the engine tries to stall when i pull away, it does my head in (one of the reasonsi want rid of my car), its done it on and off since ive had it, sometimes i wiggle wires and it works fine then it goes back to running crap

 

ive sorted all the other problems, it revs great and pulls well

 

its also started to miss on tick over when cold :headvswal

I hate them kinda probs where it could be a number of things and this is one of them :(

ive got a slight hesitation when pulling off but ive got so used to driving it like that now.

gggrrrrrr

its doing my head in, i have to ride the clutch everytime i pull away

 

im sure its soething to do with the idle valve, but cant pin point exacttly what it is

bit hard to diagnose without being there but possible causes air leak buggered iacv dirty throttle bodies leaking d/v?

less of the abbreviatins please lol, im not that clever

 

cant seem to find any leaks (or at least hear any)

idle air control valve like you thought errrm d/v dump valve first port of call take the pipe off the throttle bodies and clean them out with carb cleaner give them a good clean out and see how it is if you suspect an air leak trace the pipe right back to where it starts and pinch it in various places to see if that makes it better or pull the pipe off you suspect and see if it makes a diference also an aftermarket boost gauge will show up leaks the more vac you pull the better like i say its harder when im not there hth

it does bud, will have a look at the weekend

 

anymore please

I had the same problem with mine - it turned out to be the TPS needing realigning

do a boost leak test and go from there ! start simple !

I'd go with TPS mate, the symptoms you describe point to that

Mine was idle control valve sticking solid- just replaced with good S/C hand one.

mine started doing this , but only does is 1st thing when its cold , soon as its warm its fine

Yep same here, check the voltage, if it can't be adjusted to get to that level it's knackered. Try to get a new one if possible i've had 3 second hand ones and they don't last long

cheers guys, will look into it

Same here.....

 

......I bought a new throttle position sensor and got my local Nissan garage to set it up to the factory settings (3 years ago) and it has been fine since.

hmmm, maybe look into this a bit further

I had exactly the same fault and yes it did my head in! It turned out to be the airflow meter. Power at higher revs was down too though.
