Hi I seem to have some Idle problems with my 1993 pathfinder , when starting to warm up like when it normally does starts off normal as usual at around 1400 rpms and it drops down to normal 1000 or 1100 rpms then suddenly goes spikes up to around 1500 rpms and stays there for a while and when i press hard on the accelerator and it againdrops to normal then when i lightly step on it then it spikes up again and stays up again.. i changed a fuel line that was dried and cracked and checked for other leaks and it appears to be normal.. what could it be??

No I havent checked in the ecu codes, so far theres no increase in temperature nor check engine light .

I would suspect the rattling in the engine is from the vehicle trying to combust water that it cannot. Have you checked the ECU for any codes?

Add some atf to the tank, cleans the carbon out of the fuel injectors too. Just 100 ml though, you won't need much. Also try changing your fuel filter or draining the fuel pump. There should be a plastic screw underneath it which you can turn to drain the water out.
ok ,, so also the white smoke is due to the water in the gas???
-
Put some water out in the tank and use premium. Do this a couple times. I got water in my tank from wheeling (in a small pond) and that is what I did. What did the gas station say?
i havent said anything to the gas station, ,,,, you mean to just put some premium gas to burn out the water from the tank???

I had this happen to me a month or so ago. Lucky for me I am usually broke and only get about 20 bucks of fuel at a time. Yes it will burn out. Water sinks to the bottom. Keep it full and it will flush out eventually. If it is water of course. But twice I had water in the tank, both times from seven eleven gas stations.
oh ok so its not that much of a big problem , well sort of,, thanks
i checked on thr antifreeze level and oil and its all normal so it is water in the tank , so i'm gonna let it burn off and put better gas , or can i put some sort of gas treatment????? please reply -
I suspect the fuel is contaminated with water. Water will settle to the bottom of the fuel tank, as it's more dense, and so will be the first thing the engine sucks on when you fire up from refueling. To make matters worse, modern "oxygenated" fuels with added ethanol are slightly hygroscopic - they use cornstarch filters to absorb any moisture that may have made its way in the fuel, but those can become saturated and need replacement (which doesn't always happen in time).
so is there a chance that it could burn off with more use?? or is there a fast solution to this problem??
-
Did you fill all the way up?
Yes, sometimes stations get the wrong thing pumped into the wrong tanks. Water could have leaked in as well. I'd call the station to see if there have been any other complaints.
White smoke usually means antifreeze (or water) is burning, so check the radiator to see if it is full and that it doesn't look like it is mized with oil.
You should try not to drive it until you figure out what is going on...

I'm moving this to the Garage section where there might be more input...
no i havent filled it all the way up, the diesle pumps were seperate from the gas pumps , im gonna check on the radiator, thank you ,, i hope everything comes out fine , if theres any other solution please let me know.
