Nissan APP's almost never go bad, so I'm not surprised that wasn't it. There are a limited number of things which can go wrong that the ECM can't verify. Since it's happening intermittently while underway, it probably isn't the MAF or fuel pump. TB's usually stick at the bottom and not on the highway, and in any case that would throw codes. So the most likely culprits are a cam or crank sensor starting to go south but not flatlined yet, and the ECM doesn't know what to do with the inconsistent signal.AZSentra wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 8:10 amOnly thing I've tried so far is swap out the gas pedal assembly with the original from my 2017 that I had replaced trying to rule it out as the source of a different problem. I'm going to replace the air filter this weekend (I haven't yet since I bought it) and clean the MAF. I may just buy a low mile replacement throttle body from LKQ to rule that out since they're only $40.
Anyone ever experience this and figure it out? Any other suggestions?
I never even thought of one of those being possible. So you think that my releasing and pressing the gas pedal has nothing to do with it?VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 8:44 amSo the most likely culprits are a cam or crank sensor starting to go south but not flatlined yet, and the ECM doesn't know what to do with the inconsistent signal.
Failing Hall sensors can do some of the goofiest and most inexplicable things imaginable. I recall one R51 I worked on where the left bank cam sensor was reading a full 24 degrees out, but only between about 1500 and 3000 RPM and not every time. Go figure, but all I can really tell you is that magnetism is invisible. If you have a streaming scanner that can read cam angles, put up the cam along with the engine RPM and see if either one of them gets weird when the problem occurs.
No such luck. I'll probably just spring for a couple online and see how it goes. Thanks for the input. I'll let everyone know how it goes in a couple of weeks.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 9:11 amIf you have a streaming scanner that can read cam angles, put up the cam along with the engine RPM and see if either one of them gets weird when the problem occurs.
