It was 140.00 bucks, I hope that fixes it. The Nissan guy said it is not a common problem but he has replaced them before and if I was not getting a sevice engine soon light he would suspect that. I will let you know if that fixes it for future reference.

Well quit a bit has been offered to check but I still think you should check for codes that may be stored. Even though the service light is not on you may have something stored that could help. First I would check codes and write them down. Clear the codes and go drive around untill the fault returns. Recheck the codes and if any that would be the best starting point.
However, since the service light is not coming on (asuming the bulb is good?) I will aim towards things that might be missed by sensors.
First is the IAC valve wich is probably what you have on order (air regulator). These can cause your symptoms without any codes. Second thing I would check is if any wires may have been damaged during the body work. I have seen many electrical problems resulting from a fresh coat of paint at a grounding location. The paint can prevent electrical conduction. Also check closely for any cuts in the wires located near the repaires, this happens sometimes with out the bodyman knowing it.
For now I will wait to see how things go with the part you have ordored. But please do check for codes, it is a free service at some majore parts stores. It is hard for them to sell you a part if they don't know what you need!
As for the use of brake cleaner to check for leakes. Yes most brake cleaners are flammable, though it usually takes a flame or extream heat to ignite them. They like many chemicals vary from one product to the next and it is best to follow the lable warnings. I personaly like to use carb or intake cleaner, these are safe for the catalyst system. Either way the big risk is getting it on the exhaust manifold, it happened to me once, but I always work with an extinguisher nearby and keep one behind my seat as well.
