P0507 - CEL - You have got to be kidding...

...So I decided to put the stock mid-pipe baffle back in and in doing so I noticed my throttle body and butterfly were pretty dirty. Proceeded to clean with throttle body intake cleaner. Put everything back together, start car and idle will not go below 1000 RMP's now.

I then throw P0507 - Idle Speed Control System RPM Higher Than Expected. I perform the ECU reset, the Accelerator Position, Throttle Valve Position, and the Idle Air Volume Learning. Light is reset. Go for a drive P0507 triggers again.

I then read that cleaning the TB could have caused this issue and that potentially the ECM has to be replaced and/or reset and possibly the TB needs replaced.

What kinda BS is that?

I'm at 86k, no there is no warranty coverage on this and I am not about to dump a ton of $$ on this if there is a fix. I searched the forum and found little to no fixes for this. Different people seem to have different outcomes.

Any ideas from more recent members experiences?

search the forum - for wired TBs, ECU need to relearn. For mine I had to goto to the dealer for them to perform this operation using the Consult. I did the voo doo stuff (disconnect, connect, reconnect, blah blah blah) - in the end Consult was needed for the fix.

On the org folks have listed a process to make the ECU relearn, but I was not able to make it work - apparently timing is extra sensitive for the tests and after wasting 2 days, I paid my dues to the dealer - $95 and was up and running in 30 mintutes.

I thought that was only on the 5th gens. Disconnecting the battery on the 5.5 gens did nothing.

I performed what I thought were the steps to relearn, all completed successfully, and did not fix the issue. I then found the following procedure, which I did not see on the .org anywhere, and might attempt to do this today... (atleast as best I can w/o consult)

2002-2005 NISSAN VEHICLES; PROCEDURE TO COMPLETE IAVL WHEN IDLE SPEED NEEDS TO BE REDUCED.
