I don't think there's a fault code for suction control, I would however love to clean the whole EGR valve assembly out when I learn how l, I've watched videos on how bad they can get

Yeh I had the EGR sensor light come on a few times same code but only until I changed that sc valve everything went away, haven't had a problem since

cant wipe the smile off my face mate haha, im just glad it was only a $200 fix and not something a lot worse. Limp mode is a jigsaw game Nissan invented and I found the missing piece haha. Here's to hoping

Well about 600kms later it hasn't missed a beat and is definitely a noticeable difference in the way the power comes on in normal driving there's no resistance or hesitation its just a smooth transitition now its definitely fixed woo hoo!!!! Oh how I missed her haha. Big thanks for all the help...

We'll finally got the new valve today I had some trouble putting it in mainly because my fingers have trouble inverting themselves getting in there lol but I got it in and did the ECU reset, primed the fuel and she started rather smoothly and idled nicely with non of the usual noises? Took it...

Ah your a legend, was still waiting for a mob to get back to me to check the numbers match but you've made my life easy cheers mate cant wait to change it and see if it is the problem!

well the reason I couldn't see it besides the awkward spot is it was caked in crap but finally I have it haha! Denso Hungary No. HU294000-0530

After half hr of swearing and bending fingers back I finally got the SCV valve out only to find theres no part numbers on it haha just my pure luck. :pissedoff: Has anyone used the Hi-Spec denso SCV valves? says there an original with a mod to make them better? also $400 where as the standard...

Haha bit sensitive these D40's ay, they love bustin out a limp mode

Rumpig I'm pretty sure I've read on here somewhere that it can't be done for the fact the computer does check? I could be wrong though lol, yeh Jonney I saw a photo yesterday of how bad they can get and no doubt mine would be the same, I will be cleaning it out for sure once I know how lol, I'm...

Ah ok I never thought of that, any idea on where to buy a new valve from and rough price? My mechanic did suggest it once before but I figured if I blocked it it would bypass it but obviously not, the cars stalled 3 times the last 2 days now, cheers mate

Another update with another disappointing result, blocked the EGR valve today, run some injector cleaner in it while I was at it and drove it home the hr drive and all went well but once again as I pulled up the driveway it stalled. I have decided this car is definately female and does not like...

Ok finally got an update for ya's, had to wait for the scan tool to come in but I'm so glad I bought it because it's awesome, I cleaned the MAF sensor and drove it around 20 minutes and all was fine, then today I drove it to work then all the way to Perth (1hr in stop start traffic) then pulled...

haha so its not just mine then good to know, will do

well I thank you both for the kind info it seems I have quite a list to go through now haha, I don't have a scanner the mechanic I use always runs a scan, when I bought the car it had a few minor issues that were fixed and thereafter kept having small annoying problems that were hard to find and...
