Hmmm, is that the EFI model? If so, most Nissans used an idle air control
valve (a servo control air bleed). You can fiddle with the throttle body
adjustment but be careful not to upset the adjustment for the throttle
position sensor.

Should be computer controlled IAC if it's the one with the EFI Camira
engine. Perhaps it's stuck, remove the IAC clean the throttle body and
refit. Pull the engine fuse for 30 seconds and let it relearn. Don't fuck
with the base idle screw or TPS unless you know what you are doing.

N15 1.6l Pulsar had the Nissan GA16DE engine - used as early as 1991
in the Nissan NX 1600 N14.

But I doubt it was the same as the Camira engine.

"yeah, thats the idle adjust screw. As for air/fuel, you dont adjust
it, the computer does. If you're having problems with a poor idle and
idle adjust doesnt help, you're probably have a bunch of gunk in the
throttle body, intake and IAC that needs cleaned out."

Do a search of nissanforums.com. Loads of (useful) info.

Not the same no, but probably very similar idle control method anyway.

As I suggested ;-)
