Code P1130 Nissan Description

This system has a swirl control valve in the intake passage of each cylinder.
While idling and during low engine speed operation, the swirl control valve closes. Thus the velocity of the air in the intake passage increases, promoting the vaporization of the fuel and producing a swirl in the combustion chamber.
Because of this operation, this system tends to increase the burning speed of the gas mixture, improve fuel consumption, and increase the stability in running conditions.
Also, except when idling and during low engine speed operation, this system opens the swirl control valve. In this condition, this system tends to increase power by improving intake efficiency via reduction of intake flow resistance, intake flow.
The solenoid valve controls swirl control valve’s shut/open condition. This solenoid valve is operated by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The swirl control valve control solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the ECM sends an ON (ground) signal, the solenoid valve is bypassed to apply intake manifold vacuum to the swirl control valve actuator. This operation closes the swirl control valve. When the ECM sends an OFF signal, the vacuum signal is cut and the swirl control valve opens.

  • Have a 2001 Nissan pathfinder, error came on after work was done on engine valve cover. Change sensor and did a smoke test . But problem remains. Swirl control. Now what??

  • If the problem start happening after the valve cover repair, then you should check the connections to the valve and other swirl control components. Make sure the hoses to the swirl control valve solenoid are properly connected.

  • The repair shop check all hose's and did a smoke test for any leaks. Also replaced both solenoid . The brown and green one. I also check the hose from both . Too see if clogged. Nothing. The hose are not that long. So was pretty easy. Can something else be causing code?

  • Only other thing I can think is the check switch.
