Just thought I'd share with you some very handy info I was given tonight (by a Nissan tech).
Its easy to check the ecu fault codes - something I didn't realise. I believe the below would also be in the manual... (btw MIL = Malfunction Indicator Lamp - otherwise known as CEL / Check Engine Light - its orange and on the right hand side of the dash in the M35). ACCESSING: NOTE: To access trouble codes, accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor must be functioning correctly.
ERASING:
Mine showed the code 0000 (10 flashes x 4 times) so didn't solve the problem I was looking for but at least I know all the sensors are working etc.  |

Just realised the above is all in the manual. For those who dont know, you can find all of this an much more related info in the infinit G35 service manual which you can find online - do a google search. The infiniti G35 is what we know as the skyline V35.
There's also more diagnostics for checking fault codes on other systems in the car too. |

I managed to get it to work eventually for me and got 0000 also.
No closed to knowing why idle is 150rpm too high but I will start looking for leaks around the throttle body and a few other areas. Cheers Andy -------------------- Xanavi Language Conversion Now Available

QUOTE (zei20l @ 18 Mar 2009, 10:13 AM)  it was weird i tried that so many times and it didnt work on mine Did you get it to the point where the MIL start flashing? Read below for the plain english version...(by me)... You may need to use a stopwatch or something to count the seconds. Turn ignition to ON (dont start engine). Wait 3 seconds Then over the next 5 seconds, push the accelerator all the way to the floor and then release it fully - do this 5 times quickly within these 5 seconds. Then wait a further 7 seconds. Now push the accelerator all the way to the floor again and hold it for 10 seconds until the MIL starts flashing. When you see it start to flash after 10 seconds, release the accelerator straight away the light should then keep blinking - giving you the fault codes. it will flash up 4 codes, pausing between each. it will blink slowly for the first group, then fast for the next 3 groups. 10 flashes in a group = '0'. ie. code 0123 would be 10 flashes, pause, 1 flash, pause, 2 flashes, pause, 3 flashes, long pause, repeat... turn the ignition to OFF when you're done - this will exit the diagnostic mode. next time you start the car it will be back in the normal driving mode. |

I just gave it a go myself, first time I didn't get it to work.
Then I closed the driver's door incase that had anything to do with it and when I counted the seconds I used the old school method (1001, 1002, 1003 etc.) It worked and I also got a return code of 0000 This is a good thing I assume! -------------------- Regards

Good work on this, I've added it to the Stagea DIY section under "ECU."
