Replaced the strut rod bushings and driver's side door hinge pins and bushings. Replacing the strut rod bushings was pretty easy, the door hinge pins and bushings on the other hand were a PITA! I was successful at both though. Last weekend I also tackled the passenger side exhaust manifold broken studs. Big job, but it went pretty smooth, and no more tick, tick, tick!

Tackled the passenger side exhaust manifold bolts that were busted off, and it was a success! No more tick, tick, tick.

Thanks. I did find the timing off a couple of degrees too, so that may be where my fuel economy has gone, along with the crappy winter gas we have to use. As for the exhaust, I already did the driver's side, and that wasn't much fun. There is even less room on the passenger side, so it should be fun!

I have the same code 51, on my 94 pathfinder. I have gone through the procedure for testing the injector circuit, and found about a 1.2v drop on the 2,4,6 side, and further inspection found that my #6 injector ohms out at 14.4, and all the others were about 12.8. Could that one injector be the cause of my voltage drop on that side? The other thing that I found funny is, that when doing the power bank testing (I think that's what it's called), the #6 cylinder did stumble just like all the others when I pulled the plug wire. The truck still runs smooth, but I have been getting crappy fuel economy lately. Crappier than normal. I also tested the MAF, TPS, IACV, and O2 sensors according to the procedures, and all of them test good. The truck got a tune up when I first bought it about a year ago, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel and air filters, and also a new radiator. I also am planning on tackling the passenger side exhaust manifold leak this weekend. Looks like a PITA.
