Just a thought, since the misfire code is for specifically cylinder #5, its not really a vacuum leak problem right? as a vacuum leak would affect all cylinders?
-
very nice though it's weird, when I was looking for rancho shocks a while back, there is no part number for our qx4's
-
thnk you and thanks for the PEA tip towncivilian, i just got the fuel injector cleaner, ill look for the fuel system cleaner
-
a P03XX is the general code for specific cylinder misfire, so since youre saying the 3.3's only knock sensor cannot detect cylinder specific misfires, that its most likely detecting a fuel injector problem? im a bit confused because if it's the fuel injectors, wouldnt the code be for that instead of a specific cylinder code? anyways, ill throw in a bottle of techron fuel injector cleaner and if youre right, would a fuel injector be hard to replace?

I changed the sparkplugs myself not too long ago, and yes, even the infamous #6 plug, I changed it all with NGK Laser iridiums and NGK spark plug wires, which i checked yesterday all seem to be perfect, even the #5 sparkplug After i cleared the code, and started the car, the problem was gone, so it's only a matter of time before the engine starts shaking hard when i start it
-
So today it happened again, this time, even when i went onto D, the engine was still rough, though the RPM looked stable and i finally got a code a P0305, a cylinder 5 misfire. I doubt a leaking vacuum hose would cause that, am I right?

How to use Low gear selector?
m0nkeyprince replied to m0nkeyprince's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
yup i read em, and i still made the grinding noise, which because of all the replies, i know now my mistake was taking to long in shifting H to 4LO thanks for all the replies -
Hi all! this is probably an embarrassing question to ask, but how do I use the low gear selector thats next to the automatic tranny shifter? all the time ive had with my qx, ive never touched it. there is H then N then 4LO my question is, what is the appropriate way to shift it? when i put the tranny in neutral, and i try to shift it, it makes a grinding noise, but it works fine when i turn the engine off and put the tranny shifter into N then try to shift the low gears. Should the engine be off, and the tranny be in a certain position before shifting the low gear selector? id appreciate any help Also by putting it into 4LO as opposed to H, what does it do when the all wheel drive mode is set to lock? or when it is set to 2 wheel drive?
-
thanks ill check for any leaks, hmm im guessing soapy water wont work for vacuum leaks
-
hmm, and that can cause the super rough idling? but the problem goes away after i put it into D gear, and after that the symptom wont show when i put it back into R or P. The problem only shows up sometimes after i start the engine and reverse
-
Sometimes when I start my qx4, it idles really rough, feels like the engine is shaking like mad (could even feel it in the low gear shifter), RPM stable though. This happens on P and R, then when i put it into drive, it's smooth again like nothing happened, even if i go back into P or R. What could be the problem? Ive had a distributor problem not too long ago, but i replaced the distributor.
-
ok guys dont laugh... but what is this?
m0nkeyprince replied to TShep704's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
hmm, so instead of power steering fluid we can use our AT fluid? i thought that was only for certain makes -
thats right, i blew 100 psi through the hose opening of the rear outlet, and the interior hose blew off from its connection inside the ceiling which i had to remove trim after trim piece to reach then reconnect
-
Its easy, just remove the front right wheel, then inside the wheel well, take off the clips and screws holding the front wheel well wall, afterwards, you should have direct access to the pump and res.
-
^^ well the pumps are directly attached to the resoviour so its not that, the common mystery hose goes into the engine bay but i cant follow it through through the fenders and thanks for the link towncivilian, but their prices are the same as everybody elses, 33 bucks each, isnt there a place that does the 5% off coupon code?
