R50Belize Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 HI there. I'm new to the forum. Been lurking on the Facebook forum for awhile. I purchased a 2001 Pathy LE 4x4 for our (wife & I) volunteer work in Belize. I bought it at auction in Washington state and drove it down to Belize. I bought it with 200k now has 215k. I've changed out many of the sensort that go bad. Had the IACV go bad so I replaced that and then changed out the ECU with 1 from a 2001 QX4. I've also put in new shocks and struts. I upgraded to stiffer ones as most of the roads here in Belize would qualify as "off-roading" by most standards. I've recently had a recurring code.for O2 sensors so I got a set of Evil Energy O2 spacers, not yet installed. Next on my list is to change out the rear bushings or trailing arms. I can fix most things on a vehicle myself just not the best at making diagnosis. So that's why I'm here. So when I do have an issue to get steered in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Welcome! Are from WA? If so, drop a line when you get back, we’ve got a great little PNW community up here. Those O2 sensors are probably the most common issue on that era R50 - luckily it doesn’t disable the vehicle. I’ve even cleared them & gone thousands of miles before it came on again. Just remember Bank 1 is Passenger side NOT Driver side like you’d think. You’ll find a great community here with expertise and a willingness to help.
