i would replace the radiator

The water is the easiest. I personally use a test light.I hook the ground to battery neg and run the tip of the test light along each wire. Simple physics while the truck is running- electricity seeks the shortest route to ground and will arc to the tip of the test light where it is bad.

You have a short. When the fuse blows in that circut you need to trace what is in that circut. It is simple because your fuse is blowing. Try each component to see what causes the fues to blow

Sounds like a lifter the way it comes and goes. I would poor water on the cap to see if there is a arc. If so that would be a cracked cap. It will misfire also. Could be a bad wire arc but that usually happens between the head and wire by the plug

If you hear a rattle noise from the front cover it is loose. They can brake at start up or driving down the freeway

I think the NTB is on this site for the port installed wiring diagram. On the old school Nissan's the manufacture used a starter kill as part of the alarm system. Once you see how simple it is you can see why it really did not work if a thief knew where the jumper was -

Yes under the drivers seat with the access hole for adding key fobs. If it has never been accessed the label will not have a hole in it exposing the yellow set button. In some models the module closet to the door under the seat is the abs control mod-I think. -

Then one of two things happen. The ignition switch jumper harness has been bypassed or the alarm was installed incorrectly -

I would pay a lock smith to rekey the ign to your original key code -
As far as the B1S2 02 sensor. There is a TSB for a ecm update and it also recomends replacing both. On the P1491 it is the fuel vapor recovery valve in the back near the gas tank. It looks like a flying saucer it will also cause a small evap leak code. There is no way for the ecm to detect it-it assumes it is bad but look at the lines going to it for cracks and be careful not to top off when filling. I have found fuel in the lines

The key cylinder is not the actual problem. It is the electrial part in the back that you can buy separate. It may still not be the problem -
What is your pressure at? The first thing I check is the freon level and see what the low/high are doing.

Actually the factory alarm does have a starter interupt circut -

Erratic RPM while accelerating and rough idling
byob replied to JsPathfinder's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Yes you can. It is a series of shifter position and pushing the od button and then counting the flashing od light on the dash -
Secondary shoes wear prematurely at 30,000 miles and above. It is a Calsonic design issue not Nissan that had radiator problems. When Nissan buys parts from vendors and they wear out or break it would be under the applied warranty that Nissan covers and possibly charges back to the vendor. Because of pending lawsuits Nissan has extended the radiator coverage at a prorated cost to the client. 10 years 80,000 miles extension free, 80,000 -90,000 miles is a $2,500 copay and 90,000-100,000 miles $3,000 copay 10 year limit. This is of course if there is transmission damage

Just a thought when it comes to electrical parts -I go factory. Better quality and a good warranty -
Got to start with the basics. Fuel-spark-air and see what you are not getting. Possibilities are-timing belt broke, cap/rotor, fuel filter plugged, check for codes, did the alternator fail? Huge list but you have to see what you are not getting

Need to check starter draw amperage. Also like was just mentioned check your inhibitor relay. It may click but inside it looses continuity on the contacts. On the 3.0 Nissan put the oil filter above the starter for what ever reason and may contribute to its death. And check the back side of the electrical connector on the ignition switch and make sure it is getting a full 12v to the relay. One more thing make sure the truck is in park or neutral all the way -
Mine is gold need to ad that color.

byob replied to JsPathfinder's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
There could multiple possibilities. Is the ses light on,how much off roading did you do,what gear is it in? Could be cap/rotor, torque converter material coming apart that clogs the pick up screen. Plugged fuel filter, mas or injector a lot to check -
Like posted the Titan uses a coil over shock set up. Your pathfinder uses a torsion bar which is a coil in a straight line

Alternator output might be correct but the diodes are failing. Have it tested
