Mauitrailguy Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I found this the other day. The guy says it runs but you can't drive it because when you press the gas it sputters and hesitates and won't drive. He mentioned he changed the plugs, wires, and cap then it ran rough so he swapped the computer for his buddies that was two years newer, and it wouldnt start on that computer so he put his in and now it wont accelerate all the time and you cant drive it. I was thinking maybe a TPS problem or he fried something swapping computers. Either was he told me he would take 500 for it. I now I need a new third member cause i blew my pinion. and i need some misc stuff. I wouldnt mind having these parts available. I think it is a good deal either way if i get it running I could sell it/wheel it or if not I have my own personal junkyard.....what would you guys do/would any of you need/want to buy some parts from it from me???? Thanks for taking a look.as usual input is appreciated. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2456608517.html Edited June 29, 2011 by Mauitrailguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarehouseRat Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 its worth the money just to have a back up t case and axles and drive lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Buy it. It's not a TPS issue, I've driven mine many times without one - still am. TBI Pathfinders don't care much about the sensor as it's ONLY an idle switch for these. I'll bet a little common sense and a few bucks in parts that that'll be a good running rig.

R3DN1CK Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 if there are 4 good tires and wheels, you are already $500 in parts. if you have room, buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5194&st=0 here is the link but the pics are dead . my path was running like crap and sputtering and smoking and raw fuel coming out the tail pipe i guess it was in "safe mode" wouldnt let me go pass 2300rpms but you should try cleaning that and see if it works i cleaned mine with carb cleaner and bloew off the cleaner with my mouth cause i didnt want to hook up air to it and ruin the little wire thingy but if you try it hope it runs better and fixes the problem and then you have 2 pahtys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Clean the maf, that is the most common problem when it wont rev up. My connection was loose and it blew white smoke, and took 2-3 minutes too hit 3,000 rpm with the throttle pinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
