01 pathfinder 3.5 Is powerless above 3k

[spooolin]

Hey guys I Just bought a 01 pathfinder with 160k on it and it runs and drives great. Only problem is it has No power above 3-3500 RPM. at idle and just driving the engine is super smooth and has No hesitation off idle.

I cant seem to figure it out. Im almost thinking somthing to do with the Varible valve timing or somthing.

I just sold my TT 96 300ZX because I decided I wanted a better daily driver.

The truck is a 01 with the 3.5L 5 speed manual and the check engine light is NOT on.. soo im lost guys lol can you help?

When you get to the end, the guy's problem was a swirl control valve and actuator that were stuck closed.

I had the excact same issue with my truck for a while nowfrom 4000 rpm-redline pretty much nothing would happenno vvt nothing!

By some miracle i filled her up the other day and on my homei gave it a little gas and it was working perfectly fine eversince I was guessing the problem was fuel related,possibly a fuel filter or some sorth but guess not

btw what causes the swirl control valve and actuator to stick?i cant click the link cause on the iphone

thanks!
