Sounds like fail safe. Any aftermarket modifications i.e. AFC's? Any luck when trying to start it again?

Mine did this when I screwed with the TB. Turned out when I hooked my AFC up, my TB voltage was noisy so once it goes out of wack, bam, limp mode.

Any maintenance to do w/ the TB or APPS recently?

FAIL-SAFE MODE
NFEC1460S01
When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.
Engine operation condition in fail-safe mode
ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the
return spring.

No nothing aftermarket just replace the TB like 3 months ago or so and by the way whats AFC??

No i haven't done no maintenance on those two things

Air Flow Convertor. So, no that's not it.

Maybe the TB could be bad, try checking the connections for frayed wires and such. What brand/how old was the replacement TB? I'm assuming you have a service engine soon light, finding out that code will tell a lot.

All those relate to the TB. Anywhere from the sensor itself (blade) to the actuating motor. There is a MAF code in there, but at this point, that's secondary since all the other codes (8 of the 10) are TB related since the MAFwon't cause the dead mode.

When you put in new TB, did you have the dealer do a relearn procedure?, since all Nissan from 2002 and up went with electronic TB going away with the mechanical cable TB. Unfortunately the TB is not just simply plug it in and go, since your acclerator pedal have a sensor on it, that communicate wired to the the Electronic TB unit.

No i didnt took it to the dealer my mechanic installed it and i did the relearn and it was working fine and it happened like it got disprogram and i did the relearn and it work fine then all of a sudden it wont take the relearn at all i just clean the maf sensor like an hour ago and thought it was that but nope still the same problem. .i can't hear the throttle body move at all :/

How long ago was this alleged install?

Cleaning the MAF won't do anything. Something is not communicating to one another and/or your TPS voltages aren't synced as they should (2 TPS sensors on the TB BTW).

You can check if the throttle is opening like this. Pull the parking brake (e brake, your preference same thing) make sure it's set well and the car is on level ground, turn the key to the on position (do not crank), figure a way to depress the acc pedal, (I use a 2x4), get it to where it is pressing the pedal, go under the hood and take the accordion piece off and see if it (the throttle valve) is open. Not sure what that will accomplish, but at least you'll see if it's opening, and I'm betting it's not.

I did what you said I had a helper push on the gas and it was in park with the emergency brake on the throttle body valve Didnt move I told my helper to put it on gear which is reversed and drive And the valve did move as the gears changed from reverse to drive I heard a little electronic sound Inthe transmission does that mean anything could that be the problem. .so i thought to my self if i put the car in drive fast enough will it run n sure enough it did for a lil bit then went back to the 1 rpm :/ i thought i had it working

Oh yeah one thing i forgot it needs to be in a drive gear. But you figured that one out.

TPS = throtte position sensor
TB = throttle body

Yeah i kinda of figured that ..but yeah the vale did open when in drive and then in reverse it open as. but once in park it doesn't do anything when i put the key in Ignition the vale doesn't open at all or makes a noise. .but i did hear a sound of election in the transmission what does that mean ?? N i do get an AT when i put the key in ignition but just shows once n it goes away
