Hi just bought a 1999 pathfinder. The engine seemed to run a bit hot compared to my other cars. It never registered on gages that it was hot, just seemed compartment was a bit hot to touch. Wondered if that was normal, or maybe somehong wrong.

yep, the starter turns, sounds strong. I will google that, see if i get any results

Yeah it cranks like it is going to turn over, but ever actually catches. the spark plug wires actually look pretty new, but looks can be deceptive. We did check for spark after replacing cap and rotor, but still no spark. I am not shure if I am using spark light correctly. Should spark plug stay in the car? I have one that lights up, but the end doesnt sucurely attach to the wire, just sit on the medal inside the sp wire.

Thought that might grab some attention. My friend was driving my beloved 1996 jeep cherokee, and rolled it, and totaled it (but he is total fine thankfully ) just replaced it with a 1999 nissan pathy. I was teaching my friend, (same guy) how to drive a stick. He stalled it alot, and it was fine, but now it stalled in driveway, and will crank all day, no start. battery is fine, starter sounds fine, can hear fuel pump working. Doesn't seem to be getting spark to plug. replaced cap and rotor, nothing. Not sure where to go from here. I really hope it is not a blown head gasket! Just bought car, so not familiar. But the oil doesn't seem milky, and no bubbles in radiator when turning over. also no over heating on gages, but it does seem a bit hot, not shure if that is normal.

So.. I was teaching a friend how to drive a stick. He stalled a bunch, everything ok. Stalled in drive way, now car just cranks and cranks but no fire! I can hear the fuel pump working. No spark from plug with tester. Replaced distributor cap and rotor to no advail! Wondering what it could be, just bought car from used dealership. Worried i ended up with a dud, has a 197000 miles in it. Looks like it had a valve cover leak, but doesnt appear to be leaking now. This car was a replacement for a 1996 jeep cherokee, my friend rolled actually! He is fine, but good bye jeepie, hello nissan.
