Causing a high idle when running and an idle fluctuation when started? It runs fine otherwise. I guess I could drive it for two months or so until tax time and just take it in. I'm really at a loss as to what else to check. I've checked all the vacuum lines. Sprayed them and nothing happened. The egr valve appear to move freely. New distributor fixed the rough running problem. Need I mention the idle got higher only after I cleaned the throttle body... What the hell happened??

Anyone think an alty could cause a high idle? im not sure what else to check. and it won't throw any codes to tell me wtf is up. i really don't know.

Discovered the diodes inside my alternator are bad. It happened before I installed my new stereo system. But I thought it was something else. Turns out the whine I get is the alternator itself. I can unplug it and it goes away. Ugh. That's gonna be slightly expensive. Not sure if it's related to any of the problems I've been having with The engine or not.

I'm pretty sure it has one? I pushed up on the thing inside of it and the engine bogged down. But it's not sticky.

Timing light bought. Timed the engine. That was a pain in the Ass!! But now I need to adjust the tps since I accidentally moved it... Lol. It doesn't seem to do much different besides it comes out of od way to easy. Usually at 35-40i could accelerate a bit and it would stay locked up. Is the tps supposed to affect the idle? It's still idling about 1200 but it has more power now that the timing is on. Still goes up and down a bit when I first start it or press the gas.

..... uhhhhhh, is it the same thing as a vg30? i know there's one back by the 6th spark plug that can get messed up on a vg30. I do hear a clicking sound coming from the top/back of the intake. on the right. around the egr valve area. This is that last thing to figure to get it running right and i can figure it out!

I don't understand why it's acting like it's got an air leak. When i hit the gas when idling or driving. and let go. the idle jumps up and down a few times, then rests again. or when i start it. it jumps way up, and then down and up down and up. etc.

"our harbor freight" doesn't have them... should i say. lol.

I've read either the tb or the idle air control valve have went bad. But idk. Still searching For a timing light. Harbor freight doesn't sell them. And oreilly doesn't rent. Trying to find one from a friend to borrow.

Dizzy got here and I installed it before work and drove it. It doesn't stumble or miss anymore. But it's idling high like it was before. And the idle still goes up and down after I tap the gas. there is a clicking sound coming from back around the egr valve area as well...? It doesn't seem to be sucking gas down anymore! Lol. Old dizzy sounds like it has gravel In it.

I've had a few people tell me they had similar symtoms. and the dizzy is a common problem. so im hoping this is the case. but it's odd with the high idle and maf sensor code...

Tomorrow my dizzy gets here (while im at work) so ill be changing it late at night. ANy tips on this one? I've been told to rememeber which way the rotor is pointing, and put it in clocked the same way, but ill still need to get a timing light. might go buy one in the am.

Lol. I actually am growing to love it. Rides better. Better mpg. When it'd it not broke and using gas like a tank... And it's got @!*% loads of storage. Something a wd doesn't have that I love. Dizzy is in the po as of right now. And will begin it's journey tomorrow. Lets cross our fingers and hope this fixes it. Because after that. I'm at a loss.

.? Still no update. Went camping and left it at home for four days. Haven't gotten back to it yet. Waiting for my "new" dizzy to come in the mail. still not sure if that's gonna fix it. We shall see...

How do you guys find these ancient threads? lol.

hahahah! I was wondering who would comment about the song first.

LOL i didn't see the MAF part of the question. no. i didn't use that on the MAF. just the TB. the MAF i used alcohol and a q-tip like i have before.

I used a can of throttle body and carb cleaner. Idr which brand. I'm paying for a dizzy today. Should be here by the time I get back from vacation on Monday. Maybe. Really hope it fixes it

Meh, one of the things i was told to try... to fully rest the ecu/pcm.... we will see. im not messing with it anymore to night. so why not? haha

It's unplugged for the night, since about 8pm. its now 1:45 am... we will see what happesn in the morning.

The input shaft bearing is up too high for the fill level nissan made. When i dropped the trans from the 93 i used to have, the input shaft had a TON of play. was really loud and it still drove fine. just loud as hell. lol. 4th gear is a straight drive so from what i understood back then, there wasn't any "torque" so to speak to strain the bearing. but i could be wrong. i was 15 back then. haha

2001 has a vq. It won't swap over either way... Be easier to find a trans that isn't howling (input shaft bearing), and "over filling" it as per the fsm since nissan was nice enough to not put the fill hole far enough up the side of the transmission... just my

Guess ill compile the video's ive taken of it's Sheit... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=577369765633489&set=vb.100000814125250&type=3&permPage=1 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=577965192240613&set=vb.100000814125250&type=3&permPage=1

So for a while now my truck has had this miss/stumble/jolt. lately on the freeway it does it all the time... Well just yesterday.. all hell broke loose (mind you this entire time, NO CEL/SES) and now it barely moves without flooring it and its missing like CRAZY. Strange thing though. I cleaned the TB using the writeup on nicoclub, and now its even WORSE. the truck has a high idle. is throwing a knock sensor and a MAF sensor code. And i can't drive it with OD or i get turned into a milkshake. Unplugging the MAF yields: dropped idle, then even MORE rough idling after the idle levels back out. Before i got replacing either the dizzy or the maf, i don't know which to attack first, as i can't really afford both. It's chugging gas like a tank, and can barely get out of it's own way. And I feel as if i'm gonna get run over... I swear i fix one thing, and two more pop up. I've been told to replace the knock sensor (seems rather extreme for a knock sensor?) The dizzy has the "red dust" failure under the cap (could this cause it?) And then the MAF, wigglign wires, cleaning it, nothing changed. and no vacuum leaks that i can find either. OH YEAH! it only does this when its fully warm....

Fixed it..... then broke it again....
