I have a 5 speed, V6 Crew Cab. The idle drops down real low when I push in the clutch, then "comes back" to normal. It feels acts like it wants to stall now and then when it does this.

I changed the fuel filter 2 days ago when it started doing this - didn't help.

Any suggestions? I'm preparing to replace the drivers side Cat converter; could this part being bad cause this issue?

Thanks.

Checking and/or adjusting the TPS is quite an involved process. Try cleaning the throttle blade and MAFS, be sure you are using a Genuine Nissan oil impregnated air filter.

Where is the throttle blade? Is the MAFS connected to the hose directly after the air filter, up top?

"Duralast/Throttle Position Sensor" - - - Changing this sensor is a detailed process?

In all honesty, if you don't know, your vehicle needs professional help.

Again,it is about a 14 step process to install, adjust, perform idle memory, etc. Best done at a competent dealer.
