when i have been pulling into the carport after work, as i slow down and near full lock and just let the auto pull me into the parking space, the car shudders and looses rpm

i have only noticed this of late with the need to use aircon.

i'm thinking it is the engine at idle turning both the powersteering pump and a/c compressor making it hesitate

is it an issue, common, really worth me worrying?

does it do it any other times? I had an issue where the steering would cause it to lose revs and sometimes stall when driving at low speeds, and very often when pulling into my driveway in a block of units (full lock one way then the other).

First I had the power steering fluid flushed (that was all nissan could find) which kind of alleviated the problem ever-so-slightly for a few days...and then it was back again.

But it turned out to be a build-up of black around the butterfly on the intake, making the butterfly sticky and so it couldn't adjust the idle quick enough. The M35 has no idle air bypass valve so it relies on the ecu adjusting the throttle to let the right amount of air in.

If you have some time, remove the throttle body and give it a good clean out. This fixed the issue 100% for me and straight after that it idled perfectly every time. I did have to do the idle-relearn procedure afterwards to make it idle at the right revs again (i think there's a sticky in the DIY or servicing section at the top of the forum).

Some other guys had the same or similar problem although not all of them were the same cause...

If you find the solution, let us know :cool:

thanks for that - it is very occasional but when it happens you notice it.

i'll give that a try one day when i'm bored and inspired - it causes no issues, just curious to why.

your example seams very plausable i'll try that first

cheers

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
