#1 of 2 2004 Quest coming out of gear by disneyf1

Aug 30, 2012 (2:25 am)

The van intermittently has no pull but simply revs when the pedal is pushed. Usually when going up a hill, but sometimes on flat. If I let off the pedal it will 'catch up' and engage.
 
I can also go the whole day without it happening, though. It will also sometimes start from a stop in a very high gear and I'll have to put it into low to get it going at normal speed. This one is cured by turning it off and back on again.
 
I've seen this problem in the posts but not my other one. Are they related?
 
I've noticed that when the check engine light is not on the car acts normally. A code scan while the light was on produced the following:
PO744,PO7880,PO797(came up twice!)PO420,PO430. There's no cam sensor code as mentioned in some other posts, though.
 
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you,
 
OZ

Here's some information on the codes in case you are still looking:
 
P0420 - http://engine-codes.com/p0420_nissan.html
 
P0430 - http://engine-codes.com/p0430_nissan.html
 
P0744 - http://engine-codes.com/p0744_nissan.html
 
P0780 - http://engine-codes.com/p0780_nissan.html
 
P0797 - http://engine-codes.com/p0797_nissan.html
 
I've never had any of these codes but have experienced the "no power" issue. Like you mentioned, turning off the van and turning back on normally cures it. The best I can tell there might be a problem with the TCM. Mine is so intermitent and I don't have any codes, so I haven't addressed it.
 
Good luck.
