1978 280Z throttle body help

Featured Replies

As stated before this car has not been on the road since 1996 and the throttle body is quite dirty and needs a soaking.  Throttle shaft feels good and tight, operates smoothly. Throttle position sensor was immaculate.  The plastic cover did it's sealing job perfectly on that part.  The BCCD is another story along with the dashpot.  Not in reuseable condition.  Any suggestions?  The BCCD seems to be a bit of controversy on the Forums.  Can it be eliminated without major driveability issues?  I have not found any replacement parts for either the dashpot or BCCD.  The rest of the throttle body will be soaking for a few days.  Will have to wait and see how it turns out.  Thanks again for all the help. John-Lugoff, SC.

I like the bcdd and the dashpot on mine.  I had them both mia but after reading I found out how to get them working.  No more stalling at stops.  My $.02.
