2003 Questions for all other cars

The car is a sentra spec V I am told, and here is what he said is happening:

Something electrical seems to be shorting out when the engine is hot, causing a fuel cut off around 3500 rpms and also at sporatic times, causing a really rough idle. Its not the timing, its not the catalytic converter, I'm pretty sure its not the crankshaft position sensor, bc it'd throw a code.

What could it be?

Hi kylescar,

I would suspect the throttle control system to be the cause. Try getting them cleaned and relearned to see if it helps.
