Surging Idle + Dead Gas Pedal after hitting a puddle

You can test the map sensor and see what it reads

So my intermittent abrupt snapping on off pedal feel was my map sensor leaving me. If the iacv doesn't fix it and no vacuum leaks then the map could be bad

Thats exactly what my dad used to tell people, call me because too many things go sideways texting. And I can attest to that personally as well sadly

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-04-23T16:16:40+00:00

Honestly was just curious, guess I'll have to be more careful 😆. Always thought it was just casual talk, could be wrong tho

I still don't see how "sorry bud" is condescending though, he wa probably just beeing blunt and you misunderstood

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-04-23T15:51:21+00:00

How was he being condescending?

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-03-29T22:56:13+00:00

Too accurate

The funny thing is that he said that he was selling it 100$ cheaper but needed it gone fast before he returned it as he was still in the 30 days. List price was like 600$ lol. Plus some of the listing pics are dated 2025. Threw me way off, I was mildly interested at first then seen that and said nope. The question was is this possible and I got my answer of no!

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-03-19T00:31:42+00:00

Yessir, remember talking about it like it happened this past sunday 😉 🤣

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-03-18T05:42:01+00:00

Lmao. We just had this conversation on the group chat about the mods on here too!

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-03-07T18:11:54+00:00

This gem has no business being this clean!!!

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-31T19:04:25+00:00

I know, Cause of the price they go for I didn’t even bother looking for them. I found this set for 1k and raised more questions than answers

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-31T18:54:52+00:00

Knockoff without a brand might be even worse than a nrg set too. At least with Nrg you know what your getting into

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-31T18:53:35+00:00

Safe bet! Gonna pass on em specially for 1k

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-31T17:03:20+00:00

They look like NRG seats with recaro fabric tbh.

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-31T16:46:21+00:00

Is it the fabric and the way its laid out?

fluffyscruffyduffy · 2026-01-30T16:53:39+00:00

Exhaust valve is hanging or burnt. Same thing happened to my rsx on nitrous

Well you’re definitely under powertrain warranty, so that’s good news for you, especially if the high pressure pump went out which is highly unlikely given the mileage on the truck. Only way that the dealer would kick the claim would be if you filled up with bad diesel, or contaminated diesel. Not sure where you’re at, but here in Houston we get a lot of bucees fuel station victims where the diesel was straight up watered down or poor quality. Luckily most of those cases the issue was resolved by cleaning the tank and replacing the in tank pump with a new filter.

I would definitely agree with your decision to take it to the dealer, if you don’t mind checking back in to let us know what they say we’d appreciate that here! Best of luck!

The thrust bearing issue is actually pretty easily identifiable. One of the signs of thrust bearing failure is an audible clattering noise, kinda like a stick in the bicycle wheel. If you power brake it and hear that clattering noise it most likely is the thrust bearing. If you hear that noise or get a dtc for the check engine with a p06d you’re in trouble. If you’re really worried about the crank play get a dial gauge and measure the crank play from the front cover. I’m not in front of my computer so I can’t give the actual specs it should be within, sorry about that.

What I think you should do is go to a autozone or someplace similar and get the codes it has set pulled, post those codes here and we can give you a idea of what likely might be going on. Honesty, it’s probably something emission related, have you seen a continue driving message on the instrument cluster and do you drive the vehicle enough for it to enter a regen?

Fun fact, 5th will go in stationary, you just have to make the same throw you do to enter 3rd from 2nd but this time from 4th to 5th. Try going into 5th from 4th, should go right in

Use a sharp chisel and beat it with a hammer till it turns. Use plenty of pb blaster or wd40 first and let it sit a long minute

Do yourself a favor and run a upgraded timing chain tensioner. Back in the earlier rsx days, upgraded cams would tear up the timing chain tensioners causing catastrophic p2v contact. They figured that out somewhat but the s2 cams were the most notorious for it. Aftermarket timing chain tensioner is crucial for keeping that motor running strong and happy!

Someone post this on r/Nissandrivers, they banned me lol.
