Air filter was replaced probably 6 months ago. I'll probably pop the box open and check it out. I have no idea when the MAS was last cleaned, so I'll give that a look. I also have a (maybe) related problem where when I start the car the whole car shakes for about 30 seconds and the check engine light comes on. After the car has been running for about 30 seconds, it stops and the light goes away. Do you think its related?

So I put the car into reverse today and the engine promptly died after about moving backward 3 feet. I started it again, and the same thing happened. I started it a third time.... gave it about 30 seconds to warm up, pressing the gas a bit, and then it worked just fine. It has a new cap/rotor/plugs/wires. Any suggestions?

by the way edicer - the 280z (preferably a 78) is better

I agree with that. The back ones don't look nearly as bad as that one... but once they've cracked - they're just not nearly as pretty. Eventually I plan on taking them off on a saturday when I don't have anything to do besides sit down and watch TV. It'll give me something to do. Blower motor went out today... no fun driving around when you can't have the heater on in December.

Yes wood. Problem is - that the people before me left the windows down during rainstorms - and it made the "wood" paneling look like crap. Here's a quick picture that I snapped of the passenger's side door before I got out this morning.

by the way... the frame looks good. Especially considering this is a Utah car where the salt cakes the roads.

Replaced the driver's side seatbelt, driver's side wheelwell plastic rim (they wrecked the car and broke it in half), and the cloth seats were all replaced today. They also put in an after-market alarm system. They ripped about half of it out after they learned that it was draining the battery. I removed the other half today. The brake master cylinder is leaking, so I'm going to have to replace that. Anybody have tricks for that where I wouldn't have to bleed the brakes? The idler pully is squeaking. The power doors don't work at all (although at random times they will lock). I'm wondering if it's the door lock timer. The driver's side door controls are about half there. The door lock doesn't work as I've said before. It doesn't roll up the passenger window, but it rolls it down. Ideas? (by the way... I hate the wood paneling on my interior. bad bad bad idea.)

Yeah, I can understand why they were only put into the leather seats. That being said- then I'll have two switches that don't do anything... I'm OCD enough that I don't know how well that will fly with me. Man, you should see this pathfinder. It'd make grown men cry. Who knows the last time they changed the spark plugs before I did. One of the spark plugs wasn't even screwed in all of the way. The fuel filter was rusted... I laughed when I saw it. New cap and rotor, plugs, wires, and a few other things. Not even close to done on it - but it definitely sounds a lot better than when I got it.

Hi guys. Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks for letting me lurk on your forums and pick up a bunch of great tips. 1994 Pathfinder SE Apparently it has all of the options for that year. Leather seats, and seat warmers to name a few. Over the past few years (before I owned it) the seats took quite a beating, and now they look like crap. I picked up some 1995 seats (non-leather) from a junkyard, and I plan on putting seat warmers back into the seats. That being said - along with the current seats being hashed, the seat warmers got hashed too, and they no longer work. Have you guys put seat warmers in your pathfinders, and if so... I'm looking for a cheap option (I'm a college student) to get me by without sacrificing quality. Anything you guys suggest? Thanks in advance.
