like the title says, i need expert help with motor coming out of low speed idle (not staying where its set at)
this is the first time this happened but i havent used the slow idle in a few months so im not sure when this started.
what is happening is i use the key to set the idle to the lowest speed idle for trolling for a type of fishing i do, so this is a very BIG deal to me for my fishing style so this isnt a feature i can afford to not have working.
what is happening is i get ready to fish and push the key in twice to change to slowest idle speed and it stays set that way as it should, but after something between 20-30 minutes of idling in gear this way, the engine decides, all on its own, to raise itself back up to the regular factory set idle speed, and it does this without receiving any form of driver input at all.
there are times i fish by slow trolling so it just idles as i steer it so i am not even touching the controls. when i tried to see what was going on with it, it doesnt seem to want to use any of the alternate idle speeds and it didnt "seem" to want to do anything but idle at the normal default idle speed unless i ran high rpms or turn the key off and back on in order to reset it, then, and only then, would it let me reset it back to low rpm idle again, which only lasted for a short time until it returns to normal idle and i have to repeat this.
this is a 2014 nissan 40hp 4 stroke engine that runs fine with no warning lights or codes flashing and it starts and runs perfect and smooth as silk.
i am guessing this must be a dirty sensor thing somewhere that needs cleaning or replacing, but i dont know how to to sort out or even where to look to solve this problem
thanks for any help you can give me.
