Have problems with vehicle idling. Engine revs up and tach sticks from 1500-2000 RPM almost constantly. When vehicle is in first gear it will stick and take off by it self and even speed up even though it is a manual transmission. Dealer has seen truck 4 times now and "can not" find the problem. Non dealer repair diagnosed the valve in one visit. Are there reports of any other Nissan Pathfinders or vehicles that are having this problem? it's dangerous!!!!!!
