  1. Yeah now I have p0440 p0450 and p0446.

     

    All EVAP. I think it is just one part doing this. Will just go to a junkyard and do a part swap. Not critical to my emission, fuel mileage, or performance,

     

    These are the classic early R50 3.3L evap cannister issues.

    The charcoal in the evap cannisters after about 10 years decayed and destroyed the cannister valves.

    I would recommend replacing both the cannister and the valve with the newer versions Nissan now provides. A vehicle in the salvage yard will most likely already have the same problem or create the same problem.

  2. that is indeed a relay P/N. The full number or last 5 of that number should be printed on the side of the relay itself if you pull it out. There are only a few different types of relays Nissan used back then. They are used all over the vehicles for different purposes based on power required. This particular one was used on Maxima, Pathfinder, Hardbody, Sentra during the 90's for different purposes.

     

    I do show this is the key reminder relay for a WD21 and is still available from Nissan.

     

     

    P/N 25230-79910

    DESCRIPTION: RELAY 12V

    $17.79 (NISSAN LIST: $23.72)

  3. I've been having AC problems too. Refilled it twice. Blows cold for a day and then it's back to lukewarm air. Suspecting a leak but nothing is visible. Unless this stuff evaporates...?!

     

    Sounds like a small leak.

    You can take it to a shop and have them but a dye in the system that will show where the leak(s) are at.

  4. I know that area of Dallas and do my best to avoid it whenever possible.

    It is beyond awful and scary. Hell of a place for that to happen but good that you were able to do a quick repair on it!

  5. This does sound like a bad/incorrect thermostat issue to me. It has the classic symptoms.

    It is not unheard of to put a new thermostat in and it be bad. I have seen this many many times on all sorts of brands.

  6. Saturday, since it was 106 outside witht he heat and Ihave a black truck and this is Texas and summer finally showed up....

    My AC was feeling cool, but not cold, but it is hard to tell with a black truck in summer! I decided that since I havent checked my AC freon in 3 years I shoudl start there.

     

    It should be at 1.76 pounds and was showing 1.45....ahhh that would make a difference.....

    However I was concerned that High side was showing a nominal reading but Low side was super high/way off before I did a vacuum draw...like there was some obstruction. I refilled and checked the readings and they showed fine, did again Sunday and they showed fine, so maybe it was just me being a bad boy and not keeping up on my AC maintence. :stickwack:

     

    On the plus side I have cold air not cool now!

  7. Very happy to report finally have A/C back on the

    Pathy. Replaced the A/C dryer and vaccumed and recharged the system.

     

    Currently blowing cold from 46-51 degrees I am extatic.

     

     

    Now next up is Tint so I can help the A/C stay even colder.

     

    IMHO

    A reflective sunshade does wonders for the temp inside when you first get in and your AC system doesnt have to work as hard. It also helps the dashboard last longer.

  8. That tube was used on the WD21 with V6 engine from production dates 08/89-06/94 both Fed and Cali emissions.

    After 06/94 the part numbers changed and split to seperate Fed and Cali versions

     

     

    It was also used on the D21 with V6 from production dates 08/89-06/94 both Fed and Cali emissions and the D21U from 06/94-12/94 Federal emission.

  9. Yesterday we had this beauty in the shop! I was SOOOOO jealous. :bounce::bounce:

    I kid not, it is owned by an older man who is the original owner. He brought it in for its 60,000 recommended maintenance. That is right! it was 64,000 miles on the odometer and is beyond SUPER clean! I looked all over it, there is not one single dent or scratch on it and even the undercarriage is obscenely clean. Only thing I saw it needed was the headliner was starting to sag some.

    It is a 1996 Hardbody XE with 4 cyl, MT, 4WD. Ran very smooth and quiet after it got its tune up. It was very refreshing and inspiring to see!
