I took delivery of a 2014 Frontier King cab SV on Feb 15.2014
There is an intermittent issue with the throttle 4.0 l V6 5 Speed Automatic
Especially when cold I can depress the gas pedal 1/2 inch and nothing happens, then suddenly it takes off.
I'v had it to the dealer twice and since there is no Check Engine light illuminated, their so called "Mechanics" don't know what to do. Anyone have a similar experience and what was the fix?
Thanks

Sounds like you need to take it to another Nissan dealer. If a tech can't diagnose a problem without a check engine light then they have no business being a tech. Not all issues cause a check engine light. Get a second opinion for sure.

I will second that .I have an 87 z2.4I pickup d21 and even I can read diagnostic codes.I dont always trust my computer .Mechanic has to dive in there and look at the basics and the obvious .You got lame mechanics that just hired on.i would start with vacuum and then check all electrical connections
