    Trouble with trouble code

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Hey I cleaned the very dirty throttle body of my 04 R50 after which I got this trouble code "P0507 Idle Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected" now if I'm not mistaken I should just need to reset the ECM but I can't seem to do it with my scan tool and disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time did work either. Any ideas?

    Tire size

    I have 265/70R17s mounted on 17x9 wheels with a 4.25 back space on mine but I had originally put them on at stock ride high and I did have to trim a little in the front to fit them. Since then I've lifted it with a 2 inch suspension lift and to be honest, I didn't really gain any extra turning clearance, meaning I would have probably still had to trim. This is most likely because of the heavy back space on my wheels

    Needs some help diagnosing a code

    Diving home from work in my 2004 pathfinder, on the day of the first big snowfall of the year and my "service engine soon" light comes on. Code is;

    P0420 NISSAN - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1

     

    Now some quick research online saying it can be anything from a faulty spark plug, to a leaking fuel injector, to an exhaust leak. So any idea of where to start would be a great help!

    Thanks alot!

    Stretched wheel base

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I've been playing with the idea for a few weeks of moving the rear axle back an inch or 2 and the front forward the same, gaint better approach and departure angles as well as being able to fit larger tires. The rear would be straight forward enough but I can't think of how to do the front other than a solid axle swap. Has anyone seen or done a solid axle swap on a R50? Or somehow managed to stretch a IFS?

    I have 265/70r16's drive extremely conservatively have Warns and get a whopping 14.7 mpg with premium, regular service and no CEL.

     

    My truck has a 20gallon tank and I'm thrilled to death to get 250miles. My hats off to you if you get 1000km and don't have to stop 3times to fill up.

    I've got mine on 265/70r17's, I can get over 500km (312miles) on a tank, I'm rebuilding a 3.5 for it and a 6 speed to back it, also in the process of having a new 120L fuel tank designed that'll mount under the cargo deck (where the spare tire use to be)

    Rear Tire Wear

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    My drivers side rear tire is wearing oddly. The outside inch or so has almost no wear at all, and the rest of the tire working inward is severely worn. I have looked at the inside of the hub and there doesn't seem to be anything missing in the way of axle bolts. There isn't any kind of a wobble in it, but when I stop and then start to go from a stop there is a click back there on that side. I can't tell if the tire is leaning at all, but it appears to be straight. I have two thoughts in this since thee isn't a wobble or vibration in the rear end. First there is an alignment issue some where, but since this is a solid axle the only place an alignment issue should be present is in the front end. Second I have a bent axle shaft or bad bearings. But since there isn't any kind of vibration or wobble back there, I'm not sure if this is the case. Any pointers you guys might have on figuring this out would be helpful, I will have some time in the next few weeks to work on the car. So I'll be keeping an eye on any responses.

     

    Thanks for the help.

    2004 R50 4x4 front hub disconnect?

    Well, they are CV joints, not Ujoints. By design they do not and can not introduce vibrations at different angles.

    However, the removal test is still valid in helping to identify the source of vibration.

     

    I would ask the OP what else changed when he lifted it? New tires and/or wheels by any chance? Or did you have a rotate and balance done at the same time?

     

    And further up, someone suggested caster could be off? However, the Caster doesn't change. It's engineered in and not adjustable. So caster won't be the steering issue.

    I would jump right under there and check out those rack bushings. If the bushings are great, the rack itself might be worn out.

    I did not change anything other than springs, struts and shocks. However it was the first time I shift into 4hi at high speed in probably 6000km and my rear tires have about a 1/8th of an inch less than the fronts.

    Haha ya I noticed it posted multiple times! Oops! I've been looking around my pathy is a 5 speed manual with the Tx10 TC, I guess the auto TCs have some serious issues with manual hubs but it looks like I'm good to go!

     

    Also unrelated I recently lifted my pathy about 2 inches and ever since have experienced increased vibrations in 4wd, anyone have any thoughts on the matter? The angle on the CVs is not excessive and with the stock fixed hub any vibration from the axles would be present in 2wd too, right? Maybe T case front output shaft bearing?

    I just took my hud assembly apart to replace a broken wheel lug (giant pain in the ass). I noticed the hubs are fixed, so even in 2wd it's still spinning the front axles and the drive shaft. Now I'm building my rig as an overlander, as part of this I want to achieve a 1000km range. So my question is, has anyone installed locking/unlocking hubs and did you find a gain in fuel economy?

    Also, any info you have about options for hubs would be greatly appreciated

     

    Thanks!
