A rough idle at higher RPMs while your Nissan SR20 runs smoothly at lower RPMs could indicate issues such as a vacuum leak, dirty fuel injectors, or a malfunctioning idle air control valve (IACV). These problems can disrupt the air-fuel mixture or airflow, causing instability at higher revs. Additionally, check for any ignition system issues, like worn spark plugs or faulty coils, which can also lead to poor performance at elevated RPMs. Conducting a thorough diagnosis will help pinpoint the exact cause.
