Have a general question.
My Patrol 2000 DX 3.0L idles smoothly at 750RPM
When I turn the lights on (High Beam with
driving lights)
Air Con, cigerette lighter, hazards.......the RPM increase to about 850RPM (Air Con seems to cause the jump)
When I turn off all the accessories, drops back to 750, but when I turn on the Rear Demister the idle RMP jumps up to 1100-1200.
When I engage the clutch and select ANY gear the idle spped drops back to 750.
Can other Patrol users confirm this is normal operation?
In-laws have a 3.6 Petrol Prado and it does not behave this way.
Can I assmue this is standard Deisel behavour?
Thanks
Paul

This sounds "press the clutch and all goes normal" sounds dodgey, as does the rear demister...
What does Nissan say? Nothign wrong? all within specs..?
When I hit the rear demister nothing happens but demisting! Same with ciggy lighter, and hazzards!...
something amiss... might be minor now, but you dont want it to die at the wrong place and time!!!
