  1. Depends on your budget, your time. You will never get the money out of the rig that you put into it. My thought, it's paid for, no monthly payment, cheaper insurance, cheaper registration.

     

    Why did it not pass smog before? I would say a full tune up, O2 sensor, timing belt. You can easily put more money back into it than the rig is worth. Consider that.

     

    Check out the "how many miles on your pathfinder" thread. I just turned 241,000. Still going strong, knock on wood. Taken care of, this engine will last.

     

    Regular oil changes really helps. Not having to pay someone to perform repairs, priceless

  2. That information is around here in threads somewhere. The timing marks are on the pieces that bolt to the block behind the cam gears. The upper timing cover will bolt to it. If that makes sense? If you have a nissan timing belt, there will be marks on it for both cams and the crank gear. Gotta make sure you are TDC on number 1 cylinder first.

  3. My first thought is, if you can hear the motor but nothing is happening, regulator. But, can you manually, by hand, pull the window up?

     

    I put my window down the other day. It went down and I continued to hear the motor. Once I took it apart the cables for the regulator weren't broken. My first thought was the regulator, so I ordered one before taking it apart. Turns out the motor was toast. I ended up replacing the motor and regulator. Both needed replacing.

     

    I have a 95. So I don't know if the motor and regulator are sold together or separately compared to a 96.

    This was caused by a plugged oiling port. Right cam is frozen in the head. Couldn't budge it with a chisel and hammer.

     

    Please change your oil on a regular basis. This could have been prevented.

    I think you see where I'm going with this. A lot of things we do for our vehicles do nothing more than have a placebo effect. Some people swear by a KnN air filter. Some people actually think that their fancy cold air intake, that sits in a hot engine compartment and not blocked off from the engine heat, actually helps.

  6. There are a lot of threads on this same issue. Use the search.

     

    There are many possible issues causing this. Maf, idle air control valve, vaccuum leak.

     

    Download the factory service manual. It will have testing procedures for checking the possible things causing the problems.

     

    Depending on mileage, over 100k, my first guess would be idle air control valve.
