vtc strangeness (a brand new kind of it!)
i grounded my vtc's and they were doing great for a while. then my engine started to hesitate a little, both at low low rpm's (i.e. from a stop) and at a few points further up on the tach. i thought it might be due to the grounding so i disconnected the ground wire expecting things to go back to normal (read: for the clacking to come back).
well what happened is that i got my low end power back, but over 50 miles later, the vtc's are still quiet! it's been 1700 miles or so since my last oil change, so they should be clacking away by this point.
this can't be good, as i don't see how sitting dormant could cure the vtc's problems. any thoughts?

Just like Jake, on both of mine, the oil was changed religiously with the right filter and correct weight. Yet at around 120-130K on both of them, "clackety, clack clack!" I really babied everything about my gold one, to boot. I think it is going to happen to everyone eventually.
I am going to ground my red one soon. I am getting tired of friends calling it the "Maxima diesel."
