      So update on issue. I tried several things and I was unable to get this corrected so back to the Dealer it went. They replaced the timing chain and the sprockets on the cams and the problem was still present. They then dropped my Automatic Tranny and found a cracked flex plate. Flex plate was cracked around the center bushing completely. New flex plate installed and a new torque converter and they claim it is fixed. Pick it up tomorrow and we will see.

      So happy I paid extra for the extended warranty! banana:

              Nickwarner what year nissans? I have a dreaded 2007 Pathfinder that is missing and a rough idle and it is driving me nuts. It also came with the bad radiator and a bad timing belt. I had a 04 Quest that I thought was the biggest piece of crap on the road but this Pathfinder is gaining ground quickly.

                          Ya had me go check to make sure I was using the correct viscosity and thankfully I am. I was pretty sure but the question made me double check. I did check the timing of both banks with the Solus and noticed bank 2, which was my code, was running slightly higher then the timing in back 1. Bank 2 was up around 27 and bank 1 was around -1 to 1. So I removed the solenoid and cleaned it up. Seemed ok. Reinstalled and tested again and both banks are running around the same between -1 and 1. Still rough idle. I haven’t had time to put any kind of miles on yet. I was also told to remove both battery cables and touch them together to clean out my memory and see if the engine was still compensating for the off balance. Going to see if I can do a power balance test if I can get to all the coils since they are sitting on top of the plugs and not real easy to get to.

                              Ok changed the oil and reset the code. It still idles rough. Was told by a tech that the screen normally gets clogged with gunk. It would just happen to be on the side that isn’t easy to get to as well. Well Tuesday after work I will start the tare down to see if I can’t locate the problem.

                              Stay tuned for more AS THE NISSAN BURNS~.

                                  College man, thanks for the interesting read. It would piss me off if the engine was gummed up since I am a big Pennzoil fan and only ever used it. I am also religious about changing my oil every 3k. But you never know. Also I do have a Solus Pro (that I am learning with) so the readings there give me something to compare with. I will also clear the code and see if anything changes but after I try the oil change first. Thanks and I will post once done with these tasks.
