Talking Low idle 500rpm or lower after throttle body cleaning fixed!

I have just taken my car to the same dealer as before but different person to talk to. Got the job done for real this time and didn't leave to make sure! I had a rep named Shelby and he told me that the throttle plates get tired over time and sometimes need idle readjusting. He actually got the techs to get the job done and after all my work on the car has finally paid off! Runs like new! Hesitation, random dipping and violent shaking and everything else like such is gone! Will post the invoice to show the results and what was found. Will post update in a few weeks to see if it returns or not.

I'm glad your issue is fixed...
Getting the idle air volume learning to run to completion can be tricky.
In this case, the tech did the IAL and simply increased the idle out of spec to 750 RPM, which is not a problem (spec is 600-700 RPM)

For others looking for a solution, the $40, Nissan Data Scan can adjust the idle.

The software? I looked at it before along with the Chinese Nissan Consult clone.

I did not, I was simply inquiring about the software.

Here you go:
NDSIII (Nissan Data Scan III)

There is both a PC version as well as a separate android (paid) app. I don't have/use this software so I can't speak as to how functional it is.

Thank you as always! I got a laptop as well, but remember reading about needing to buy the correct cable to hook up to the ODB port.

CONSULT3, even the Chinese cloned version, requires the "special adapter" in order for the software to "interface" with the car/ modules.

NDS, uses the standard ELM327 OBDII adapter to communicate with the car. Their website has a list of proven "dongles" that can be found on EBay, Amazon, etc. Those dongles are relatively inexpensive.
