Depending on time and the amount of maintenance you need or want to do when the power valves screws are done its a great time to do- - Knock sensor - Spark plugs - injectors/injector o-rings - Thermostats ( there are 2) - Intake coolant hose (buried under the intake) - valve cover gaskets All of these require the intake manifold to be torn down.

Hey all, I've got a 1998 nissan pathfinder that recently had the instrument cluster die on me so I sent it off for repair. Only problem is I need to drive the pathy to and from work and it only makes it about a day before the battery dies due to the alternator being triggered by the cluster. Does anyone here have any experience bypassing the cluster to make the alternator charge the vehicle when its on? I did a test with a multimeter and as soon as I unplug one of the big plugs on the cluster while it runs it goes from 14+ volts immediately to 12-12.7v. Any way I can jump a wire anywhere to bypass it for the next couple weeks? Thanks

Ok so my family and I inherited my late uncles 2002 pathfinder. This truck has sat in the driveway for nearly 7 plus years and never started. I was able to get it started with a new battery and some fresh gas and it still runs just fine, minus the check engine light. We are in the process of transfering over ownership so it can be insured and registered to my mother. I am in the process of cleaning it up and getting it running better and changing filters, fluids, tires and whatever else I stumble across on the pathfinder facebook groups. This one has me concerned the most. I want to make sure it was either done by a dealership or I will have to do it. I don't want to spend all the money on getting this truck running and roadworthy to then have the engine blow from a dropped screw. Anyone able to help?

I'm gonna assume this is an automatic transmission? If manual, no power valve screws. If automatic, I know of no way to tell externally. Once you've done the work to see them, it's 30 more minutes to just replace the screws and loctite. You'll know the first one you try to remove if they were redone correctly. If he was the type to take it to the dealer, call them with the VIN. They should be able to tell you. If you know the likely shop he might have used, you could try calling them. Otherwise you are pretty much out of luck. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
