03 Y61 TB48 Throttle Body issues / part number and couple of questions
Hi Gent's
If anyone flicking past this thread that has ever had to replace their throttle body for an Auto TB48? (mines 2003 running LPG/PET) could you please shed some light?
A6119-VC21D seems to be the only part number I can come up with... The one on my rig is almost getting to the stage of being a paperweight, keeps tripping into limp mode now and again more than often with much use between but recently more often last trip into limp was Aus day on the beach out of all places after being parked up for the arvo of fishing so the car was back in the shop today for its service and to troubleshoot the throttle body and mech cant find any issues with cabling etc.. been looking at a couple on EBAY plus the listing on Patrolapart as no wrecker in Perth that the mech called has a second hand unit for sale so I'm looking at new one and feel better doing so as I know there wont be any issues for a while .
I hear Nissan like to charge $1300+? the + depending on the time/heat/wind direction of the day?
I would prefer to source one locally in Perth if the pricing is not far off (not with Nissan if the above line is true) however first and only call I was able to make this arvo to my most frequently used parts store where they normally have it sussed in a couple of seconds but I was asked for my VIN and I didn't have it on hand so one question is my VIN really required or is A6119-VC21D the one I need as its the same on all the years 09/2001 to current? Supplying the VIN is not an issue but cant spend a lot of time on the phone at work calling around.
If sourcing one locally drags out or price is way up and beyond I will more than likely look to PatrolApart, I have already sent a request on availability and shipping charges so waiting to hear back.
My other question's are has anyone ever had any luck fixing a throttle body with P1122 code? I tried searching the forums but can't seem to find any definitive answers other than people end up buying a new unit .. I'm obviously no mechanic but find it hard to believe that they are not serviceable after all i presume the fault its only in the TPS unit attached that you cant purchase separate? I am also curious if this is linked to a dead or spot or what feels like lag in the pedal when putting around on petrol however it doesn't happen on LPG, I previously assumed it was due the car being tuned more for the LPG? but the more i think of it the TPS could cause this symptom or am I getting my hopes up with the thoughts of a new unit fixing this too?
I did get a hold of one of those OBDII Bluetooth adapters and Car gauge pro on my phone tonight and it works fine although so far the ecu hasn't stored any fault codes but It was only a 10 min drive home after the service and I'm not holding my breath.
