  1. Man that was a merry-go-round. I was able to get bac to it,now the kids are in scool. Found alternator no charging,took to shop load tested no good,,would'nt even spin what he said. I did not suspect that ,,its only 8 months old. So to wrap this part of the story. What i thought with the way it ran was i needed a timing belt change{which it did} also noticed oil leak ,,replaced seal done. Turns out the whole time it was the alternator. Buy cheap get cheap. I think i have been pinching to many pennys this year. Part was not in stock so i will get back to ya when installed. Thanks again
  2. So i drove most of the day,,then just spudderd and died. Battery was dead,,called wife got jump and made it 8 blocks died. So i was not so lucky. Now i will get it home and get that scanner. go from there. The engine lite never came on will i still get a code? Thanks What could drain the battery so fast or do i just have a gremlin.
  3. Well i finished the job,fired it up and it runs better than when i bought it. Test drove last night ran better than it ever has. Woke up to 22 degrees this mornnin start her up take kids to bus stop and ran just fine,,but iam not ready to jump up and down untill i go for a longer test drive. I can tell you had i not come upon your forum i would still be pulling what hair i have left out. Thanks again guys! Go for another test dr.
  4. Thanks guys will do. Bac later
  5. Here is my story. First this a 94 pathfinder se with 211,000 miles. I noticed last week it started feeling a little sluggish and a couple of times die from a dead start,also engine light would come on if i accelerated hard. Upon restart of engine light is not on and won't untill hard acceleration. So i thought i'd look at the timing belt. I found the fr crank seal leaking. Thinking this the cause,replaced seal. belt and tensioner. Now when i fire it up it might run fine as did my test drive,but the next time i go to start it starts fine warmed 5 min then wen i start to move it spits and sputers like a diesel then dies,,hard to restart. Figured i missed something i went back in and ck'd timing O i dont know hundred times. I find nothing wrong. Is it possiabe that engine lite was indicating something else ? i need to get this fixed,,i dont want to tie a christmas tree to my wifes escort. Thanks again. I thought i would put it back together and get a scan tool.
