Hi, has anyone experienced this problem? my 2002 pathfinder le wants to keep going when I brake. rpm stays at about 1000rpm and if I put it into neutral it races to about 2000 rpm drops to about 1750 for half a second then back to 2000 and repeats this until I punch the gas pedal then it will settle down to normal. This is really messing with my fuel economy. Thanks in advance for any help on this one Chris :confused:

Almost sounds like it could be a Throttle Position Sensor. I would test the voltages at the sensor to see if they're surging when this problem is happening.
