:D yea i fixed my stumbling and it was not what i thought it was. The problem that i thought it was the pcv valve but i took it out and it was fine so a had one and changed it any way. Next it took the number 4 spark plug out and looked to see if it was dusted or oily but it was fine so i broke out the trusty nissan service manual and looked for the sparkplug gap which was supose to be like .08mm and the plugs read like 1.30 so i crimped all of them back them down and re gaped them and the car runs like brand new again.. thank god!!

Really!?!? Maybe I'll have to recheck the gaps in my plugs. I'm almost positive I have them to 0.034". But, maybe I messed up. Does anyone that have Bosch plugs notice that they need a different gap than the ngk's? The autozone near me was out of ngk. So, I figured the bosch's were good enough for the winter or whatever.
Now that I think of it. This stumbing could also be a sign that the plug wires are dying. Might be worth a change.....

Ever heard of the metric system? .8mm is about .032". He misplaced a decimal point in the first post.

Hey blitz4x, what kind of stumbling were u having. my DET is doing some weird shit. I adjusted my idle about 3 times and everytime I go for a drive the idle goes back up to 1500rpm and then the longer I drive the lower it gets(sometimes stalls). And sometimes on neutral the car revs itself between 2000-1500 rpms :confused: i just changed my AAC valve but I dont see the progress. I guess plugs are next on the list :mad:

My 1991 240SX did this. Ended up needing the MAF ground rework and the TPS replaced and adjusted (all under warranty).
It was weird letting off the throttle on my 240 and instead of having the car slow down, it just kept going at whatever speed it was at - kind of like having the cruise control on.

On a real cold day my car would rev up to 2k but afer about a minute it would go down by its self, but i will try the regrounding thing if it realy gets to me...
