Hey!
I guess you are here to find out more about me... so here goes

I drive a G37 Sport Sedan (rear wheel drive, 6 speed manual) and have a background in electronics, auto mechanics, vehicle networks (CAN bus), C/C++ programming and micro controllers.

Most of my time is spent on automotive research (Nissan/Infiniti) and trying to help others.

Thanks for dropping by!

This shouldn't be this difficult to figure out... it seems like the dealerships are lost unless they have a trouble code. For example, changing the compressor was throwing parts at the problem. If...

Assuming that the replacement VVEL module is good, I would focus on the wiring. Verify the module has 12v on pin 1, 8 and 13 with ignition on, engine off. Make sure to use the ground on pin 14. ...

The temps I provided are for the first 8 (1-8) LEDS, and stop once the car was up to temp. To get the next 8 coolant temperature LEDs (9-16) someone has to offer their car to the overheat gods or...

Just to let you know analog needles are not any better on my G37. From data logging, the engine coolant gauge doesn't move from 70C/158F to 105C/221F. As I understand it, this is to prevent the...

If anyone has a cheap OBD scanner they can display the engine coolant temp sensor (ECT) and takes notes on how many dots and the actual temp.

I've never used "hope" as a strategy, but maybe it will work for you. Good luck!

Let me back up to understand the background: You had a misfire and replaced all the fuel injectors. Since then, the car will crank more than usual before starting ONLY if it has been sitting. Is...

The fuel pressure drop you have is normal. As long as you have 29 psi or more after 30 minutes with the engine off, all is good. You may want to check the fuel volume. The stock pump is around...

After doing a lot more research on ICE MODE, it isn't a brake booster issue. It seems to happen on multiple OEM ABS modules when used in track days / racing. A common tigger seems to be multiple...

For the 370, here is the location of the check valve / one way valve: (This valve only allows air to flow out of the brake booster)...

Interesting... Where did you connect the vacuum canister to and did you happen to measure/view the brake booster pressure or sensor voltage? (I assumed you didn't, but wanted to verify) I'm...

Over the years, there has been a lot of talk and worry about "ice mode". I don't know why, but I find this topic very interesting... After reading this thread...
