HELP!! Installed throttle body spacer and DCI on 335is!

alpine335 · 01-22-2011, 05:54 PM

I double checked and everything looks connected properly. i think its cuz it came with no gasket and may be loss? Its waaaay to cold out to take the TBS out, im going to take it out in a few days and hopefully my car will go back to normal. Thanks for the help guys and ill let you guys know if it works properly again.

If I remember correctly, there is only one gasket. The install instructions are not real clear regarding which side of the TBS to place the gasket. You have to look very carefully at the pictures.

I bet you have one of two things going on:
1. the TBS is installed backwards
2. the gasket is on the wrong side of the TBS

Hope this helps!

Also I hope you didn't break the nipple on the intake manifold as alot of people break this and have no idea...Check it out as it would cause the same symptoms your describing

Where would the nipple be located?!

Did you re-connect your tmap????

That's what happens when people don't do forums but trust these scum bag ass vendors that give two fucks how your car will perform, however on my previous car 06 MAXIMA TBS and IMS made a good 10 - 15 whp that was noticeable.

Double check that you did not accidentally loosen one of the sensors near the TB area - that's what happened to me and I experienced the same issues that you described.

get that TBS and toss it.

I agree.
Is the OP sure that he installed the gasket on the correct side?

Could be a busted boost sensor. Had a similar issue. Dealer checked it out and figured out code was tripped from busted sensor.
