well took the fuse out and it was blown so i'll get a new one and a cigarrette lighter adapter for it tomorrow and let ya'll know how it goes

Oh i've already taken it apart and tried to look through it it's just way too much for me to understand. And i'll ask and see if he has the receipt for it i'm not exactly sure why they didn't return it..

I have a brand new cobra cb that won't turn on...would it be cheaper to bring it to a shop to get it fixed or to just scrap it? Or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it myself?

Well just recently the pathfinder started making a noticably loud ticking noise from thte engine. I've searched through looking for it and what i've came up with is it could either be a ticking valve head or a ticking manifold stud(to tell the truth i have no clue what that is). It also has a rough startup on cold days and for the first couple of minutes the cab smells like exhaust. If anyone could help inform me on what they think is the problem then it would be appriciated Also whatever it is it will have to wait till the spring to be fixed i just don't have the funds to fix it now, so is there anything that could help it till then? like thicker oil?

oh wait i read what B said wrong. somehow i got it mixed up with wheel bearings.haha

well i've heard the bushings are a PITA and that it's dangerous if they get too bad. i'll take a look at them tomorrow

so i have a question i heard some rattling up front today when i came home. i was on this trail and the only time i heard it was when i would hit a rut. i went under it and looked and all of the bearings look good still but the left side of the front sway bar seemed loose. i just didn't know if mild flexing in ruts could damage the sway bar

thanks guys my dad's takin care of it over the years

here's some pics

woooooo the pathfinder's street legal got it insepcted with new tires!

how much do volt meters run? i gotta go out this weekend and get some parts for the pathfinder and i might pick up one while i'm out. and the maniflods don't look too bad they just have one little crack in them

bump.

http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm I don't weld yet but damn. That's nasty stuff considering how easily someone could do that. And i never read those little warnings either

I can find my way around most of the engine but when it comes to wiring. i know nothing. where exactly is the hotwire?

cleaned the throttle body..runs pretty good. My mom went and got alot of stuff and she got a FRAM oil filter. i've seen it everywhere not to use these but i've never known why not to?

thanks i'll change all of them sunday Well it's getting worse and worse. This morning i went to start it anddd..needed to be jumped. jumped ran it around the property, parked it near the house to clean the MAF. cleaned MAF and went to start it(maybe 20 minutes after i parked) and won't crank. Had to jump it to move out of hte way for my mom's car..but on the plus side it runs great now! very even idle and rev. doesn't act like it's going to cut out anymore

i'm going to bring it to wal mart and get it tested whenver i get it to pass inspection the i'll go from there.. mom said she would pick up any kinds of fluid that i needed today.. i know there's plentty of fluid to change on the thing. It hasn't had much use in the past few years just me drivin it around and goin through a little mud. So what fluids should be changed on it and what kind of fluid should she get

There's nothing wrong with it. Just gives you more traction

thanks again for the help my mom is picking up spark plugs and throttle body cleaner on her way home. I think my biggest problem right now is the battery being dead. I ran it for an hour yesterday(hade to jump it) and it started up in the evening without a jump. Battery didn't even sound weak at all. Went to start it this morning to try and clean the MAF and doesn't even have enough battery to turn it over 1 time. I made certain yesterday that everything was closed and nothing was on theat would run the battery down.

thanks that's exxactly what i'm lookin for. do you think that i should replace manifolds with headers or just get new manifolds?

also anyting that you think would be helpful or good in the truck can be added too

Ok to start things off i turned 16 yesterday and i ahve to get the pathfinder to at least pass inspection. I have started threads about all of the problems i'm having but i'm going to put them all in here for more opinions and orginazational sakes. **WARNING I WILL ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS** To start things off i'll list the things that i've already ordered and the stuff i can do without help. 1. Windshield Wipers 2. Hood latch assembly(mine is bent all to hell) 3. Ripping out the carpet interior and putting bed liner down 4. New stereo system(haven't ordered yet..looking at alpine or pioneer) Now i'll put down the problems i'm having(this is where i need help) 1. If it hasn't been run in a couple of days whenever i start it up it runs like crap. it sputters and i have to give it gas for about 30 seconds or it will cut out. Also it smells like exhaust fumes in the cabin. it's a pretty strong smell. 2. I can't keep the battery charged for more than 2 days. We've replaced the alternator recently and it's a fairly new battery(a year old). We did a bypass ignition source because the one on the key stopped working. All it is is a button on the dash that goes to the starter and the battery with a relay. I don't think that it would suck battery life but i'm not sure. The positive cable is pretty corroded idk if that would suck battery life either. 3. 4 wheel drive does not work. havin it looked at by a friend not sure if it is CV's or hubs 4. Needs to be aligned. Bad steering wheel wobble. The last 4 are the questions that i need help with. anything would be appriciated. I'll update this as i do these things with pictures then maybe start modding it

thanks everyone. i m keepin it stock right now cause i'm not sure if i'm going to get a project 4x4 or an old muscle car. if i get an old car i ll mod the pathfinder

turnin 16 tomorrow and my parents gift is to fix the pathfinder up for me. it's only got a few things to make it legal including the o2 sensor but all in all it'll be great.
