Alk how long does that take. I been driving several days and light still on. If it does not go off I am going back so they can do more work on vac. lines. I hate seeing the engine light on even though it is not hurting the truck.

They checked the codes and it told them vacuum was the problem. They changed the lines.The mechanic told me that you have to drive at a certain speed for some much time to reset the computer.

I hope I explain this right. I got my valve covers done. First I got the passenger side done and week later got the driver side done. After I got the driver side done my check engine light came on. Nothing seemed to happen to the pathy, everything seems ok. Well I took it back and found that the vacuum lines had a crack so they replaced several lines. Light went off but after two miles light came back on and I took truck back and they told me that the computer has to reset and it takes some time driving for the light to go out. Just wonder if this sounds right or does this seem fishy.

You can go to ebay and get a handle for $7, I just bought one for driver side and it looks and feel like the same as old one. [/img] Also the part that has 34 on it make sure the small white plastic piece did not fall out of the hole.

Would you recommend cleaning engine like this guy. Basicly he covers alt and dist cap. Then sprays degreaser all over engine and wash it all down with hose. I don't want to try this if its going to cause problems later.

maybe pulling the fuse

can someone tell me where in the FSM to find valve cover replacement. All I see is stuff about the valves. It looks like you just take stuff of the valve cover and then unscrew philip screws. Do I need to take off the spark plug wires.

I think I will, since I been reading these forums I have done alot of work on my pathy. I always get worried since this is my main vehicle. Next project is find leak,change valve cover gasket, and I just watched a video on how to change PCV valve. So I am doing that next to.

When I changed my oil the first time I got really pissed trying to get filter off. So I let someone else deal with all the pain and aggravation. I did a search on here but forgot about the FSM.

Took my pathy in to Walmart for quick oil change and I was told I had major oil leak. So I checked under my truck and did notice small drop but no major like they said. Well I did notice that my passenger valve cover has some oil around it so I wanted to change the gasket. I read on here how easy that one is so I will try it. My question is: (1) are the bolts known to break easy. I get nervous about bolts breaking on other pathy's I read about. (2) is there anything I need to know before I start. And what would you recommend on how to find oil leaks. I am going to clean all oil off as much as I can with rags but did not know if anyone has any tricks I can use. And I am going to pray its not the Rear Main Seal. I just got the tranny done and I would hope they would tell me if that seal was leaking.

Anyone know a cheap code reader that will work for our pathfinder. My abs light and brake light our on. Its been on for 1 year so it not really doing anything to hurt pathfinder. I just want to fix it.

Man I am tired finally found out what the whining noise was after weeks of searching and buying two fan clutch's, panicking over the water pump and the cost to repair it and at the end of it, it was a $23 part.......the Dam Idler Pully. Also finally got time to put my driver side door handle on. Dam that little thing is a bitch but finally got it done. nap time......

I have the same whining noise. I got my waterpump and ect. changed about year ago. I hope its not going out. I am going to take fan off sunday when I am off and see if its that. if not I will try and see if it maybe my alt. I hope it is the alt that is easy and cheaper to change.
