Slow rev-up in neutral?
I was looking at a 2016 maxima SR that has some flood damage and was testing out as many functions and I could without doing a test drive (not allowed by the dealer on a salvage car) and noticed that the engines seemed to rev up very slow in neutral. Is this normal? It probably took five or six seconds to get up near redline. Maybe I'm just not used to nissan power plants.
Sidenote: the front power door locks don't work but the rear ones do and the passenger side power window doesn't work. Is there a separate computer module that controls these things or is it probably just electronics in the door that got wet? If anyone has a diagram of the any computer module locations, that would be great.

When you shift from N to R or D is there a hesitation or delay as if the tranny is slow to respond?
This transmission has a few vacuum ports, one of which is an open tube near the intake box. Depending on how high the water was on the vehicle the tranny could simply have water in it.
Flood cars are becoming increasingly difficult buys these days with all the ECUs car makers are utilizing. Troubleshooting is that much more difficult versus the days of one ECM, TCM and BCM.

If I recall with my 07 (I know not the same) but you couldn't rev to redline in neutral, it would get up to say 4500 then bobble down...in gear if you stuck it in a gear position with the CVT manual setting, it could rev much higher. May be some kind of limiting by the computer to prevent damage.

Have you wondered why the insurance company paid off the owner? Because they don't want to pay to fix...forever...the flood damage.
Unless you plan to part out the car, your headaches will never end. You will never fix it back to 100%.
I know this because I have worked in auto auctions, and know many guys who bought late model flood cars, with the intent to repair them because they bought them cheap.
Walk away now, so you don't have the expensive headache of trying to repair a flood car. Don't forget, Salvage title cars have a much lower value, and no warranty from a manufacture.
