How To Clean Xterra / Frontier / Pathfinder Throttle Body

[@ytsn_THE_OG]

Thank you man. I knew what sort of issue it was, but you saved me the time of troubleshooting everything and doing a complete overhaul. I got straight to the problem.

Glad it was helpful, this is the reason I started this channel.

[@ytsn_THE_OG]

@@ijfim appreciate you. I meant to make a video of mine myself, so there would be more help out there for people in my shoes, but I got too caught up in the moment.

[@ijfim]

Yep, easy to do. Some of my videos suck because I am rushing to fix the vehicle instead of filming properly.

[@ytsn_THE_OG]

@@ijfim hey man, you were literally the only person I could find that would help me, out of hours of searching. I'm a troubleshooter, but I knew that wasn't much of an option this time, and you came in clutch.

[@ytsn_THE_OG]

@@ijfim had I not watched this, I probably would have taken apart the distributor, gotten new spark plugs, you name it.

[@karllogan7266]

Perfect, great video. Just what I needed to see!

[@Sly_Mango]

Clean your iac under the manifold intake. Also the pvc valve.

[@ijfim]

Cleaning and oiling the IAC VALVE guides and springs fixed the problem a while back. This was good advice…I have updated the description. Thank you for the helpful feedback!

Hey where you buy your front bumper from?

[@aero0494]

Did it fix your issue ?? I have a high idle issue atm always stays at around 1500 rpm. Sometimes a little lower but not much

[@ijfim]

I want to say it was reduced…but it still returns sometimes. If yours is happening all the time, it might be more of a vacuum leak. Start with cleaning your MAF, then check all the little hoses around the drivers side of the engine compartment. These little hoses sometimes cause phantom issues.

Hello, I have a Nissan Frontier from 1999 with a 3.3 engine and the map sensor distributor cap was changed and when it was turned on it exploded in the exhaust.

[@ijfim]

Dang! I guess the timing must have been off quite a bit. Is it normal now though?

[@Rockinsoul_]

torque convert solenoid code/shuddering. driving me bonkers. my mechanic says his transmission shop wont' even touch a Nissan transmissions. any tips ?

[@ijfim]

I fixed that problem on a dodge neon one time. The owner hit something and knocked the wire loose from the connector. Maybe your connector suffered some damage somehow. I would carefully inspect all wires before diving in to the transmission repair. Unplug and check for pin corrosion.

[@neoskater420]

Tell your mechanic it's a regular automatic transmission not the CVT they are assuming every Nissan has amd stop crying.

[@francislagace8411]

Woulda kinda liked to see if it fixed it

[@ijfim]

This didn’t fix my original high-idle problem, but oiling my idle air control valve springs and guides improved the idle greatly.

[@eazyev92]

How did you oil the iacv? Did you remove it?

[@ijfim]

Did not remove it, I oiled the visible springs and linkages.

[@eazyev92]

@@ijfimthanks for the quick reply. Are you talking about the fast idle cam? Would you mind taking a pic or video?

[@ijfim]

i am talking about the fast file cam. It has a plunger and a cam that moves the throttle when cold and hot. I don’t know if you can PM me through KZbin. Unfortunately, this medium doesn’t allow me to post anything other than typed responses.
