    Weird dash light issues......

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Out of the middle of nowhere I all of a sudden get the following lights showing up on my dash:

     

    BRAKE SLIP VDC OFF

     

    They all came on after I had been driving about 5 minutes. After searching, I saw something similar (but different lights) that said teh alternator may be on the way out. All the checks show the alternator is fine, but the lights have come on one or twice over the last couple days. Any ideas?

    Difficult to Start and Rough Idle

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I changed the fuel filter about a month ago, and didn't get any noticable improvement. I have run some Seafoam through it and some alcohol and didn't see any difference either. I will check the fuel pump this weekend and see if that turns anything up....

    Hard to start with rough idle

    Already posted in the Garage, but I know I sometimes have a tendancy to only troll the year-specific forum..... Pathy is hard to start and has a rough idle, checked the cam, crank, and coolant sensors, all check good. Only way I can get it to start is stand on the gas while it is cranking, and probably get through 6-8 revolutions before it starts up. If you have any insight, please let me know. Thanks!

    Ok, checked for codes..... none. Checked the crank, cam, and coolant sensors.... all check good. When it decides it doesn't want to start (which is now happeneing more frequently) the only way I get it to start is stand on the gas. Could I be missing something from the fuel side??

    It will happen all times of the day and I can have a fine start, cut it off and have a starting issue again..... this time gas mileage seems unaffected, it's just the starting issue and rough idle. I originally thought I had water in the fuel, ran some seafoam through it and have been through a few tanks since.

     

    Oh, and it is distributorless and uses individual coil packs instead of wires.

    Have a nice long story, but will stick with the specifics:

     

    A month of so ago, the Pathy was difficult to start and would idle really rough for a few minutes, gas mileage was affected. It eventually gave me a CEL code was misfire cyl #1. Replaced the spark plug and coil, ran fine for a few weeks no more CEL. Now on and off the Pathy is difficult to start again, really rough idle, but no CEL. I have also changed the fuel filter, but with no results. It only happens every now and then..... any ideas or things to check?

    Warn Hub Snap Ring

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    I swapped out my OEM hubs over the weekend and installed the Warn hubs. When I got the hub installed, it seemed like the axle didn't stick out far enough to get the snap ring back on. The Warn installation instructions stated that if the spline didn't extend far enough to install the ring, then it didn't need reinstalled. I've looked at a s**t ton of posts about the hubs, but do not see any mention of the snap ring. Any input? Thanks!

    CCW Permit

    in Off-Topic

    Runs about $150 in Florida with the course and then state fees. You used to be able to take your class, send in your application and get it back in about a week. With everyone sweating whether or not Obama is going to cut down our rights, it now taked 10-12 weeks to get it back. The good thing though is once you have a CCW permit, it waives your waiting time if you want to buy something else.... :aok:
