There's an FICD actuator under the air filter box that lifts the ile speed when the air cond is on ...It's adjustable.

Get someone to switch the air con on & off and have a look under the air box firewall side . Hope this helps.

ENGINE MOUNT 1989 GQ 4.2 PETROL

I've gone through the bible for info ..............rang cheezy but they no longer make engine mounts :roll:

Left hand side is the only one that keeps pulling apart :cry: Anyone else that makes them ? Or do I just get the original from Nissan.
