Hmm ....... maybe a plugged cat!
I have had them come in to the shop with a hard start , then fine for a while then no start /hard drive due to the inners coming apart and partially clogging the exhaust way.
But ..... this is just a (possibility) .
Still need the fuel pressure and spark/timing checked out before moving on.

So when I bought the pathy 2 weeks ago it had factory muffler and no pipe off it ( tail pipe) .
It had completely fallen off .
Installed a 2 1/4 Thrush Weld (2 chamber ) muffler and new tail pipe .
MUCH better !
Not noisy and droning .... just enough snort to hear it at 1/2 and up throttle .
Cheap and proper.

Carry on.

Thx , thats what I suspected . cheers

95 is obd1 so Im not sure a scanner is available - just the ecu system check under the front passenger seat.
-
Gotta pull the cluster on 95 path today .
Im sure I can figure it out without a diy but just thought I would ask .
Cheers

If ist not a metered item (sensor) then no.

Adam is just proud of his new found oil change abilities...
Yeah, the placement on the VG30 is pretty lame, mainly due to the slant. I found it impossible to to remove without oil leakage, because as soon as you break the seal, it starts to dribble. Of course, the answer is to put a rag over the starter and tuck it up under the oil filter, but it seems like they could have managed a vertical drop fairly easily.
How about changing an oil filter on a BMW K75? The screw-on oil filter is inside the oil pan, accessed by a small port, slightly larger than the oil filter itself. You better have the right tool, but even then if the PO over tightened it, it won't be coming off regardless. Then you get to drop the oil pan to remove the oil filter...
Putting the oil pan back on requires a manual and a torque wrench; there is no gasket, just two machined surfaces that have to be joined in the correct sequence and to the correct torque. Do it right, and no leaks.

Ouch - my shop specializes in BMW ( european/asian auto repair) and thankfully I have not ran into this .
-
Yeah, and it always leaked...
Everyone on here is just a bunch of whiners. Have you ever changed the oil on a ford focus, or a grand am? Those are 2 that are 10 times worse. I can change the oil on the pathfinder in less than 10 minutes and not spill a drop on the starter. Just be more careful and less like a gorilla.
Please .... enlighten me .

Subaru's .... ?
Really !
Thats like the easiest one on planet earth !
Your referring to like 05 and newer ones with the new style exhaust manifold that wraps around the oil filter huh ?
Still easy ..... I have a strap wrench that I wrap around it to break it loose and then finish by hand.
Ford Focus ........ don't think I have done one of those .

Well I find the location of the Honda Element , Accord , Civic ... basically the 16L - 2.4L Honda motors are crappy in location as well as they mae a mess all over everything .
But the location of the oil filter on the 3.0L Nissan motor and its proximity to the starter is just assignin !

Think Ill try and unplug the electrical from it and take alligator clips and hook it up in place with a extra car battery and see if it works.
If it does , bad resistor eh ?
-
Yup trolled all over the internet and here before I asked.
So just bought this 95 XE and when I bought it the blower motor doesnt work on any speed.
2 fan fuses are good and I have voltage to the blower .
Guessing its either the motor itself or the blower motor resistor ?
Sound about right ?
-
Bad sensor as stated some 4 posts back . LOL
-
just do a fuel pressure test and be done with that theory .
then move on ........

Ordered a new to me cluster from my account at LKQ today for $65.
If it works cool ......if not , Ill just send it back
Still not sure if this is connected to my HVAC fan not working nor that I have no lighting at my HVAC cluster

LOL .
Just wanted to rant about how I think the designers of this V6 motor picked the worst spot ever for a oil filter .
DIRECTLY over the top of the starter and damn close to its + terminal !
Now Jeeps are similar mind you but man.
And I service alot of vehicles !
lol
Rant over

Looks like you need a new sensor
-
Dont know if you have a Harbor freight there but you can buy a fuel pressure set there for $30 or less.
-
possible distributor issue .....
-
disconnect the sensor for the gauge then start the car. if the gauge stays at the bottom (doesnt peg out) then change that sensor . If it stays the same .... start tracking the wiring.
-
temp gauge pegged means the temp sensor wire is grounded out ...... i believe .

You need to perform a fuel pressure test and rule out the fuel pump.
-
Crank position sensor has its own code ... but crank position failure can make a no start issue since it sends the pulse to the ecu that the motor is turning and the fuel pump needs to send the motor some gas
No tach , No speedo , no heater fan , no coolant gauge !?

Ok ,l well today I got a loaner working instrument cluster from my connection at LKQ to test out.
Nope , still no speedo , tach , temp or anything working ( lights for check engine , etc ) across the bottom of the cluster .
I do have a very faint battery light on and the fuel gauge works .
tested the battery and its good , even fires right up no problem every time.
