Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he repairs a fast idle cam actuator or some times referred to as a thermostatic fast idle solenoid on a 2001 Nissan Frontier. In this case the actuator was still work however it was leaking coolant pretty bad.

Now does this Also control your idle? My screw was bent on my 3.3l not sure if that affects it have low idle
What was its symptoms. That's why I'm looking on here to try to find out what is causing my symptoms. He just goes straight to the fix. Fix for what? Mine surges at idle.
Thanks for this video!!!!!!!
Yo Eric O @southmainautorepairllc the throttle body mounting gasket is the big circular gasket. The one under that spacer adapter thing that goes from a big circle to 4 smaller ones, comes with the intake manifold gasket kit. I've never been able to find that gasket by itself.. loosening those bolts does loosen that gasket under that plate that we didn't see in the video, but because u didn't remove or even mess with that plate, should be absolutely fine… Lol on mine, I removed it all and then realizes I didn't have either gasket! Haha used rtv and believe it or not, I TOTALLY have a vacuum leak go figure. Stupid me hahahaha. Love ur channel man! I'm always watching!
What brand of hood light are you using they look bright I like them is it a Astro?
What were the symptoms of the failing fast I’ll thermal control valve?
Will this make the truck run ruff I'm having issues that no mechanic can seem to figure out
Nice easy fixes Good Work as always Eric O Sweet Underhood Light BTW @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
I was just wondering about the light, funny shit
Great job, that really helped.
Three bond has saved me more than once when I forgot that gasket order.
I have a 2004 xterra and when I put a new intake gasket i bend the plate where the screw hits that sensor and after that I had a high idle,when cold it was 1,500 and it will drop to 1,100 so I bend that bracket that way it wont touch the sensor and now 1,000-900 cold and 750 when hot,I dont know why but this is what that sensor suppose to do but on my truck it seems like it dont need it😂
I have an 88 hardbody, owned it 14 years and every philips/flathead screw ive come across in my endeavors is now socket ready.
Where did you find this part?
That might be a stupid question, but why exactly does a throttle body need to be cooled? I don't think my Civic has a coolant hose attached to it…Hmm.
If you can video it, I can watch it. Nice light and a good fix. Thanks
Hey is this to fix a low idle or high idle?
Do you have the video of you changing the water pump, if so where can I find it
Hello my friend. I have the exact same issue with my Frontier. I can't seem to find that part anywhere. Can you please tell me where you ordered that part from. I really need to find one. Can you help me please?
Was the spring and cage just packaging for the part?
Loved the drill brush
Auto zone sells a gasket rejuvenating product that is great when you have to reuse a gasket.
MY 99 is running fast as hell. once it warms up the idle goes up and down if it is in park or neutral. if it's in gear it idles at around 1,000 RPM. I noticed mine is covered in corrosion.
I like ur vid ;; like I’m stand in a strain beside you . Hahaha
I'm sure this has been brought up, but there is a Japanese Standard for Phillips head fasteners that is slightly different than standard Phillips.
I work on Japanese industrial electronics and I bought a screwdriver after I found this out and have yet to cam out of the head. I don't know if this is always true, but the japanese screws have a dimple on the head.
JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO. HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIGH IDLE. CHECKED IACV. TOOK OFF AND CLEANED. DIDN'T BENCH CHECK. NO CEL's LIVE IN LAS VEGAS. REAL HOT HERE. DID A BYPASS ON COOLANT LINES TO THROTTLE BODY. COULD THAT BE A PROBLEM IF NOT THE PROBLEM?
Great video!!! Where does one get that plunger anyway? I'm about to do the same but cannot find it anywhere!
Hey, like the video, I just bought a 99 frontier and it runs and drives but its idling funny and kinda boggs down with no gas, could it be this issue with the throttle body?
"There's no factory service info on how to install this part, just a picture", CORRECTION MR.O; there is now a complete video with documented screwdriver trick on how to remove and install this solenoid thanks to YOU!!!
Thank you Eric O. For the best car repair videos on YouTube.
hi mr O, is that magnetic light bar a snap on part?
Where did you find it?
Ive got a 91 nissan d21 4×4 with the 2.4 ka24e in it. I just spent over 2k on having the head gasket..water pump..plugs …radiator..oil.. antifreeze…and 2 new fuel injectors on it. Ran fine for about 2 weeks then started sputtering like a fouled plug…replaced the plugs and fuel filter in it and it still sputters and lacks power..noticed one of the new injectors is leaking could that cause the sputtering in it? Thanks for any info
Apparently that Bees wax is reliable stuff. I fly a jet that uses a similar bees wax canister inside the engine fuel control. Rolls Royce Spey engine.
When you show the brake clean my sub woofer rocks the house!
