NOX failure - Colorado Emissions
mechanicalbaron replied to jonrdory's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Interesting, did they give you a printout of the readings? Can you take a pic of it to look at all the numbers? I'm assuming you have similar emissions testing like here in California. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

There should be a small metal pipe that connects to the hose on the bottom of the egr back pressure transducer. Did you remove it and clean the orifice and blow through it? Pretty common for those to be plugged and that hose to be rotted. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

I've had similar thoughts. Always get hung up with the parking brake. Would love to see a thread on this. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

What are thinking? Had similar thoughts about a center console using an ammo can. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -
1. The manufacturer has your vehicle towing capacity. Find out what it is. 2. Boat trailers have surge brakes. Electric brakes and water don't mix. 3. Regardless, if you want a 7 pin trailer harness, put one in. You can get an adapter to operate a 4 pinion harness. 4. If you decide to go with a 7 pin harness you will need a brake controller. I like prodigy. 5. Last but not least, utilize all of your resources to determine what will work for you. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Put a new starter in her, the original one finally gave up. Only had about 186k mi. and 26 years on it. Think I'm gonna call Nissan consumer affairs and complain. Maybe I can get reimbursed. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

New ignition switch and front door lock cylinders with new outer door handles. EBAY parts but all worked very well. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -
Just last week saw the same issue on a Versa, the main difference being that with an electronic throttle body it was going into a brake over-ride causing a hesitation. Caught it when I was driving it and noticed that the running lights came on when applying the brakes. Doesn't happen often. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Washed the mud off it, vacuumed her out, lubed the hood latch, removed the turn/headlamp switch and cleaned the contacts, and replaced both headlamp bulbs. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

I've been wondering if anyone has successfully swapped a MAF, the stock ones on the 3.0 are tiny compared to the ones on the 3.3 engines. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

At that point I would dive into the service manual (you can download it) and cover the basics. Check power and ground at a coil (if one has it they all should ). If that's OK the service manual likely will tell you to check continuity on the signal wire between the ecm and each coil. Which likely is fine. While your at the ecm check power and ground. But if you can use a scanner and read data they are likely ok. Check for start/crank signal while cranking it if your scanner has that capability. If you have a add on alarm system remove it. Just my 2 cents, that's what I would do if I had it in my shop. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Like 5523 said, possible NATS/ key issue, there is a little led light for the alarm that will be on solid. Will set coded p1615 or p1610. If that's not it I would pull out a spark plug and check it for being fuel soaked. If it's soaked and has spark it's flooded. You'll have to remove all the coils and plugs and let the cylinders dry out. (FYI if it is fuel soaked /flooded don't crank it with the coils plugged in or you're going to have a bad day) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Wrong thread on moog outer tie rod
mechanicalbaron replied to maddmark1981's topic in General Forums
Not sure the year you have but the 86 to 95 have different threads left to right. Outer tie rod ends have a left and right hand thread. The inner are the same. As an example (don't quote me on the exact placement of the tie rods) the left inner and right outer would be the same. And the right inner and left outer would be the same (noting this as an example only!). I ran into this issue with autozone when installing a grassroots centerlink and having to swap my inner tie rods to a large taper style. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
