    got a 2nd hand sentra 06 GS matic. the idle shoots up(2-3k) for 1-2 sec then returns to normal(1K) . the engine
    appears to conk out especially after a full stop but recovers.Does anyone recommend just a tune up?BTW, there
    is a digital display on the top leftmost part of the dashboard which has 3-4 blinking lines but disappears after a while. What
    indicator is it for? thanks in advance!

    ^^^That's your Heads Up Display or HUD. I think there's supposed to be a switch somewhere to control it.
    Anyway, I suggest you bring it sa Casa for throttle body/IACV and MAF cleaning. Might be a good time to have a tune up/change oil and ATF flush. Bring it to NGQA.
