Replying to: c8smom (Aug 05, 2009 10:30 am) I removed the THROTTLE BODY and cleaned it with a can of carb-cleaner. There was a lot of build up, but I did not think this was the root of the problem. I reinstalled the THROTTLE BODY and started the vehicle. This fixed the stalling issue, but not the rough idle. I removed the THROTTLE BODY again for a closer inspection of the area. What I noticed was a small area on the opening to the intake that was dirty. The metal crush gasket that is between the TB and Intake somehow developed a leak. I could tell because everywhere on the intake where it mates to the throttle was clean except for this small area on the radius. (the stall was probably fixed the first time because I might have caught the gasket just right and stopped most of the leak) I cut a new gasket out of good gasket material. Reinstalled the TB, reset the ECU of soft codes and started the vehicle. No problem. Idled smooth like when we bought it. In conclusion: OUR particular problem stemmed from a leak between the throttle body and intake. Hope this helps.

Replying to: ferraritech (Aug 23, 2009 6:57 pm) Note: Carb Cleaner is highly flammable. Use extreme caution and try to do this with a cool engine. (you can substitute carb cleaner with WD40- result isn't as noticeable) Get the engine to start and run on its own (if you have to have someone hold the throttle that is fine) Quick sprays of carb cleaner directly at the area between the throttle body and intake. Get the top, sides, and bottom if you can. If you have a leak there, the engine will stumble and possibly stall. Next step...go get another gasket. As far as I know, there are no aftermarket fiber gaskets for the Murano. So you will most likely have to go with Nissan's metal crush gasket. I would say this is probably fine, but if it happened once......

take it into Nissan service centre. There has been a post regarding NISSAN's problem about this!! It's NISSAN's problem~~~~ get it fixed if under warranty. They should even do it for free as they are recalling all the ones with this problem!!

I am in Australia. We dont get all the range models as US. We have ST and Ti Model. Ti = top of range with reversing camera. I am buying a Ti, and they said the rear parking assist sensor WILL NOT fit due to Ti already have Reverse Camera installed. Is that TRUE? Why can't the two co-exist at the same time? Should the dealer be able to install the REAR park assist even though i have the reverse camera there??

Replying to: lovepub (Aug 27, 2009 5:36 am) Why is a parking assist sensor needed if you already can see what is behind you with the factory reverse aid? |
