Jalal, Marc,

It is a QR25DE.

Many thanks for the info. Still OK after starting the "beast" about ten times since returning from Nissan.

I was going to perform the "3 basic procedures" about the time it was posted, but kept delaying the process.

I have the ELM323 cable which hooks into the OBDll port. I think I can run the codes from the laptop. (BTW Jalal, did u finally get a laptop with the serial port ?). If not, then I think another friendly visit to our friends in Nissan.

As indicated by Jalal, I thought it was an O2 sensor malfunction originally. The lambda is hooked to one of the primaries (Right Side cylinder - No 4 ?). Cable is not sufficient long to place it "properly". However, been running it in this fashion for more than 6 months and didn't think the gizzmo would quit "all of a sudden". I may be proven wrong. (Yeah, it did cross my mind that it may be a P0135 in the begining)

Could be dirt "in all the right places". I was contemplating cleaning the throttle body during the 60,000 km service (method as prescribed by Jalal). I checked the plugs - got Nissan to pull them when I was in the workshop - looks OK.

But on the whole, I guess I really cannot fault the service crew - it was really "service with a smile". I guess they are not well trained. And that is the FAULT OF THE MANAGEMENT.

Many thanks again
Ken
