For some time now, my idle simply dies. Cold or warm engine it suddenly dies.
I looked for anything wrong or disconnected, removed and cleaned the IACV
and motor, nothing helped. Sometimes it does it more often than others.
I think it happens more often when warm, but I am not sure.
Above 1100RPM it works fine. At idle if I am quick and hit the gas when it starts dying, it picks up and runs like everything is ok, a few seconds later it may suddenly die.
Please help, It can't continue like this.

Sounds like a loose vacuum hose.

If it is, it is well hidden. I have checked for vacuum leaks.
I do see the need for a more carefull inspection. This weekend
I'll go through with a fine tooth comb.
Any other possibilities?
Thanks.

Does it starts from the first time?
Or sometimes you have to start it twice?
and what year is your max?

max556

It starts right away every time.
It is a 2000, the problem is intermittent.
I have good days and bad days where I have to restart constantly.

You need to have the computer readings from a Nissan dealer; you could have an intake air leak- a bad AIrflow meter -a bad throttle air regulator some of them leak antifreeze in the intake and short out the ECU also.
