IACV what does it do?
Sometimes when i put my car in reverse or drive or im just sitting at a red light it stalls. Sometimes the rpms bounce a little and then settle. Does the iacv control this or is it controlled by something else? Im just wondering if i should try another iacv or if the problem lies elsewhere.

I had this EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! took me a year to properly diagnose.
search for threads started by me with "MAFS" or "Wiring" in them, and
you'll see my endless search to correct the problem.
As it turns out, the wiring to the MAFS in the wire loom,
right near the passenger side strut tower, was cracked --
right where the loom bends toward the firewall...even
though, it had never been opened!!! I had the similar
issues, and also experienced pee-poor fuel economy...
what I did to diagnose the problem was shake the wires in
various places to try and isolate where the problem lay...
since it's been fixed, my car runs like a dream!
oh, and the dealer told me the problem was "100% torque convertor"...
and that it would cost $1600+ to repair...it actually cost me about
$200, as I had an electrical place do the repair for me.
good luck!

Do you have any idea what may have caused it?
The only reason I finally found out the REAL issue is that the
Infiniti Parts Manager (SOOOoooo much better than Nissan!) told
me that my break had happened once before.
thanks!
