There is a delay in the throtlle when I accelerate after slowing down or stopping. It feels like soemthing is not engaing or is late to engage when I step on the gas or if i shift from forward to reverse (AT) or vise versa. BTW what's "TSB"? I think I missed that part of the discussion.

Looks like the dealer where you got the work done messed up. Just take it back and have them fix it.

When I got mine done, the AC stopped working. So I took it back the next day and they fixed it right away. Thet just forgot to connect some piping or switch from the AC line

I just passed 40,000kms. That is right around 25,000 miles. My Frontier purrs like a kitten

Interestingly, on the official Nissan TSB site ( Nissan Publications ), I no longer see 'NTB07-042a covering the VQ Engine Buzzing Whining Noise From Timing Chain Area'.

Thanks. I figured I'd save a copy in case I have the problem someday. I sometimes hear an intermittent rattle from the engine bay upon startup, especially if the truck has sat for several days. Only 15% have had this problem, so I'm hoping that the odds are in my favor.

You're welcome. I'm hoping the same thing.

I just bought a used 2005 with 81k on it and I am finding alot of problems with it. I just repaired the radiator that leaked coolant into my tranny. I hear the timing chain whine, and the dealer quoted me $1700 to replace the guides. I want to replace them myself but I'm worried that I need the special tool to hold the crank pulley steady when breaking the bolt. ughhh... I didn't expect to spend this much money to own a newer truck.
