My 2001 Nissan Maxima's IACV went out, which resulted in me sputtering and dying while at a stop light. The car isn't new (it just hit 102,000), but has been in excellent condition. I took it to the dealership, which was only 3 blocks from where I died, instead of my mechanic, who was over 20 miles away. The dealership claimed they needed to replace the IACV, which could have resulted in the ECM not taking the relearn code for the new part. This happened, and they claimed that I then needed to buy a new ECM from them as the two parts work in conjunction with each other. This didn't make sense to my mechanic, nor to another Nissan dealership I called to see if this made sense. Does anyone have any ideas? Is this normal? The first dealership claimed they had seen this on approximately 8 cars in the last 2 years and about 1/2 of those needed new computers. This seems highly suspect to me.
