I need pics of your intakes (the ones that are not stock, unless someone has a 45 degree bend piece by the TB to sell me). I need a new piece of rubber that connects to the air cleaner and sits on the TB it is about a 45 degree bend and the STEALER want over $94 for it. Soooooooooo, I am going to now make my tubing. Let me see what you guys came up with so I can put one together straight fron the pop charger! Thanks a mil for your help and please check out my P300 thread to see if you have any other ideas for my problem, as the leak in the air intake could cause a little something??!

Swapped the Dizzy...truck idles much smoother, revvs smoother. P300 still in effect. I can't see it though...I used the timing light and this time I can't find the miss....I can hear it in the ignition, but I am just not seeing the missfire in the light...anyhoo--- I need to replace a part of the intake (closest to the TB 45 deg bend part) it does have a small tear, other than that what in the hell is left?? Improper Spark Plug--------------------Maybe? Insufficient Compression----------------Oh boy Incorrect Fuel Pressure-------------How do I figure that out? EGR Valve---------------------------------Nope Injector circuit open or shorted--------------Ok, how would I know that? Injectors-----------------------------------^^^same^^^ Intake air leak---------------Working on it Ignition secondary circuit is open or shorted----new wires and plugs cap and rotor Lack of fuel---------not hardly Magnetized flywheel (drive plate)-------so hows that happen and how do I know?

Sure will Get extra fuel line before you attempt...I don't know if anyone has a great way of detaching that line from the filter, but mine was well stuck on and I had to lose a little of my line and replace a section. You may also want to take some zip ties down there also as my bracket was rusted and snapped off imediately when I tride to un-bolt the bracing that holds up the filter.

Plugs, Wires, Cap and rotor all have less than 4 tanks of fuel on them---thats what....800 miles, lol! They should all still be top notch, after seeing the cam pos sensor code and seeing the miss on all 6 wires I am blaming the dizzy since it doesn't matter how much or how little fuel I tell my AFC to give the engine. I would say though that temp of engine is directly related after sitting idle even at say a long light it gets bad hunting for rpms and shimming, but fresh off the interstate she sits good for a while then starts shuddering as time passes sitting still...of course to make it tougher yet when the engine is in closed loop it runs perfect! what are the three things? Rotor/Dizzy Cams not moving? ??? Venge I have a haynes but hadden't expected answers there!?

Bought a Dizzy from Distributor King on eBay...$220 plus 6.95 ship. They are in NY so I will have it on Friday...Hooray! -alcohol- Now then party over, how do I put this in? Looks easy, but couldn't find anything in the XPLORx4 online answers FSM !!

Conqoured so much with the Path and now the ugliest head reared yet! P0300 Random Multiple Missfire. I found on the net a post by none other than lewisnc100 himself....I have also recovered 1 time a Cam Pos Sensor code also (is it the Dizzy?) "Start by checking for an intake air leak, listen while the engine is idling for a leak. When was the last time the plugs were changed, replace them and see how they look if it's been a while and also check the ignition wires and distributor cap. Beyond that here's the list of possible causes: Improper Spark Plug Insufficient Compression Incorrect Fuel Pressure EGR Valve Injector circuit open or shorted Injectors Intake air leak Ignition secondary circuit is open or shorted Lack of fuel Magnetized flywheel (drive plate)" After having checked this phenomonon with my timing light I have discovered that all 6 cylinders at one point or another do have a miss (light skips flashing sometimes even 2 or 3 in a row)...the quesion is with no vac leaks and a solid EGR do you next blame the DIZZY? After all that is where I am checking the energy flow that is not happening? -study- I know that I am wearing you guys out but all input is appreciated! :bow:

Anybody out there with a 98 pathy tell me where the vacuum line from under the TB goes to on their truck?? I was unable to down load all that I needed about my 98

uh-oh.... Venge is up to something!?

Venge your pic looks more like my underhood...minus the throttle opener. I do have the vacuum port under my TB like in XPLOX4's pic though---what the H?

Now I am confused! http://www.xplorx4.com/pathfinder/servicemanual/EC.pdf under Evaporative Emissions System look at the Emission Line Diagram

I would say (at least for myself) that if you still have a path...gas isn't what's up!! 3 Cheers for Pathies!!! Gas is sort of like food---gottta have it and as you may notice some need more than others!? :o

Gad it! I picked up a sensor at the JY, and voila...it all works sweet now!!! If anyone has any questions at all just holla...I even made the auto dim work on the OH console!

