Having some low idle issues with my X and wanted to get your opinions.

Background - I was having high idle issues recently, engine would sit at 2k+ rpms even after fully warming up. I took it to a friend who is a nissan tech and he said there was an issue with the wax valve and thermostat and it was throwing codes p1126 and p0325. He helped me replace the parts on the side and car seemed to drive fine. Noticed it idling a bit low, but nothing too alarming.

Fast forward to today and car is having low idle/ stalling issue after driving for an extended period for first time since the fix.I'm revving in the vid just to show issue. The car eventually stalls after a few seconds of sitting at idle. The issue only happens after the car is warm, cold start is perfectly normal.

Can I make any type of adjustments here to raise the idle? Or is it possible that additional parts need to be replaced?

Been working on a very similar situation. See this post: http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=97434&page=2


Now, I ask that you have your Nissan mechanic friend (or you) to check your TIMING and/or distributor function. I believe it is important to start here for the safety of the engine despite what other 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7 things people may try to do instead before timing :D


Worse news would be that maybe it has an oil pump problem which will tend to show up commonly not until vehicle warms up.

Please let us know what you find out. ;)
