    65 Mph And Rpm Question

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Hi there, maybe I am losing my mind but what are you guys and gals seeing the rpm's at going 65mph. I have stock 235-70-15 tire size. I am seeing anywhere from 2600 to 3000. It seems that when I start driving on the highway for the first time that day I am at 3000 rpm for a good bit then it drops to 2600 or so. I don't remember it doing it in the past and just want to catch something early if something is going wrong. There are no strange noises and everything seems to be working properly. Maybe it is just an age thing, 122k and 97 model

     

    Thanks

    Interior Floor

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    The carpet floor in the pathy is pretty gross and I was wondering if it would be worth my time to just pull it all out and put in some herculiner or something like that and then rubber mats. I know I have seen someone who has done this but I wasnt sure how involved it was?

     

     

    Probably would not be all that hard but unlike some vehicles like jeeps that are basically a tub, you will have wire loom and lots of random shapes of floor pan. It would always look very dirty as well. Hit the salvage yard and get some carpet out of one of them.

     

    It would also be crazy loud in the truck as well.

    1997 Vapor Canister

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    I think a few pply on N4w had simiar problems with there canisters where getting wet was the cause, I think some of those few took the canister out and let it air in a warm dry place and had no codes when they re-installed.

     

     

    I pulled mine out last and once I got past 13 years of dirt and sand falling on me my canister had the charcoal brick break up for sure. I could pour the charcoal out of the box so it was bad. The new/used unit is solid so I rest the light blew out all the lines and cleaned all the pieces in the engine compatment as best I could so well see what happens.

    Well I stopped by the local salvage yard and will picked up the complete assembly with all valves and such for $35. I shook the unit and no charcoal came out or made and strange noises. They told me that if it did not fix the problem I can bring it back. I figure since my unit has the loose charcoal in it that this can't be any worse.

    Question About Axel Play

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    So I am putting my manual hubs on yesterday on my 97 and pass side was super simple no problem. Got to drivers side and the hub was a B(*&H to get on. Super tight and I actually had to use a rubber dead blow to help assist. So it is on and all is well and feels great but I noticed some play in the axel where I could hold the hub and move it back and forth a bit, so some in and out play not side to side. I did not have that on the passanger side. I don't get any clicking or any kind of noises when driving. What are your thoughts on the play? Bad bearing/cv/axel?

     

     

    Thanks

    just clean it. Then go from there. start free, right?

    I agree, I blew the lines out via the directions from the dealer and strangley enough I did not see any charcoal bits flying out? I did have the air flowing through so no clog in the lines. Who knows where it all went or was comming from. I guess I will keep driving it till it becomes a problem.

    Before I start buying parts, I discovered my charcoal canister is leaking into the system (cel 1447)and it needs replace. I see post saying it van be had for $60. Everything I am finding is $140 price range and it is called a Vapor Canister (big box located left side of spare tire) I am assuming this is the same thing? Does it really need to replace the canister? I figure I can blow out the lines and clear the system of loose pieces.

     

    Thanks

    Gas Milage And Fuel Guage Question

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Wow not sure why there are three threads started on this.

    I don't have a for sure answer but I know the cold makes alot of difference to the mileaage.

    Plugs and wires that are older can cause issues.

    Maybe older fuel filter that.

     

    I would start by replacing those 3 things and it is also good maintaince as well.

     

    sorry not a big help.

    Welcome James ,

     

    Have you got any mud pics ?

     

    Not yet, I have been getting all the service items up to date. Front and rear diff drail fill/ Transfer case drain fill / transmission flush / Timing belt/water pump and all belts replaced/ Mile Marker hubs.

     

    I guess since that is all done now I need to find some mud amd hopefully not get stuck.. I will post new pics soon.

    97 ac controls acting up

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Hi everyone, just got my 97 and am finding my ac/heat controls are acting up. Here we go. Firt of Ac works fine and heat works fine as well as all the fan speeds. The issue is that at the coldest temp all is well then if I turn the dial on notch toward heat I get very hot heat. So I go from cool to heat and nothing in between. Trying to decide if it is the blower resistor, the controls them self or I see there is a little black box down low behind the middle dash that has a arm that moves electrically when I turn the ac/heat dial. Thanks for any help on this.

    Hi everyone I just picked up a nice little run around Pathfinder. It is a 1997 LE in real nice shape. I have started doing the standards it may need. Changed the Diff fluids/Transfer case and Tranny. Getting the Timing belt and waterpump on tuesday. I think my first mod is putting on a set of Mile Marker Manual hubs. There are a couple of questions and will post them in the forum. Anyway I look forward to chating with you guys and gals. I have always had good luck on previous Mazda and Honda forums.
