Hi Jtchal , To answer your question about coils , in my opinion this is one of the best mods you can do for your Pathfinder as the stock coils are very soft (lots of body roll and dont load it up with cargo type thing ). My very first mod was to change the coils and the way it drive / handle improved a lot . Yes firmer drive but better handling any day anywhere. Some times i tow my caravan ( tow ball weight about 150-180 kg) and my car is straight not like accelerating speed boat. When i go camping without caravan is the car always loaded to the top and is nice and straight no mater how much you loaded. After 7 years of using the car ( with the lift ) i never had the feeling that i need it more rigidity from my suspension. I install the 35 mm King spring coils about 7 years ago and added the 1 inch coil spacers from SFcreations after. Good luck with your purchase... ​After i install free wheeling hubs occasionally the orange 4wd light came on ( mainly after more the one hour drive on highway ) flashing that is ... Last year i install front lokka and now when the light comes on is not flashing but staying on until you restart the vehicle, again like everyone else reports no other faults comes with it. last week i went on a 1200 km trip to shark bay and on the way there the light came on about 2- 3 times . After lots of 4 wheel driving there for tree days i came home and on the way back the light never came on and i drove the 1300 km in one hit driving all day , so go figure??? All the best ...

I think that the IAC valve suggestion sound interesting .I my self had experienced likewise scenario with IAC valve when i was changing the stock intake (at the same time removing LPG system of my car) to little more free flowing ducting .I tapped the IAC straight of the airbox ( i was not sure if the air was metered or not thrue the MAF) and the idle was surging badly , until i tapped into the intake ducting. I also have removed to clean IAC valve from 1mz engine and the valve had build up carbon crust and was preventing it from rotating properly. If it was me that's what i would have done try to clean it first mayde even with contact cleaner (electric circuit solvent cleaner) straight into the intake manifold or the better way remove and clean the valve. Unfortunately i have never worked on VQ engine and cannot specify the exact removal procedure. If you can advance your timing to 14 it is defenetly worth it. Good luck

Hi , How is the engine behaving under load / acceleration ? Just wondering if it is the same surging , this will indicate if it is possible fuel delivery issue.

Hi , I don't know if you have sorted your problem out and if i'm of topic , but i still like to suggest one more check you can do. It is about sufficient cooling efficiency of your radiator. Old or to some degree corroded radiators (i don't know if yours is new ) can block up and loos cooling efficiency and your fan could be forced to run to cool engine as heat is not dissipate adequately thru the radiator. If you have infra red thermometer check the temp near the top radiator hose and then near the bottom radiator hose as this is the hottest and the coldest point on your radiator and this should give an indication if your radiator is cooling. Best of luck
