And the fact that the Subaru uses Nissan key blanks influenced you too right?
mmmmm. I can neither confirm or deny that Senator.

NGK BKR6EY is indeed the correct plug to use for the VG30e.
the stock plug is not a v-groove, that much is for sure.

This sounds like some sort of main harness issue. Check all the wires going out of the firewall to the relay box for any damage and the box itself for corrosion.

this was part of my 'logic' for buying my STI.

Nailed it
Ordinal Evo's are starting to fetch a pretty penny. So it makes sense that it's competition would as well, makes me want to get my hands on a 2.5RS, and restore it.

agreed!!

It amazes me how those little suckers can manage to get inside a parked car. I had evidence of one in the trunk of my wife's Honda last year. Thankfully, there was minimal damage.
They are very busy creatures. If it is true, many people who parked their cars at night, and had issues the following morning. It seems garages are a magnet for the critters as well.

I know how you guys love rat pictures!!!!
Here are two from last week, one on Monday and the other on Thursday.
2013 Pathfinder. The owners kids left all sorts of half eaten food and crumbs under the seats for the rats to enjoy. While they were there they chewed on the leatehr seats and the harnesses for the seats as well.
Rats pissed all in the back of this 2003 Maxima. It smelled VERY ripe in the 100+ degree summer heat. It made the poor techncian sick when he opened the door to get in it and move it. In the truck they made a little nest on top of the spare tire out of stuffing from the rear sound dampning material.

Hey guys,
I have a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder that we have loved. Have put 170k on it and it for the most part has been a dream vehicle. Only having to do regular maintenance, a few sensors, and of course the suspension wobble problem many of these have. NOW I have a big problem. It will drive perfectly and then at random times will not re-start. Or it will shut down while driving and not re-start for at least 12 hours. The SES code reads Camshaft Positioning Sensor which is located in the bottom of the Distributer. I purchased one from the local auto parts store (because of lifetime warranty) and it worked for a while, then stopped again. I have now under warranty put 5 of these in. They will work for a little while, then the same junk will start up. I am beginning to think it is the computer. Anyone else have any issues with this? Thanks,
This does fit the symptoms of a bad distributor.
The aftermarket replacement camshaft sensors for the inside of the distributors do not last. I have seen this and said it over and over. You are not the first person to experience this. I have had many local customers experience the same thing.

OK.
I'll give you a call today or Monday.
I refuse to have any contact with local dealer since their mechanics tried to kill me by telling me a bad vibration I was getting from my '95 was due to cupped tires when it was really a cracked control arm.
WOW. Ok I understand, just give me a call monday and I will get you fixed up!

PART NUMBER: 49725-60G10
DESCRIPTION: HOSE-RETURN, PS
$15.45 (NISSAN LIST:$ 20.60)
This is the return hose on the passenger side going from the steering tube to the bottom of the reservoir. It will take me 3-5 days to get it from the master warehouse. I can ship it USPS flat rate for $5.25. On something small like this with shipping it is the same as your local dealer should be at. I can order it for you if you like though!

Well, I am here on a glorious Saturday, and FULL MOON is definately showing. Silly things and crazy people.

02 sensor was not ready. Evap was not ready. I am taking it for a good drive and then will bring it back.
The mechanic noticed the MAF sensor. Brought it to me caked in gunk. I was surprised. He cleaned it free if charge. Guess I did not clean it as well. I was scared to touch it.
After driving it for a bit... It feels a lot better. I did the iron foot test and it did not do that surge. More to drive. Coffee break and heading back. Cheers.
I could defiantely see the gunked MAF would cause it to run lean for sure as it is not sending proper readings to the ECU about how much air is coming into the engine. You will probably notice an improvement in throttle response, power and some MPG.
The O2 sensor not ready I find interesting though. Did it pass emissions barely or at the higher end of acceptable? OR did he test the emissions with the engine 'cold' or after resetting the ECU recently?
-
Oh wow, that's no good and depressing at the same time. PM sent w my vin number.
Why would they not put a filter media between the solenoid and the charcoal canister? Doesn't seem like it would take very much unless it would restrict the flow more than necessary?
I hear that, it is but just one of those 3.3L R50 things.
Yes it would, I base this on that I know certain model subarus had a filter on the canister that you remove because it clogs up! They even had a TSB about removing and deleting it.

He already found the problem with my evap system. The vent solenoid is not working properly so I'm going to try to clean it and see if yhT clears the code after a drive cycle or two. If not, I will replace it. $53 compared to $173.
More than likely cleaning it will not do anything as the part is damaged from the small pieces of charcoal from the cannister blowing though it.
When the charocal in the cannister starts to break down it blows through the solenoid and damages the inside of the solenoid.
If this problem goes on for a long time, there is no charcoal left in the cannister, thus making it not function. We have cracked a few open before that felt very light and they were empty.
Replacing the cannister by itself doesnt fix the valve issue and replacing the valve will either cause it to get damaged again as the cannister continues to break down.
So what usually happens is:
Bad cannister + damaged solenoid -> Check Engine Light.
Bad Cannister + Good Solenoid -> Check Engine Light
Damaged solenoid + Good Cannister -> Check Engine lLght
I have even seen a few that had to have the evap lines blown out with compressed air because the charcoal had clogged up the evap line.
-
Damn, that's definitely not something I want to hear. do you have the part numbers for those new ones?
What caused the evap to fail like that other than age? Just out of curiousity because this is the first I've heard about it.
There are a few variations for those parts. If PM me your VIN and I can get you the prices for your vehicle.
-
Yes it could defiantely be an old belt making noise at start up. If it is the original belt you are due!
I would check the idler pully as well for any noise and wobble.

Thanks, for the reply. Where did you find that price for that relay. I will also give you an update on what I have done since my last post. I went to my local Nissan Dealer. Parts guy found it only when I gave him the part #. He said he did not have one (well I knew that), but he could not show me a picture of the relay either. Next, I went to the local salvage yard (which is a pretty big one in this area). The guy took me to four Nissan Pathfinders ranging in date from 93-95. Not a one had a place for a relay like mine. I have the relay right here and unless they changed the part # the numbers on this one says 422N. But that is the only relay I found in that area of the wiring diagram. I don't know if since mine is a LE that it might have something else to do with the key reminder like anti-theft or something. B/C none of the Pathfinders I looked at yesterday were LE and none of them had a place for that relay.
Now what do I do?
I work at a Nissan dealer. I have the parts cataloge right here in front of me.
XE Pathfinders and Hardbody trucks will not have the chime. SE/LE Pathfinders from 94-95 and SE Hardbody trucks from 93-97 will have it.

This could be a few things:
- A circuit it open somewhere draining the battery.
- The battery isnt charging because it has a bad cell(s).
- The battery isnt getting a full charge from the alternator because of a bad alternator and/or corroded/loose wiring.
some things to check:
First off, are there ANY warning lamps on the instrument cluster that are on such as BATT or BRAKE?
Check the terminals to the battery are corrosion free and tight.
Check the fusible links to make sure they are not corroded.
Check all the interior lamps and make sure they are off.
Check the five door pin switches, make sure they turn the lamps off and on with you press them.
Check that any exterior lamps such as brake lamps or side markers are still on when the vehicle is off.
If there is an aftermarket radio amp, that it is it powering off.

Don't chase it! Stick to rivers and lakes!
X2 clear the drain, watch what didn't splash out drain out, put the swimmies away and enjoy!
X3 on the drain is clogged.
