Stall Speed Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Infiniti QX4, 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2001 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Condition of high clutch and brake band cannot be confirmed by stall speed test.
  1. Check engine and transmission fluid levels. Ensure engine and transmission are at normal operating temperatures. Set parking brake and block wheels.
    2. NOTE: Never hold wide-open throttle for more than 5 seconds during test.
  2. Install tachometer so it is visible to driver. Start engine, apply brakes and move gearshift lever to "D" position. Accelerate to wide-open throttle gradually while applying brakes. Note engine stall speed and release the accelerator pedal. Stall speed should be 2440-2640 RPM.
  3. Move gearshift lever to "N" position. Run engine at idle for one minute or more to cool ATF. Repeat test, starting at step  2 with gearshift lever in "2", "1" and "R" positions. Compare stall speed test results with chart. See Fig 1.
