My daily driver is an 11/01 Nissan Maxima S A33 with a VQ30DE 3 litre motor.

I purchased it S/H when it had 85,000 km on it. Overall it is a satisfactory unit.

However at 118,000 km the idle speed assembly windings burnt out, along with the idle speed controller on the ECU. When this happened the motor idled at around 1800 rpm with a lot of surging. After a lot of searching the trouble was found and the damaged parts replaced.

Now at 125,000 it has done the same thing again! Anyone have any ideas on what could be the cause? I run it partly on 92RON fuel and also on 95RON. My mechanic says the lower grade fuel should not be making any difference. What do you guys think?

Thanks for that- I will follow up that lead. In the meantime if any other members have had the same experience and details of how they solved the problem I would be pleased to hear from them.

Maybe I'm biassed, but I think it is a cut above the usual Falcodore.

Sure maybe the first one failed due to old age- but the second 7,000 km later? That's the challenge to diagnose the trouble.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.

      It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
