ok, problem... for a while now
92 pathfinder, 5-Spd XE, 250Km on Odometer. VG30E - MPFI
Intermittently runs like crap. Feels like a V5, or sometimes less. In some cases, can stall when Idling. Lots of gas smell, and white smoke. Havent found a trigger yet, but it started after some 'in the water' time. That was months ago. I can get the vehicle to run a bit better with mass amounts of Injector cleaner, but even then... While Ive been troublshooting, weve been gettin a lot of wetness on the left coast, so the water may be a factor.
Ive replaced the sparks, and wires, and distibutor cap, and of course fuel filter. tried to reset the ECU a few times, but doesnt seem to do much. Also, the timing belt is only 6 months old, and the air filter is clean. again, the problem is intermittent, so, maybe an injector that is partially clogged..
My mind, with some assistance, has come to some possibilities:
-fuel injectors-plea$e no
-air intake leak
-ehaust manifold leak and/or o2 sensor
-head gasket maybe
-Water in the Fuel tank, or possibly the fuel pump itself..
Anyone had this problem, or have a suggestion? She's driving me nuts!
Oh, and if anyone saw on my intro, I had a problem with the Calmini steering kit, but it was the wrong Pitmann arm. Calmini is sending the other one free of charge. sweet. I really cant wait to get that in there...
Thanks for the advice on the steering kit
