Hey guys,

car's been running fine (although idle aways sat up at 1000 :happy:) anyway today driving to work I got a few kilometers down the road and pulled up to some lights and the idle dropped down to 1500 or so instead of the usual 1000. For the rest of the trip it stayed at 1500 idle. When I drove back home this afternoon it started up and idled fine however again after the car warmed up the idle went back to 1500. Any ideas?

So you start the car of a morning, and it idles at 1000RPM when cold.

THEN

Once warm it USED to idle around 750RPM? but now it's idling at around 1500RPM?

By the sounds of things, as the metals are warming up, they're expanding, which can usually BLOCK air leaks, but it might be causing one for you.

Check for vac leaks.

Couple of things.

1)TPS not set correectly, i assume GTRs have them aswell

2)Water temp sensor bugared

3)Cold Start Valve not closing

4)First Idle Controll Device, FICD, solenoid, not working (as is the case in my car)

5)A vacuume leak somewhere.

Yeah I thought it was the throttles however by reving the car around a bitter and playing with the throttle nothing seems to be wrong, futher the idle is very reliable at 1500. It hasn't been a progressive change.. it just happened yesterday while driving.

    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
