Okay you might have a bad sensor or base idle setting for the throttle setting. If not set correctly it can surge up and down . I would have the codes inspected firstDo you have an AutoZone close by your house they will check your codes for free

Okay if no failed sensor codes could be fuel pressure or restricted exhaust . I would drive with a scan tool attached and watch all the readings from your sensors first and check fuel pressure also

That could be a clogged vent in the tank vent system

My Rpm gage will rev up by itself off and on. Keeps sputtering and then breaks down. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2013 Nissan [Pathfinder](/topics-pathfinder/) Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Pathfinder yourself? What have you tried so far? Nothing so far. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? It gives out a weird smell like bad gas. I had thought it was [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-nissan/) so yes we did put new sparks plugs but that was not the problem. I was thinking someone might have put something in my gas. Or if it could be the transmission. Awhile back when i bought the car they had to put a new or used Transmission in so i am hoping thats not the issue?
