All i know at this point is that everything seems to be pointing towards heat being the instigator when it comes to the fuel trims and the engine bogging down. The only other odd thing i can point out that started more recently within the last two months is that from a cold start right as the coolant temps are getting up to normal if im accelerating i will hit a dead spot in the powerband that lasts for no more than a second and then the car will be completely fine after that until the engine gets heatsoaked and starts bogging down again.

Hmm I’m kind of out of ideas for remote help. Any chance the AC compressor is going out and just poor timing after the cooling service (I highly doubt it)? I’ve never seen one put extra load on the system to make it overheat but I’m kind of lost here. Running lean would run hotter but your fuel trims don’t indicate that and you don’t have any fuel trim faults, all your ***** new and both banks seem to be balanced. Your in SoCal there should be some good shops down there but remotely (and not a Nissan specialist) I’m drawing a blank.
