I have a 2006 Nissan [Frontier](/topics-frontier/). When it is in park it’s starts idling up and down for no reason. Why? Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the Nissan? What size is the engine? 2.4, 213k Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Frontier yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes. Nothing yet Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I changed the fuel pump assembly and now the gauge shows E all the time

HI Chris it's nice to meet you IS the check engine light on?

it is
Automotive Expert
Ok, thank you, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* happen to know what codes are being stored?

No I don’t. But all it does is when I start it it revs up and down
Automotive Expert
Ok thanks, There are a few things that might cause this. If at some point you can get the codes read by a parts store, it may help with the diagnosis. It's possible there is an issue with the mass airflow sensor, or a vacuum leak. To check it for a vacuum leak when the idle starts searching, spray some carb cleaner around the intake manifold with the engine running. If the idle smooths out, then there is a leak. If not, then turn the truck off and try unplugging the maf sensor, then see if the idle smooths up, if it does, then you have an issue with the maf sensor. As for the [fuel gauge](/topics-fuel-gauge-nissan/), if it was working before you replaced the fuel pump, you have a faulty fuel pump and the sending unit isn't working.

Ok I will get the codes read
Automotive Expert
Start there and let me know, the other tests I gave you are easy to do as well.

Ok I also have a 2000 f150 with 5.4. When you give it gas it fall on its face. Fuel pump has been changed, [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-nissan/) and coil packs. Still does the same
Automotive Expert
Sorry to say you will have to open a new question for that in the Ford category, if you would like you can request me. It's not my site, just they need a new thread because of the different model.

Oh ok
Automotive Expert
Thanks for understanding.
Automotive Expert
Yes, please do. I will do what I can to help you more.
