I'd suspect water intrusion or something more than lightning... If you're hearing whirring noises that roughly correspond to what the alternator might be doing (revs up and down with rpm) then that cable or it's connectors have a short to another cable or to the chassis, or an inducted signal from s...

Keep us posted. On a side note, just saw that you're in Arlington, VA. I'm in Springfield, VA. Let me know if you ever need help modding/working on your Pathfinder. Thanks! I'm garage-less for a few months before transferring to Saudi Arabia, so I may need help. I will pay in beer or other acceptab...

ShipFixer

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. What a stupid design where you have to replace the whole thing... My main issue with this aside from spending $500 on a new throttle is that I'm on temporary duty in Dayton and need to get on the road for DC eventually. This may upset my plans to spend a few days in ...

It's mostly just driving roughly. The high idle means I have to hold it back with the brakes more at stops or while coasting, and its not downshifting well at all. After Googling around a lot this weekend, I think there must be something I can't see without CONSULT II that's keeping it from learning...

ShipFixer

Well, nothing works. Once or twice the throttle started to go down during idle learning but only for a couple seconds. Refused to go below 3.1% or 850 rpm. Sensor appears to be fine since pushing it past the return spring to fully closed sends it to zero correctly. Looks like I'll be trying to catch...

Oh well, not an air leak...

Tomorrow I'm going to try disconnecting the throttle body harness and respraying the internals. Maybe the ticking noise isnt right...

ShipFixer

Here's a question for others who did this...did you remove the throttle body from the intake manifold or just clean it in place? I removed mine, and went back and tried lubing the gasket to see if that was it. Haven't tried spraying with carb cleaner to test directly for a leak...

I picked up a scanner from Autozone and still haven't learned anything. The only code it throws out is for high idle. It says that some of the onboard tests are incomplete (EVAP, O2, etc) but since part of this procedure is mind-wiping I don't think that should prevent an idle reset. I do see that o...

ShipFixer

Fought this for the better part of the evening. It looks like my truck may be trying to tell me it has a trouble code but it's not coming out in four clear sets of blinks as per the manual. So tomorrow I'm going to pick up a code reader and see if it says anything before asking Nissan for help. Hope...

+1 for Bilstein HD's, really transformed my truck.

ShipFixer

Still can't get this to work! I'd thought that maybe it was the transmission not being warm enough. Running out of ideas here...idle is getting no lower than 800 rpm...

ShipFixer

I must be screwing up on the idle relearn then. I have a couple ideas, hopefully this doesn't take all weekend to figure out. It's definitely sucking down gas more quickly and I'd planned on taking some mountain bike oriented road trips...

ShipFixer

I think the "easy" ECU reset works okay for me. Should the idle decrease to 625 at that point or only after the idle air relearn? It hasn't dropped below 900 rpm yet for me at any step, although the reset is turning off the service engine light for a while. Out of curiosity, did you hear t...

ShipFixer

Been doing all of the steps, and traced them back to the service manual to make sure that they were correct. I saw the thread where you went through this...you didn't have to do anything different? Did it take a few tries?

I've used a stopwatch...this just can't be that hard...

ShipFixer

While I was changing out my tensioner pulley, I thought I'd take a quick stab at cleaning out my throttle body since I read about others doing it here. Well, now I wish I hadn't. I can't get the check engine light to go away, and I've been through the ECU reset procedures maybe ten times now. I trie...
