Hey you guys,

I'm appealing to the Nissan gods again. I have a 06 pathy with less than 50k When it idles it seems to idle down far and starts to vibrate... Seems like it might have something to do with voltage because if I pull up on the window switches to raise the windows with them already up, the voltmeter on the dash drops some and the engine bogs down. I need to get a voltage tester and see if the alternator is in fact loosing voltage or amperage. Any help would be great. Thanks you guys.

I had the same issue. With my 08 Path. I felt as though it was the same issue that you describbed. I took it into my local mechanic and he said it was a dirty throttle body. Sprayed some cleaner in side, and cleaned all of the black residue off. It was getting stuck and not popping back into place after I released the pedal. Hope this helps.

I have a 01 qx4 which was leaking oil.The shop replaced valve gasquets and they had to do it twice because it was still leaking .when i took the car home it was vibrating .The next morning as soon as I started the car ,it vibrated alot that it almost shut off, but vibrated less when the engin got hot . I told the shop ,and they kept saying That i need to clean my fuel injector .I told them that the problem started when they worked on the car ,but they would not admit it. later on I had to take it back because I started hearing a strange loud noise coming from the rigtside of engin which I knew it was a massive air leak . It turned out that they cracked an intake hose when the removed the intake twice.They replaced the hose and the car started idling fine now.hope this helps

Dont vacuum leaks only cause the car to idle HIGHER though?
