could be related to the U-TEC also, seeing as how it does have idle control functions(I.E cold start, a/c bump etc)

After dropping in a new long block, replacing the knock sensor, clearning the MAF and throttle body...the car STILL has the stalling problem. Engine is throwing NO CODES.
The car just dies, or hesitates when accelerating when its about to die.
Car is out of 3 year warrantly, and Nissan Canada has said that they cannot cover what they cannot find.
The dealership has given me the go ahead to bump up the idle, at a charge of 30 mins labour (i will fight this!).
What should i set the idle at? 800 or 900 rpms?
Will this have a significant impact on gas mileage.
You guys have been a great help...thanks in advance!

followup on idle stall
Just wanted to followup. Finally gave in and paid for the the technosquare reflash to raise the idle. The idle stall issue is completely resolved. Thank goodness it wasn't anything more expensive. The idle was set at 900 rpm.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.

hmm, i think i am starting to see the symptoms of what is going on with your car in my car. its making me very concerned but its not bad enough where i can claim there is a problem. seems like compression issues/oil blow-by for sure, issue is i am nearing my warranty expiration... guess i will just make a big fuss about it and make them take record of it so when it does get bad, i have some proof that it was a pre-existing condition. um if your car has 13k on it and its new... they should not be charging you for anything short of it being your fault, my 2 cents.

My problem started after adding a lighter flywheel and clutch. My tuner said this could happen with lighter flywheels. I guess its worth the technoflash since it included a performance tune.

Problem is back...
They dealership said that they raised the idle, however, its hard to tell from just looking at the needle.
I am contemplating on whether to purchase a Cipher and go at it myself.
Question: If i raise the idle with the Cipher, will it go back to stock after a ECU reset?
Thanks again,

1500 mile followup
The car still runs great. The technosquare flash even gave me better gas mileage from 18 to 19.5 on the average. I was afraid that the increase in idle would make the mpg worse. The GTM Exedy clutch definitely requires a breakin, it finally feels more like stock now after 1500 miles except no more clutch slip.

Damn, my car just started idling irregularly and stalling today while coming home from work. I guess I'll have to do some cleaning after work tomorrow and hope for the best.
