RPM DROPS - RANDOM
Wassup guys... so i got a 08 maxima w/ 27,000 miles. This is a issue i've been noticing @ random times....
1... sometimes when i start the car the rpm drops real low like 500rpm n the car starts the vibrate a little & then it just goes back to regular 1k rpm & the vibrating stops.....
2... sometimes when im at a red light.. light turns green and i take off.. at around 2k rpm the car kinda pulls back like somethings pulling it back and it sticks at 2k rpm & then it continues to drive regular after.
any ideas on whats causing either issue? The 2nd problem if i can remember correctly only happens when i have the car in tiptronik mode & take off...

Do you buy any-chance have a remote starter system in your car and or alarm thats aftermarket installed? Reason i ask is cause on my old impala i had an aftermarket starter/alarm installed and one day when i was driving my rps just dropped out of not where and it actually had to do with the alram/starter.

I got just like your problem but in different situation, which when I feul the car the RPM dropping and sometimes stop working and when I start the engine it does late really. In the end it was a pipe trapping the air to the engine.
But I guess I agree with KillaKam, never use aftermarket items they will destroy your car.
