ILoveMyPatty Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Okay so New Years eve I parked my truck at Sun Peaks, a ski resort near Kamloops BC.. did the New Years party thing, and slept in my Pathfinder overnight. In the morning the battery was dead, from the 300w heater I had going. I knew it would die but it was a good sacrifice for the temperature. Anyway, after a jump I let her run for a while. It was idling at the normal "warmed up" idle speed, around 700 and was idling a little rough, with 50rpm jumps and drops. Could this be due to the altitude? 4100ft.

88pathoffroad Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Could be, yeah. Mine does funky things at higher altitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93PathfinderWA Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have never had mine overnight at a mountain, but when i get in after about 7-8 hours of sitting it usually idles about 1300 rpm, at close to 4,000 ft. It normaly idles at sea level when it is cold at about 1700 rpm. So i would say it could be from the altitude but 700 rpm when it is cold seems a little low.

PathFound Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 When my Pathfinder is cold it idles at 1500 RPM until it warms up. I'm at sea level altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
