What should the idle RPM be for a cold engine?
Another thing to consider is that when you first start a cold engine, the computer increases the idle rpm to maybe 1200 instead of 800 for a warm engine, and enriches the fuel mixture a lot compared to a warm engine. Then in a minute or two as the coolant warms, the computer begins to drop the idle rpm and lean out the mixture.
Can a Nissan Frontier die with starting fluid?
It dies with the starting fluid. Every car ive ever shot that stuff into it revs up. Hook up a code reader and tell us what the codes are. BTW, there is no 97 Nissan Frontier, it didn’t come out until MY 98. The 97 is usually called the Hardbody.

Why does my computer have too low idle RPM?
Then in a minute or two as the coolant warms, the computer begins to drop the idle rpm and lean out the mixture. Since it stalls then, you may have too low of an idle rpm or too lean of a mixture to begin with.
What’s the idle speed on a 1997 Nissan Hardbody?
I have a 1997 Nissan Hardbody with a 2.4-liter engine, manual transmission, A/C, and 89,000 miles. It idles at 1,500 rpm, which doesn’t go down after it’s warm. I checked all the plugs and everything seems to be plugged correctly.
What causes high idle on a Nissan truck?
You can usually figure out what’s causing a high idle problem and estimate the cost before you open your wallet. Often it’s as simple as tracking down a vacuum leak, which is far cheaper than replacing your car’s engine control unit (ECU). This question came from a reader who owns a 1997 Nissan pickup truck.
What kind of engine does a 1997 Nissan have?
This question came from a reader who owns a 1997 Nissan pickup truck. The small engine in this truck is similar to many other engines in Nissans and other makes. Most of them operate in a similar manner and regulate the engine’s idle speed using the same systems, so this information is useful for many car owners.
What to do if your truck Idles too fast?
If necessary, adjust the fast idle cam screw (A) until the alignment mark is centered on the lever roller. Start the engine and let it warm to operating temperature, or do the repair after a few errands that you needed to run anyway.
