Hey guy,

just been experiencing this issue within the last couple days.....when i step on brake harder, car will goes under-rev at below 1000 rpm (normal idle at approx 2000~4000 rpm), then the handbrake and battery-like light came up...and if i dont step on the pedal to bring up the rev the car went stalled....

stalled has only happened twice so far, but iam still worry about it bcoz it never happen before

Its 2002 350GT-8, i am just about going for 90000km service...anyone got ideas on what might going wrong so i can tell the mech to check/repair

cheers

I had similar problem last year with my M35.

Firstly your idle should be 650rpm +-50. So a max of 700 and a min of 600 when in Neutral. If you idle is up around 2000 rpm it sounds like you have a similar problem.

On the left bank of the motor when looking from the front is the PCV valve. This item is meant to be replaced around the 80k mark and when it fails it makes setting the idle impossible. The item is about $50 from Nissan and can be replaced by anyone including your self.

Have a read of this thread

It is all about what happened with my car.

Once the PCV is replaced they will need to do an idle air learning and idle reset done to the car.

You should also look at cleaning your throttle body as this can also effect the car when you step off the throttle.

I would suggest you do the 2 different things separately so that you can determine what is causing the problem.

whoopppsss.......just noticed I type extra digits for the rev...==' sorry it was early in the morning...

and now i cant edit the original post....

UPDATE:

just been experiencing this issue within the last couple days.....when i step on brake harder, car will goes under-rev at below "100 rpm (normal idle at approx 200~400 rpm)"

so this might rule out the possible PCV issue?

not really.... that idle is too low so some thing is out.

If the idle does not set between 600-700 then the computer does not remember the idle setting and other factors are dictating your idle.

2 factors caused the same problem on my car but I can not tell you which one was more important to fix but both have their issues.

1) the throttle body had a build up of residue that meant when you back off the throttle the butterfly closing meant no air could get around it and the motor stalled as per yours. The butterfly on these cars do not close 100% as there is no idle bypass.

So clean your throttle body and I think you will find this stops the revs dipping.

The second issue is why your idle is not set correctly.

When your throttle body is like this and closes 100% when backed off the car draws air from the only other available source which is the PCV valve. I believe this causes them to not work correctly and they are a part that is meant to be replaced around the 80k mark.

If the PCV allows air to pass through it al low revs it stuffs up the idle setting.

If you want to test if the PCV is faulty you can disconnect the PCV from the manifold, block off both ends, and try to reset the idle. If this gets the idle set correctly (600-700 rpm) then you know the PCV is faulty and you can order a new one.

I hope this helps.

While you are there, as Andy said, clean the throttle body and spray the airflow meter with some cleaner. Either of these could be the problem too.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
