G'day I am just after some advice on my 2007 gu Nissan
patrol. I have just recently had my vehicle fitted with the new accelerator pedal (due to recall) at a local Nissan business in south australia and my vehicle hasn't been running well since. When the vehicle is cold it will start fine and idle fine but when driven a few hundred meters or when changing gears between 1st and 2nd gear it will shut down as if the ignition has been turned off.
Sometimes it may do this a couple of times but once it gets going the car runs fine. I would take vehicle back to port Augusta agent but when I
got my vehicle back from them I drove back to quorn approximately 40kms and
found that they had left one of the injector return lines unlplugged which
had sprayed diesel all over engine bay and up the back of vehicle. The reason why they had touched this was to do an injector function test after I
had told them not to worry about as the vehicle had been running fine for well over a thousand kms. The vehicle had a minor flutter while climbing a
steep rise weeks before and lost a little power but didn't present the problem again so cancelled the inspection but they went ahead with it anyway. weather this was a communication issue with the girl on the desk and the mechanics I don't know but I did see the girl take note of the
cancellation. I have taken the vehicle to another 4wd mechanic and he found
an air leak from the hoses to the fuel filter but the stalling issue still remains. I'm thinking this May be an electrical issue can u please help as I am moving my young family to a station in Western Australia next month and need my vehicle running as good and reliably as it was before the recall.
Cheers Ray
