RPMS dropping

I’ve posted here before about my 09 G37 7AT having an issue where the RPMs drop when I let off the throttle, then bounce back slightly and give a tiny kick. I can somewhat hear a vibration noise when the rpms are coming back up again, it starts quiet and then louder as it rises and of course completely stops once it’s back to normal. I also rarely feel a small vibration at low speeds. It mostly happens during slow driving or on slight uphills.

Here’s everything I’ve already done: • New spark plugs • New ignition coils • Fixed an exhaust leak • Cleaned the throttle body • Replaced a cracked air intake pipe (helped but didn’t fully fix it) • Completed the idle relearn procedure

Still no CEL and no codes.

The issue has improved but still shows up in the same situations. Anyone with a G37/VQ37 or 7AT run into this before?

Im not sure how to work the forums BUT I had the same issue, but fixed now. I replaced all that you’ve replaced but I have KNN Short ram intakes and I didn’t plug my vacuum hose back into place on the cold air intakes, once I did that my rpm’s stayed at idle range 600-700rpms steady and didn’t drop below like they used to! I hope this helps. Also the vacuum hose is located under both cold air intakes, after the filters before the throttle body. (Close to coils on both sides)
