Yeah. I surly learned alot. Mostly that your not finished till its fixed. This truck should run good for a long time! I am too broke to mod her now.. after all the repairs, but I was looking at different lift options last night... ive got the itch! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

And how! This was the toughest diagnosis I have come across.. I've been frustrated for weeks! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Success! I got it running with no codes earlier this morning and it has ran great all day. It was a combo bad coil, and crank sensor. I changed the MAF sensor last week ans there was no change in behavior. Over the last several weeks i have put two different sets of spark plugs in it, 3 cam sensors, new air filter and MAF sensor, and finally today change the crank sensor . After I changed the crank sensor I still had a random misfire and it wasn't running tip top much better though! I knew that 1 coil was slightly weaker than the others as I tested them when I changed to the second set of plugs, i assumed it was failing under load. So I change that coil and it runs like new. Finally success, but cost me alot of savings. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Mine ended up being a ball joint.. Threw me for a loop.. I couldn't find the issue after getting the truck jacked up. Then I stumbled on it when I was leaning on the tire I inspecting the suspension and found the give. The ball joint had over a half inch of play.. I'm uber glad I found it. And an easy fix too!

No change on fuel filter..looked at by mechanic. Trany flued looks good. We are stumped. Coils are giving proper ohms.. Changed tbe spark plugs again after only a week. Only code after clearing is cam sensor (replaced all three), then after warm up random mis fire and 02. I think the cat may be bad. Or its the crank sensor. Does the cam code (I believe 1310) also show up for crank sensor? Misfire has caused major lug and loss of power. I have been attempting to find the problem for over a month and nothing seems to work... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

After doing some research, I am fairly positive that this is a ignition coil issue. I have no idea which cylinder is misfiring.. Or how to identify which is the problem. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Another thing I am noticing is that sometimes it doesn't want to shift out of third gear into fourth . Also this heavy vibration occurs in what seems to be a second stage of fourth gear . Do these things have secondary overdrive or something? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Forgive some of the odd words in my posts. Damn auto correct on phone and tablet. Okay so I replaced the mass air flow sensor, left the battery disconnected to reset, and there is no change. Let me clarify that the motor does rev beyond 4500 rpm, it just lugs down at highway speeds. I get a vibration in the entire car in fourth gear between 2&3 rpm. If I accelerate and the vehicle shift into third gear the vibration goes away. Does anyone else have any ideas of what could be going on here? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

The wording looks fairly good on all parts. I wouldn't know if the is an issue somewhere in the middle of all said wires. Finally got the part yesterday, got the maxima part. Anxious to try it out but my truck is 45 mikes away at my in-laws house and we are having quite the storm today up here in Minnesota... Will update when I can Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Okay, cleaned the MAF sensor. No change at all. Truck seems to be getting worse. Could it still be a Cam sensor? I am at a loss and feel like i can no longer drive the truck. I drove about 50 miles interstate today for work and it seems to have gotten worse. The whole truck vibrates when in 4th gear between 2 and 3 rpm. Seems to do this when the truck settles to what seems to be a second stage of 4th gear. Any thoughts? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Thanks boys! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

OK got it... Mad Airflow Sensor.. I found a how to website for diagnosis of issues with this part. I will check it out. Does anyone else have an idea? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I'm not sure what a MAF sensor is.. Where would I find it? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Recently I brought my 01 Pathfinder to my mechanic, who works out of his garage and usually does a great job. I had a rattle in the front and which turned out to be a ball joint which he repaired. While he had it I asked him to look into a small issue I have been having at highway speeds. Every once in awhile I would get a hesitation while in cruise control. It felt like the motor would just lug down for a moment then fine. The mechanics first thought was to change spark plugs , which he did for 150 dollars. I was in a rush and didn't have time to do it myself however I thought that was a little expensive. After getting it back I found a new problem where there used to be a hesitation or the motor with lug down, I now have a vibration in between 2 and 3 rpm. The whole truck seems to lug down, and the sound in the truck sounds like when you have the window down and you get that pressure thump. It is very loud pressure sound. I couldn't hear my wife talking to me in the passenger side. After returning to the mechanic to tell him the issue, he said when he ran the codes that there was a code for a cam shaft sensor which she intended to replace but had ordered the wrong one. He was sure this was the issue. This was the first mention of this. So I ran to the auto parts store and pick 1 up. The mechanic was sure it was the 1 on the upper left side so we replaced it quick. Got back out on the highway, same problem. So I took the old sensor and replaced the upper sensor on the otherside. Same problem, so I went and got the lower sensor on the front brand new and replace it. Same problem. I'm at a loss, and the only notable code was for can sensor. The gas milage is worse and this issue can't be good on the motor. Has anyone had such an issue? Is there a fourth sensor? Please help! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
