Hi, what are do's/dont's if the engine is stalled while driving (automatic transmission)? I would: 1. Switch the selector to N 2. restart the engine if it fails then: 1. Depending on a traffic and conditions a) depress the brake pedal and when it loses pressure in cylinders start using manual brake or ...(fill in, please) Nick

Couple days ago I had both belts changed on my 2001 Pathfinder. I was there when he (mechanic) finished it, tested it, no squeaking. Next morning I started it and squeaking noise lasted for 5-10 seconds and then stopped. I noticed it happening now every time the engine is cold started. Are the belts too tightened? Nick

Thanks Trainman, I will post some pictures soon. So, again, in 4L, if I understand: 1. Stop the vecihle 2. Put it in N 3. Switch to 4L 4? Maybe stupid, but do I have to put it back in D after or it will run with the main gbox in N?

Finally I bought it (12,500 CAD). There are no noise problems, it's just that I didn't know, as you said, that it's not AWD. So, I am here now with my questions: 1. When I want 4WD, what should I do? Put the main gearbox in neutral and just switch the lever to 4H or the main shift has to be in D position? 2. Is it true that only premium (94) gasoline should be used? 3. It doesn't have running boards. What is the best place to get them (I have small kids). Thanks, Nick

And here is the CarFax report for it: http://www.carfax.com/phoenix/external/vie...bxvhtbDgDaCTSi3

Guys, you are awesome. Looks like I am going to spend some time here trying to learn many things. The Pathy I checked is automatic. Here is the link http://www.buysell.com/root/detail/British..._4dr_Brown.aspx :type: :type:

Thanks Trainman. No, it doesn't have the knob like the one on the picture. It has a stick. I guess yours is electoronic swich, this one is manual.

Hi all, I am new to this forum and I joined since I am looking at buying a used (2000-2001) Pathfinder (Vancouver, BC). I haven't had SUVs before. Yesterday I went to one dealer selling 2001 with 150 000 km. I took it for a quick ride and I noticed, when switching to AWD that it becomes noisy under the hood between driver and passanger seat. I felt vibrations holding the knob (that switches modes). Dealer's explanation was that it hasn't been driven in AWD mode. So, should I be concerned with this? Thanks, Lee :confused:
