I'm having idle,running issues with Daddy's truck and it seems the more I do,the worse it goes soooo, here is what is happening with a build up to this weekend's bullcrap.
in the weeks just short the hurricane,I had a local shop go in and replace the power steering pump.While in there,I had them do the timming belt/water pump,belt's/hoses,etc etc to the front of the engine.I picked her up the thursday before the storm and man it ran good. Drove it to work on friday and all was good.Storm here on saturday and it didn't move till early sunday morning when called in to do repairs on water mains. She sat at the office from sunday morning till the following monday (8 days) at the office since we were on the south side of the river stuck doing repairs while the Neuse cut us off from the north side due to flooding. When I got in and drove her home , the idle had gone to crap. Idle was soo bad,it would shake at a light. Decided to do a light cleaning to the inside of the throttle body. Got the appropriate cleaner and sprayed the inside and whipped out the carbon build up and boy did things go south from there.
The first code it kicked out was a bad I.A.T. sensor and I replaced it.No code afterward but idle at cold would be near 2000 rpms and slowly drop as engine temps would build.Drive here cold and it would hunt a idle when at a stop.It would lope from 800 to 2000 rpms. Once warmed up,it would idle ok .Cut it off and crank back up,it would lope once or twice and then settle out. I should have left that alone but nooooooo.
Yesterday I changed out the TPS. I't worse now. Keeps kicking out a code for the TPS. If I crank up cold,still 2000 rpms till it warms up. Idle drops down to normal but is rough. If I shift from neutral to 1st thru 5th gear,the rpms jump from idle to 2000rpms with out me touching the gas pedal. It does it after warm up. If the shifting is done before a full warm up, it seems not to do it.Then also as I roll up to a stop light, it maintains 2000 rpms till I come to a complete stop and then drops to idle as long as I'm in neutral. Why the hell is this sumbitch even thinking of doing that crap.
Since cleaning the throttle body,I have found out that with nissan's,that's a nono. My wrangler,done it several times and no issues other than running better. I've googled it and went thru the parameters to get the computer to relearn the tps. Unhooked battery over night and did the on/off sequence with the key switch. It's aggravatig to drive now.Not impossible.Just aggravating.
Ideas? Can't just shoot it or put gas to it.
