I still can't find my PCV
I still can't find my PCV valve. My book tells me where it is but I can't find it.

On your 2.4L your PCV will look....

That doesn't exactly help
That doesn't exactly help since it's screwed in into the breather/separator.
Anyway I found it. I had the Hayne's manual and it was for the 1993-2001 altima. The problem was that Nissan updated the breather/separator so the breather/separator looks completly different on my car. But I found a pic of the head off and the PCV attached to it. So I looked at the same parts in the back of my car and found it hidden by a couple of parts. I think that Hayne's should updated their manual a lot more than just putting codes from the 1998+ altima. It will be a pita to replace, I heard that it could take an afternoon. Maybe my mpg will go up a little since I replaced all the stuff except the PCV valve. |
Re: Don't forget the FITV!

The car runs, but after it warmed up today I noticed a surging idle problem. Since it happened after the car was warm it probably isn't the FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve), but is the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve). It's also possible that it's just a vacuum leak. I'll try to diagnose it later tonight. |

I really don't want to take off my IACV and clean it... what a pain. |
Find where your throttle
Find where your throttle cable attaches to the throttle body. There should be a dashpot right by it that can open the throttle plate a little bit [you can see the arm that pushes down on the part where the cable attaches]. My vacuum line going to this was not rubber, but rather some kind of plastic. It had a big kink in it that was permanent due to the vacuum line becoming less flexible over time. I just replaced the line and no more surging idle. If you need more detail, I can probably take some shots of it.
