originaly thats all I wanted to do to but the hose kept kinking. eventualy I got pissed and looked for another place to hook those lines up followed them to find somewhere else to hook em up. I found a spot on the throttle body and the other just on the back of the upper intake manifold. Now I can disconnect my vacuum lines and lift the upper manifold off to the side without messing with my coolant level. Make it a little more work to burp the air out, but the lines are so small its not that big of a deal.

I had my wiring harness all hooked up before I put the engine back in the truck. everything that goes to the top of the engine goes back to a the connector that sits on top of the passenger side valve cover. I also bypassed the metal coolant lines on the bottom of the upper air intake. So removing the upper intake is a lot easier. don't have to mess with clamps that are behind the engine.

Happy to help. Let me know if you manage to make the problem go away completely. I'm holding off a m30 ecu swap till I get this nailed down for sure.

AAAh that makes more sense. Out there in the California prairie. We need to get together and get a run setup.

I'm thinking you need to pull the passenger seat put your multimeter to the pins on the ECU and see if you can find a discrepency between whats coming out of your sensors and whats going back to the ecu. It doens't sound like a problem with the maf sensor itself to me.

geez where in norcal is it that hot recently. I live in Napa hasn't gotten over 90 in a while.

which (thank god) neither are hard to get to or expensive to replace.

you sure your not hearing the exhaust leak out of the slip fitting on the passenger side collector? the part that runs under the transmission over to the y pipe.

has anyone noticed a gas mileage change with the S1?

You've done the basics have you considered putting a vg33 block in ? I made that swap a while back made a pretty significant difference after all the other stuff. I got a long block for about 600 in cali. You should be able to find something around there. Nissannut has a write up on his website that does a pretty good job going over how to do it. Or you could always turbo it.

Good luck. Let me know if you do anything else that helps

Drove up to bear river and pulled a pennyweight of gold out.

I don't have pics but 1. disconnect harness 2. access back of plug where wires go inside you should see some rubber/silicone plugs sealing the wires in get a pick and pull it out 3. put a allen key or other suitable tool inside the resulting hole to release the connector pull it out from the plug. 4. solder on new wire however you see fit or better yet if you know where you can get the right size electrical connector replace it altogether with your new ground line.

So I've been working on the interior of my blue bomber and have been blown away at how effective (and cheap) simple ammonia and a wet vac is at getting stains and crap out of the upholstery and the carpet. I was wondering what everyone else uses on the inside and outside of your trucks. I figure its gotta be everything from whatever scrapes of a tree or rock or some pretty cool products.

so I soldered a secondary ground line to my maf connector (till I can get a new connector with good wires) and the problem is about 90% gone. I still have a minor wobble in my idle every couple seconds or so. Just wanted to throw that in there. Made a huge difference for me. Thanks

I think that actualy comes stock. I think IIRC that its supposed to act as a catch for oil droplets from your PCV system. I may be wrong on that though

Dude I have the exact same problem. Other than the intake filter is yours stock? Does yours go nuts while its in first with your foot off the gas like your rolling through a parking lot? Have you swapped out your o2 sensor? Tried unplugging mine and it didn't do anything different. I've done the auto to manual swap and swapped in a vg33 block and heads with thorley headers. Maybe we can at least figure out one of our trucks problems. I've opened up my idle screw on the manifold and that so far has helped a little. Namely when its starts stumbling it doesn't do it as hard.

BWAHAHAHA and thus begins my quest to build the ultimate shopping cart smasher

calling in a request for the templates too

LOL I'm just glad at least one of my posts helped someone

3/4 plywood would probably handle it or make a couple runners out of 2x6. I've had to do a few things on the dirt too.

FINALY GOT HIM SMOGED!!!!!! Been trying for 5 months. o2 = .2 HC = 25ppm @ 15mph and 1ppm @ 25mph CO = .02% @ a5mph and 0% @ 25mph NOX = 38 ppm @ 15mph and 4ppm @ 25mph HURRRAAAAAYYYYYYY BEER oops I mean HURRAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY PATHFINDER!!!!!!

just to jump in here. I just got done doing what you are asking about. You can use a 94 95 ecu in a 90-93 pathfinder if you change your o2 sensor. The 94 95 is the 18 mm o2 sensor and will not work on the earlier ecus it will do just what your describing. You can use a Federal on a cali or a cali on a federal truck just make sure the o2 sensor matches. Other than that everything else hooks up and works fine cruise control and all. Or at least it did for me.

anywhere you can on the engine block. I actualy built a cradle out of heavy duty strap. HTH
