The first step is to check the error codes on the computer. I think the plug is Nissan Consult, not OBD so you will need to buy/borrow a cable and software. I recently spent about a month troubleshooting rough idling issue, serviced plugs, lead, dissy cap, air and fuel filters, etc. I checked and there were no error codes on the computer, I even used a different fuel pump, changed out air flow meter, throttle position sensor, coil but no luck. In the end it turned out to be a bad EFI computer

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Try spraying a bit of WD40 around the inlet manifold and vacuum components with the engine running. If the engine tone changes it means that the engine has sucked the spray in and is burning it as fuel.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I think some Super Cheap stores can check and erase any errors
Not sure if ECU talk would suit your Patrol maybe @Bob would be
able to confirm or deny if ecu talk is suitable.

Hey guys, I came from Indonesiaand this is also my 1st post. The reason I found this forum, excatly the same problem with my tb42e engine. The iddle is fluctuating and I found the injector #6 is not spraying. I have try to switch between them, and clearly its not the injector problem. It must be cable or sensor or ecu itself. Any body got any experience how to fix this? thanks
