Are they sylvania bulbs? I had both burn out within 20 min of each other once. At night. That was fun til I could find a place to pull over.

Also only use an OEM thermostat if you can. I have replaced more aftermarket ones than I can remember. They just don't seem to work worth a fskc.

If you find one, let me know. As well as rear disk parking brake cables... I'll pay whatever you ask, lol.

Ahardbody on here did something with vacuum hose inside of his to stiffen them up. Maybe in his build thread?

The knock sensor won't really affect how it runs. Not on these engines anyway.

You have to be pretty stupid to steal the most recognizable pathfinder around... Glad you have it back!

I would start with checking the fuel pressure, and then the impedance (ohms) of the injectors. As well as the codes. There is a how to here for the codes. That will likely lead you on the right track. Recent tune up?

That hose is the bypass hose. Recommended to change when you do a timing belt service. I have purchased an aftermarket one before. I believe gates makes them.

Yeah, and less maintenance on the drums. I seem to replace my pads every other year in the back. And I don't really notice a difference in the performance TBH. Other than the fact that my &^%*ing parking brake doesn't work.

I had to replace the BPT valve on mine because it was making that noise. It sounds like an exhaust leak under the hood, but it is not. My 95 has the BPT valve but my 1994 does not. So it may not be relevant to you.

Do a block test. If it comes back fine, keep on driving. It sounds like just normal vapor from a cold engine. Mine does it all the time. In the winter it is so thick you can't see behind the truck lol.

You can still get a new one from Nissan, if you have to. That's the route I'll probably go.

Look for a 1st gen xterra. 2000-2004. I have a supercharged as my DD and love it.

I'd say its probably the alternator, or the idler pulley for the AC.

No they are not the same.

A bad thermostat would likely stick open or shut completely. But they are cheap to replace so it couldnt hurt. How old is the radiator? Ive seen on r50s several times where the radiatior has become internally plugged/scaled and cant cool properly. Replacement has solved it.

Had that happen to me. Lucked out and found a good used one, but now my gas gauge doesn't work right. For the pics, what are you using for hosting?

Yeah, still looking for some for mine...

Hopefully it is not the problem but it would be the first thing Id check after making sure the fuel pump is running.

You can still get the seal from Nissan. Around 60 dollars if I remember right. Not worth the time pissing around in a wrecking yard for me.

Might want to pull the cap and see if the rotor turns when you crank it. If it doesn't the belt likely broke.

Check to make sure the pump is running. Check the fuses and the sending unit (known to corrode at the wires going into it at the top). There is an access hole under the cargo area carpet. Did you check to see if there is spark? When was the timing belt last changed?

That is what happened to mine. I picked up a new one off rock auto, and was running fine again.

You can either fix yours and then you know what you have. Or find another one and possibly start a whole new set of issues.
