  1. Hi guys, My truck tripped a check engine light two month ago. I went to Autozone and got them to give me the code. I think it was 1491, and I know it said EVAP Blockage or cleaning. So I went through NJ inspection expecting to fail, just want to know what code they will bring up. It came up P1491. The Inspection Station gave me a notice stating it could be 1. Recall NTB09-039 SB Nissan ; update to AT/CVT Terminology in Service manual 2. Recall NTB00-085A Evaporative (EVAP) Emission control system cleaning procedure for E……. 3. Recall NTB08-055 SRS Precautions during Service. Now I know that P1491 is Vacuum Cut Valve Bypass Valve. I had set up an appointment with Nissan to get this fixed. I am going in tomorrow. When I spoke the Service guy, he had asked the mechanic what would need to be fixed. The Mechanic kept on telling me that my EGR valve would need to be replaced. When I look at the Service Bulletin for 1491, there is no mention of the EGR Valve. When I told the Mechanic the P 1491 is the Check valve the told me I was wrong and that it was the EGR valve and that the Codes the Inspection station stated may not be the same as the Nissan Codes. I have a feeling he does not know what he’s talking about and wanted to check with you guys first. Here is my Vehicle Info 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE Model. Drew
  2. Quick question related to fuel economy. Has anyone tried or heard of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Here is the Website http://www.fitchfuelcatalyst.com/ . With fuel cost going up and how the Pathfinder likes to chug a lot of gas, I was actually thinking of purchasing and putting it on. Has anyone tried this product yet? It’s pretty interesting. I’ve seen this item advertised on Horsepower episode and you did increase the horsepower and torque with a lower quality of fuel without sacrificing the performance. I am hoping this isn’t another bogus thing like the Throttlebody spacer which was suppose to increase Horsepower or the Tornado.
  3. Thanks Trainman, I think I tread that post and told the guy it should not take longer than 3 hours. He then gets a hold of a mechanic and told me it a all day thing. Those guy are a joke.
  4. I went to the dealer two weeks ago. Told them if they could check it out as well. They looked at me and asked why and that they never heard of this problem on pathfinders. On the sentra, yes but not the trucks. then the concluded to tell me it would take 4.5 to 5 hours and cost around 400 bills. I hate stealerships. Decided not to have it done. Now I do not know what to do. Thinking of going to my friend who is a mechanic or another person that works on 350Z but he's a bit far.
  5. Here is a couple of pictures of my truck
  6. Just wanted to say Hi. I drive a 2002 Pathfinder LE and loving it. Its bascilly stock with no mods yet. I'v had the usual problems like Front tubes rotting and O2 problems, but other than that with 87k miles on it, its perfect. I will probably have a lot of questions for you guys in the near future. Thanks
