keeps coming back. http://www.2jzgarage.com/2013/07/etcs-i-dbw-system-troubleshooting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Will trawl through again. Still can't seem to do a reset but seems ok now so hopefully that's the end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