Hi guys, as you know I have been battling my path to run like a thoroughbred. I have discovered that there are many of my vaccuum lines messed up...yep should have done all the work myself If anybody out there can provide information based off of the pic I have posted it would be greatly appreciated. Inside the coroded piece of metal is a small vacuum solenoid...could you please tell me where your lines run to? I am in need of this info. I have found that the EGBP soleonoid (backpressure solenoid) was incorrectly vaccumed as well as the EGRBP valve was unhooked from its line all together. This has cause great havock to the engine, hopefully no damage. I say this because the EGR can allow more air into the engine whenever it gets the correct temp and vac (?) so I am guessing this is why the engine is running so lean---likewise after all of this is routed correctly (minus the above), the EGR valve flutters instead of a solid rise and fall unless it is under extreme acceleration.... a new EGR will be here for me on thursday!!! :secret: psst the dealer was 2nd to the cheapest for this part!! $167 with new gaskets!!

NOW...I have installed the Air/Fuel Controller and just yesturday put the wideband O2 sensor with meter in and I have discovered that the truck has lost its mind!!! With the AFC you can set 1% incrememnt for every 200rpms of fuel/air and 1 minute the truck enjoys what it is getting then it throws a curve and says way way lean...all at the same RPM within 15sec. I have a feeling that the EGR is not functioning properly....as I had a Saturn that had a funny accelerastion and the same types of hesitation....this would add up to a CRAZY righ lean aspect.....soooo I guess that the path will get a new EGR in the next week...dag they are expensive (after spending $500 on electronics). I am not too upset though since I spent $300 to get the truck on DIAG at my local stealer!!

Do you think that I can get a door lock popper (or 2) to throw open the R50 lock latch?

Guys I wanted to do a mod I saw on here about 1 year ago. Someone had made their rear hatch glass pop open and catch just far enough to let some fresh air through the cab of he vehicle..... I have searched for over 1 hour and can't find it.... the only other way to look would be to chase down all of 88's comments, since I know that he was the first one to say something positive about the mod... HELP as this is a super sweet mod and I really want to try it! Thanks A Mill guys! (98)

Sweet, I have the thing at the bottom of the pic...it is either the AC temp switch or sensor for the AC...it will not read the right resistance to give an accurate temp...nor will the sensor in the intake piping. I have tapped all of these! I wll be yardin'it tomorrow and will come home with one of these (I hope! ) Thanks a mil for the pics!!

Yo mang, that 's a different (98) but anyhooo I don't have the temp sensor...I read your response...what does it look like?? I have an ac switch or somthing like that up there but I don't know if I know what the Ambient Temp Sensor looks like...luckily the truck that this came from is still in the JY so I may have a shot at getting the sensor cheap!!

I agree totally, the question is...is there damage associated with this phenom.? At higher RPM's it is quiet, I guess that the lifters are floating between lobes a little? SAFC is now installed, I will tune a little tonight or tomorrow...and I have all pics of the ecu and what wires you need to make it run...thanks to KMGAR and Turbopath, I have offcially conqered this!! Tuning will be slight be me and when money becomes liquid again I am going to pay a shop to DYNO me....more details tomorrow!!

If the performance path goes south...I am liking the FJ (in burgundy) :sniff: :sniff: Sorry Nissan, you are losing your touch with size and ability building these hugmongnanomouse land machines It really would feel like leaving a good girlfriend Totally hear what you are saying cvearl....this of course is only if the APath is to give up on me!!

O-K dudes, so far advancing the timing has helped....you must do it the Haynes way or at least put your truck into self diag mode first...I have set my timing at about 10-11 degrees BTDC and it has responded well, though I still have a code to pull. It may be the EVAP connector again, or the reported "lean left bank". Anyone with knowledge about this chime in..injectors, lifters, head rebuilding ETC. I am looking to finish this on a good note so that all will have at least a guide to go by with these upgrades! Three Cheers to KMGAR99 for sending out to me a PDF copy of the ECU pinouts for the S-AFC install (still pending)

Ok Peeps, Where on earth can I find a pin-out guide for the ECU? The one in the haynes manual is good, but when it says Knock sensor is white....there are 5 whites just on 1 half of the ecu harness, and its corresponding colors (in the book) do not match! I can't believe that I googled this and it is no where! Please give a hand!

:o Oh and I will use the butt dyno first, to be foloowed by a real one!

What is an EGT? I am sure I can figure it out but I will ask you...how will I know what it is running ie 14.1 or 12.5:1 ? Will the safc tell me? I am installing today--wish me luck...seems straight forward..LoL that shhh is never straight and def. not forward though huh?
