UPDATE - The host suffered a "Catastrophic Hardware Failure" (*specifics not shared) on 01/13 and the "latest available" backup for the website and database were restored. At this point they have been unable to recover any later versions of the database.
We are going to give them another 72hrs to pull off a miracle and find something later than 05/21 before we fully move forward with normal forum operations. Maybe we'll luck out, but to be perfectly honest, it's not looking good.
It is still recommended that new members wait to register for the time being, as any new accounts created before our final decision on a path forward is made, may not exist once this is taken care of. This is also true for new topics, posts, status updates, profile & account changes, etc.
As always, we appreciate your patience as ask that you hold on just a little longer.

Dashboard lights Brake and Battery
Cuong Nguyen replied to PamPoovey's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
That's code for alternator going out. Probably the voltage regulator or whatever. It's a hit and miss with remanufactured alternators. I cannot offer any tips or advice since I've never worked on an 02 model other than unplugging the battery first lol. -
It's held in place by a woodruff key like the crank pulley. I'm figuring you already have the belt off and what not so you can spray it with some penetrating lubricant and some light taps should work it loose....or wedge something behind it and leverage it out a bit. It's been a while since I've done it...

Fuel Pump Replacement Suggestions?
Cuong Nguyen replied to dmvhornback's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
You sure that pump is bad? How do you know your pump is bad? Did you test it to see if the pump is actually getting power ans actually pumping out fuel? Yoi can disconnect the fuel line feeding to the fuel rail to make sure it's pumping.. the pump should prime for a few seconds when you turn your ignition on ans you should hear your pump click on. I'm using a cheap pump off Ebay for 60 dollars. So far so good. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk -
It could be the ignition switch going bad. You could hot wire it or bypass it to see. I'd check your connections to make sure they're not loose or corroded. Check the voltages too as well as the starter relay.. I had the same issues and replaced the ignition switch and so far no problems. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

What i didn't know was that part is different between thr 2wd and 4wd. I did my 4wd conversion and found that out eventually. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

Pressurized Fuel Injection Cleaning 97 Pathfinder

Curious, what is your mileage on the truck? Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk -
Thanks for the laugh this morning! Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

It was cheaper to just by a new maxima alternator 90A. Bolts right up after you swap out the pulley. I had to file down the OE pulley for clearance (YMMV). Easy 20A upgrade. I still need to upgrade the wiring as it's not cutting it for the occasional winching.

Intermittent issue - sounds like a vacuum leak?
Cuong Nguyen replied to willaay's topic in The Garage
Hahaha. That surging is all too familiar with me. I deal with it on a weekly basis. The later models (94/95) came out with a TSB where they added a pigtail with an external ground to the MAF harness plug to the sensor. Poor ground or corrosion/connectivity will cause that idle surge and stalling when rolling to a stop. -
Pressurized Fuel Injection Cleaning 97 Pathfinder
Cuong Nguyen replied to AR97Pathfinder's topic in The Garage
This is done with the engine running? I have really not heard of this. What I have heard done was having the injectors cleaned and flow tested (I've done this) and most folks replace faulty ones as needed/indicated. -
Damn. That's a lot of oil. Have you figured out the source?

Edit: crossed the fuel hoses at the pump.. all good now other that the sputtering and missing. Guessing from the bad fuel.. Truck won't start. Fuel related. I prematurely thought it was my junkyard pump going out since my tank is slight rusty. Pulled the pump to see that the pre-filter broke off. Swapped in a new pump and nada. So assumed that the fuel filter is clogged. Pulled the filter and it was dry. Disconnected the line and placed it in a bottle and primed the pump. I hear it prime but nothing is coming out... I'm sure I connected fuel lines back correctly. What am I missing? I turn the ignition on, I hear pump prime and stop. Turn off the key and I hear a click from a relay seconds later.

You can try a bolt extractor for rounded heads or weld an open end wrench to it.

What did you do to your Pathfinder today?
Cuong Nguyen replied to RedRider3141's topic in The Garage
Yep. Rusty tank from sitting too long. Still trying to find a good tank. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk -
Check the small rubber hoses going to the evap canister and the lines going to the fuel pump and tank. You can unplug the door lock timer because it'll try and apply power to the lock actuators if it is malfunctioning. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
