Details as to how they factor it into the feedback control I do not know. But I'm certain there's a calculated flow rate and specification for the PCV...

I've never personally analyzed blow-by gases like the EPA has, so I don't know for a fact. I have read in several places that blow-by is mostly unburnt fuel - and the 70% figure is what was attached...

Ya know, I rather take a bit of offense to you saying I am spreading incorrect information because I am not. You are.

Blow-by is what leaks passed the piston rings on the power stroke - "It sucks...

Don't do it don't do it. PCV flow is about 80% fuel vapors from the oil. Cycling those vapors into the manifold and burning them is calculated into the ECM's fuel map. It is very important for a...

Completely normal. My 2007 Altima 3.5SE did this also. My Z does the same as well. It's the throttle motors energizing. It's programmed to do this anytime ignition is ON and transmission is in...

This is the important part of all of this. This is a VERY widespread problem. The Z and G is more of an enthusiast vehicle. I'd wager more Z or G owners are actually members of forums. But this...

I had a 2007 Altima 3.5SE and the throttle was sticky on it. Just because it is drive by wire doesn't mean that the pedal might not actually be sticking. The 370Z also does some very strange stuff...

90% of HC emissions is at startup. Cold engine = poor atomization of the fuel which goes right out the tailpipe. The VVEL does its thing to prevent unburnt HC's from going out the tailpipe and warm...

This loss of clutch pressure is a recurring thing that occurs on 05+ V6 Altima's, MT Maxima's, the 350's and 370's. My previous 2007 Altima 3.5SE did this crap 2 times in 40,000 miles and that's it....

I've noticed the VQ37VHR being very rough for the first 15 or 20 seconds on a cold start. It has NOTHING to do with how high it is idling. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the VVEL. ...

There is a test connector under the dash that, when grounded, will make the TPMS light flash out error codes. The car will tell you exactly why the light was on if you feel like digging around under...

Blackstone labs has had good things to say about my Z also, until the last oil report, when lead was elevated. In about 500mi, I'm going to send another sample in to see if that has improved. ...

I purchased my 370 in May 2009. Unknown build date, but I think it is 03/09. The question I have is - why is it that at 25,000 miles, my engine (very thankfully) consumes less than 1/2 qt in...

The messed up thing is the 370Z not having a factory oil cooler in the states, but all the VQ35DE Altimas have it stock. WTF??

No oil cooler on the sports coupe and the family sedans all get one!...

I was under the impression that the ONLY time they closed was at idle and during deceleration. That's what VVEL is all about I...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the 370Z:

Triple cone synchronizers on 1st and 2nd
Double cone synchros on 3rd and 4th
Single synchro on 5th and 6th, hence they're way more likely to bite the...
