2007 Frontier rouch idle

ManicSquirrel · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2008, 04:47 PM

We have a 2007 Frontier V6 4x4 LE with about 30,000 miles on it. I drive it a couple time a month, but it mostly sits in the driveway. The idle seems to be pretty rough on it and you can feel it kind of vibrate when sitting at a stop light. the rpm's are normal and it runs fine. Is this just a normal thing for the truck or do they have any known issues regarding this kind of thing?

EDIT: rough idle....not rouch..damn

well i checked nissanhelp site for recalls and service bullitins for anything that has to do with vibration, and nothing found. can u feel it real well cause i know my maxima it will shake a lil but not too noticible. im guessing u dont have a CEL light on. does your truck sit for long periods of time with out starting??

it sits sometimes for a month without being started, i drove it about 30 miles and the idle was still rpetty rough, it might just be a truck thing, i'm not used to driving trucks at this point. and it goes away when it's in neutral or park

i would start it at least once a day and run it for a few minuts to make sure stuff doesnt seize up, since all the oil will drain to the pan by the time u go to start it.

^^ i was gonna say that but its only got 30 k on it. but it wouldnt be bad to check your sparks and air filter

it's going in for it's 30K service next month, that would probably be a good idea

I say take it in. When I own a car with a warranty i take it in for EVERYTHING. get that crap worked out before the warrant runs out. anyways. You may need to just reset the ecu, TPS settings and airflow meter calibration. It can all be done with a sequence of stomping brakes, turning the key on and off on the titan. Not sure what it is on your pathfinder.

u know what i just thought of, since your truck sits for a long period of time the fuel creates fumes/vapor and creates gunk but u can get this fuel stabalizer wich should prevent fuel from going bad. autozone sells it
