High Idle/Jerky Throttle
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 10:13 am
I have a 2005 pathfinder with an odd quirk. I usually get a high idle (around 1000 RPMs) when its rainy outside. While driving, if I let off the accelerator, the RPMs settle but then jumps back to 1000 RPMS. It makes for jerky driving. When coming to a stop, you can feel the transmission downshifting, and the engine still pulling. This is sometimes experienced when the A/C is on and fair weather.
