Badieboy 1st Gear November 6, 2014 Share November 6, 2014 How long has it been since you cleaned your throttle body? Clean it plus clean the idle air control valve. The valve is choked with carbon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWind 4th Gear November 6, 2014 Share November 6, 2014 If your engine rpm is fluctuating, it maybe an ecu problem. Get the car towed back to nissan fer assessment Latio bro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic November 7, 2014 Share November 7, 2014 Hi Anyone knows what the reason. Was waiting for traffic light , idling and car died off. Then start but next traffic light .. same thing happen Is it battery low ? Not battery. ECU or idling valve controlling air passage is not working properly. Due to lack of air, the engine dies. Could be due to dirty throttle body or the valve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL173 1st Gear November 7, 2014 Share November 7, 2014 Likely due to idle control valve, but do the cleaning on throttle body & control valve 1st. Best to strip the throttle body & control valve for thorough cleaning. If you have technical skillset, you can do it yourself else you have to bring it to workshop to do... and probably, let them diagnose 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic November 7, 2014 Share November 7, 2014 Usually it's the Mass Air Flow sensor or MAF sensor requires some cleaning. Bring to a mechanic have him spray some MAF sensor cleaner on it. Change the Engine air filter while you are there. If you have been servicing your car regularly and air filter replace periodically you won't have all the what MAF sensor or throttle body dirty. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
