SYMPTOM When the engine is first started after the vehicle has sat overnight, customers may “feel” the release of the throttle plate through the accelerator pedal. Some describe it as a one-time “pop” sensation. Customers may have trouble explaining this phenomenon because: They can’t repeat it because it only happens one time, when the engine is cold. The accelerator pedal works normally at all other times. There are no other symptoms. It may be intermittent, happening only during cooler weather. PROBABLE CAUSE The symptom is caused by normal buildup of contaminants in the throttle bore, combined with expansion and contraction of the throttle body. CORRECTIVE ACTION Partially remove the throttle body, and clean it with Honda carburetor cleaner or throttle plate and induction cleaner. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Remove the breather tube from the air intake duct, unclip the vacuum lines from the duct, and remove the duct from the throttle body. See Fig. 1 . Fig. 1: Removing Air Intake Duct 2. Disconnect the TPS and MAP connectors from the throttle body. 3. Remove the throttle cable and, if equipped, the cruise control actuator cable from the throttle body. 4. Remove the throttle body mounting nuts and bolts, then slide the throttle body off its studs on the intake manifold chamber. Leave the coolant hoses connected. See Fig. 2 . 5. Put a shop towel under the throttle body, open the throttle, then clean out any contaminants from the intake manifold side of the throttle body with carburetor cleaner or throttle plate and induction cleaner. See Fig. 3 . NOTE: To avoid damaging the idle air control valve (IACV), spray the cleaner through the back of the throttle body, not the front.

1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, disconnect the negative battery cable, relieve fuel system pressure and drain engine coolant, referring to the appropriate vehicle service manual for the procedure on doing so. 2. First the factory manifold must be removed using the following steps, for specific details and instructions refer to the factory service manual. 3. Remove the turbo intercooler (top mount only) and air intake duct. 4. Disconnect all the wiring harness connections, noting where each goes. 5. Remove the bolts holding accessories and brackets to the manifold. 6. Disconnect all vacuum lines from the manifold, noting where each goes. 7. Remove the tumbler valve bolts connecting them to the heads, keeping the intake bolted to the top of the tumbler valve. In some cases it may be easier to remove the tumbler valves from the intake manifold. 8. Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel rail assembly located on the driver side by the firewall, placing clean shop towels around the fuel lines to catch any gasoline that may be spilled during their removal 9. Carefully lift off the intake manifold, tumbler valve, OE fuel rail assembly. 10. Remove the three bolts holding the OE fuel lines to the bottom of the intake manifold. 11. Remove the four bolts holding the OE fuel rails to the tumbler valves. 12. Remove the OE fuel rail assembly from the intake manifold assembly, being careful not to damage the fuel injector pipe insulator between the bottom of the OE fuel rail and the tumbler valve. Fuel Injector Pipe Insulator 13. Remove each of the injector spring clips.

Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall on model year 2003 – 2007 Murano vehicles. Under certain conditions, the intake duct, which is connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This could cause minor idle fluctuation or poor acceleration. If this occurs, and the vehicle continues to be driven without being serviced, the engine may stall while driving. To remedy this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace the air intake duct with an updated part and the air duct clamps with new clamps at no charge for parts or labor. SERVICE PROCEDURE CAUTION: Do not use any lubricant when removing or installing the air ducts and resonators. Lubricant may adversely affect the ducts and resonators. 1. Disconnect the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose from resonator 1. 2. Loosen the clamps shown in Figure 1 (clamps at both ends of the air duct assembly). 3. Remove the air duct assembly from the vehicle and set it on a clean working surface. 4. After removing the air duct assembly, cover the openings to the electronic control throttle and airflow meter with clean cloth / rags. CAUTION: • Make sure to cover the openings to the electronic control throttle and airflow meter. • Covering the openings will prevent debris entry. 5. Loosen both wire clamps shown in Figure 2 (clamps on both sides of resonator 1). 6. Replace the wire clamp on air duct B. a. Pull air duct B away from resonator 1 just enough to remove the old wire clamp and install a new one. • Bend the old wire clamp so it cannot be reused. b. Reconnect air duct B to resonator 1. CAUTION: Before installing air duct B, use a clean cloth / rag to wipe away any debris from the duct and resonator.
