  • Your Pathfinder Info
    It's a 1995 pathfinder and acts like its running out of gas when it has plenty it's hard to crank. It acts worse when it's hot outside. It won't idle, it will just die so when you are driving it you have to put it in neutral and press the gas while stopped so it won't die. Just recently it started to get hot while sitting for a while. We have replaced the O2 censor , the spark plugs and wires and the fuel filter and still haven't fixed it. Please help. Everyone told us it has something to do with the fuel and its not getting enough somehow or that it's a different censor.

  1. Huh, thanks we might have to try that! I'm just glad we finally figured out what it was, we spent a lot on other parts already trying to figure it out!!
  2. We finally figured out what was wrong, the distributor is stripped, the rotor button is moving and not supposed to, thank goodness we finally figured it out. All we have I do is replace the distributor and it will work fine, till then we have to move the rotor button back into place and it will work fine till it moves again.
  3. How would we check that? It's not the timing belt is it? Because I know those can cost a pretty penny to put it if a car jumps time.
  4. Oh goodness! But it's getting to where its harder to crank and whatever is wrong with caused the starter to go out and we had to replace it. When we drive it we have to put it into nuetral when we stop so it won't die. Other wise it will just idle for a second and die. And just recently if we are sitting to long it tries to overheat but as long as its moving it won't. But it doesn't want accelerate and sometimes the rpms just bounce around and it bucks likes its running out of gas unless we are going 70 on the interstate then it smooths out. Anything below 65 it starts bucking again. We have replaced the fuel filter, o2 sensor, map sensor distibutor and roter button and spark plugs and wires and some other sensor that I can't name at the moment and the starter as well. We have checked the fuses also. Oh one more thing there is a rattling sound coming from under the hood as well while we are driving and my husband says he thinks it might be the valves loose but isn't sure cause he knows very little about cars lol. This whole thing has been a nightmare and its still going!
  5. We tried what you suggested but it still didnt work this thing is such a headache. I just don't know what to do and don't have the money to take it to a shop or trade it in. And autozone told us that it was to old for them to check and see what code it was tripping. I'm so lost.
  6. I know exactly what you mean, we have already replaced parts, but still nothing. It's a headache, especially since its our only vehicle!
  7. I'm having the same exact problem with my 95 pathfinder, if you figure out what it is can you please post on here!! Thanks
