05 6MT Engine Knocking Pinging
#151
I just got a call from z car garage and Rob says that they put the car on the dyno and it's acting really funny.. he didn't say anything specific but he said he thinks something is wrong with it becuase he's seeing some really strange interference with the ignition system.
so no unichip for me for now
He said I can bring it back next week and he's going to figure out exactly what the problem is by trying to swap some parts here & there...

Is your G idling high at all?

He says he's not seen a rev-up motor like mine ping yet, so it could be that some of us have an isolated case of some bad parts or perhaps the quality control at Infiniti for some responsible part is poor.

Wow can't wait to hear your report now!
Mine has been idling consistently at 700 not terribly high but I know the spec is 650 with a +/- 25 revs IIRC. Occasionally I hear what I think is a misfire but not 100% sure it is and I have not been able to catch it with my scan tool.
I think that is very good of them to not insist that you need the unichip to correct the problem. Just about any other shop would have kept leading you down that path.
Kudos to them.

haha
If you have an auto, it's normal to feel some vibration in the vehicle while you're idling, I doubt it's pinging.

Car pinging due to use of non premium gas.
I'm extremely unhappy because I have only been feeding my car 93 oct Shell V-power.
Which dealer did you go to bythabay?

I know you probably went over it a HUNDRED times already, but can you describe the noise youre hearing. I saw that it was really pretty much anywhere in the rev band, but what did the actual noise sound like?
My 6mt makes peculiar noises down below 1500, but thats about it so far as I can tell. Any more input be appreciated.

Hmm, I was thinking I was experiencing the same thing, but from what I can tell at this point its not an issue.
Really at any time whether warm or cold, anything below 1500 rpm the motor makes a noise similar to traction control on an F1 car, albeit, A LOT quieter. It can happen at any throttle opening, but since that is generally considered lugging the motor thats what I attribute it to.
The only problem I have so far on my 07 is that the 2nd gear synchro just doesn't work so well. Do you have that problem?
