There is definitely some sort of electrical gremlin tied into the headlights, but the idle is much better and no random surge anymore. Consistently idling much lower. [emoji106]

Aware now!

Bird Brain moment… Vacuum line by the worst spark plug known to the automotive man. It was undone. . I can remember a lot of swearing replacing that spark plug and amidst the blunder I must have pulled it off it’s seat. Slipped it back on, normal idle headlights on or off [emoji2357] thank you guys for the vast array of info and knowledge though!

Nothing in the motor. Just suspension. Alternator id have to look at but it could very well be from 1994 lol

I’ll have to test some more of those theories. It does seem to be most significant change with turning head lights on and off. Air con and other systems do affect it but seem in the expected range but nothing as much as the headlights. . Cold start systems seem to be fine. Starts high and lowers as it warms. Foot on the brakes in drive and reverse it’s in normal 800-750 range. It’s not rough when it’s high or low. Runs smooth. I forgot something in my house today and heard it idle up randomly while I was in the house with nothing on (fans, headlights etc) to the 1100 range I’m talking about and stay there. I know in park and neutral it’s supposed to idle a little higher, but not this high. It sounds like a very light weight ghost is lightly pressing the accelerator and keeping it there lol. I’ll start with inspection and wiggle test tomorrow, and also see if I can get a video. Thanks for all the info!

I’ve always had a higher idle and I’m pretty certain it has to do with IACV partly, but there is another weird aspect to it. It idles high, and when I turn on the headlights, the idle comes down 500ish rpm and holds steady. I think there is some sort of electrical gremlin as well as the IACV needing to be done. Thoughts? Is there a known thing in this department with these? Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, I don’t think they marked them up to insanely, in comparison to some places. I shopped.

24-184908 are the rears. -4600 series. I’ll have to remember the fronts. I actually have Gabriel’s on the front for now because as you can see in the link that front shocks ship next month. Bilstein has had a super shortage on the front shocks for some reason. 4x4parts is always hesitant to give you part numbers because they want you buy with them.

Yeah I and I don’t have “problems necessarily they are just heavy duty and ride a little stiff on road. Off road, less stiff. This is the kit on it: https://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981182-pathfinder-deluxe-suspension-package-with-bilstein-shocks-with-black-coils-and-black-torsion-bars.html

Way better than before, little stiff, but great with a light load in the back.

I run a company that advertises vehicles for dealerships. Threw the pathfinder in the booth today for fun!

Did some shaking down this weekend, and so far so good.

I do agree with y’all, it’s must be from growing up with a father that’s been in auto parts since 1979 always telling me how certain brands were the same quality part with different name. Basically, (don’t over pay for stuff. ) Certain things are you get what you pay for scenario, some are not. I get it. However, I’m just now getting him to understand it pays, to pay for quality food. Lol

Hell it’s just nice to know and feel suspension that isn’t almost as old as me. For the rack, I think it would it would have to come with the tent, and a hot chick with a rack for that much[emoji2960] lol

Only thing left to do is go have fun.
