2004 nissan quest idles rough when van is stopped

Hello, my 2004 quest with 53,000 miles suddenly started to buck and sputter when I come to a stop. Prior to this there was no warning of a problem. When the car is not in gear it still runs rough so I do not think it is transmission related. When accelerating though the van shifts hard from first to second. At mid to high speeds the van runs fine.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

    I have the same problem - about 88,000 miles. Suddenly had a rough idle and tempermental start.



    The mechanic says the 6th cylinder is not working and can't figure out why. Thinks it is the computer.....



    I'm looking for suggestions from anyone else who may have experienced this with their 2004 Quest.

I believe there can be a problem with the ignition coil or maybe the fuel injectors or lastly the catalytic converter I have the same problem with my 2004 Nissan car so my mechanic change all of these parts

    I had the same sound on my 2004 Quest.Our problem was a vibrating heat shield that covers one of the catalytic converters.

94 nissan quest has started idling at 500 rpm. I

Jeff did you figure this out. I am dealing with the exact same thing currently. Things to look at are Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF), Throttle position Sensor (TPS), Air Idle control valve. I have played with everything but the Air control valve. I tried three different MAF, including a ghost sensor (circuit to match ressitance). I'm going to investigate the air idle control tommorrow. Let me know if this helps or if you get it figured oot

Throttle body just replaced; now runs & idles rough

adjust the TPS, throttle position sensor.

First though, disconnect battery for 1/2 hour. Restart engine and drive for 15 miles while computer relearns changes you made. Will run rough for this period.
