Had to replace the Throttle Body on my '03 today. Car went into Limp mode on Sunday and the codes came back with Throttle Position Sensor high voltage and some other code (sorry, I tossed the card I had written the codes on). Anyhow, the TPS sensors are the black box on the side of the TB, which of course is riveted on so no easy replacement. Good news is that Nissan now sells re-manufactured TB's, at $167 each vs. at least $600 brand new, and my favorite dealer had one in stock and gives our Z club 15% off so it was a quick fix. And, it cleared up a high idle problem I have had for the past 6 months, leading me to believe the sensors were failing or I had some other problem with the TB. Regardless, quick fix and pretty reasonable price - 20 minute DIY.
