    Drive-by-wire + AT + 4L = sucks

    My wife’s GX470 is DBW and literally just this morning I noticed that the throttle response does not have high enough input resolution. I’d never notice it under normal driving conditions but in sopping wet grass I could not give it just enough throttle to move forward just before the tires would break loose. It was either no discernible forward movement or too much.

     

    I think it would be even more noticeable if the engine was more powerful or the gearing was even lower. However extremely low traction and rock crawling are very different.

    sont get LED youll have a better time with sylvania ultras 

    I can vouch for the ultras. You might also have a look see at the high output “off-road only” bulbs. If you have your headlight housings aimed correctly then no one will know you have “illegal” bulbs. Besides some of these new vehicles (2019 Silverado!!!) have headlights that are at least triple the lux that our old halogens produce. That and they’re only $3-5 each..

    Where I am, I dont have to worry about snow buildup on my lights and such. I was also thinking of putting strong fog lights and installing a switch for extra light.

    I put 100W halogens in my fogs and theyre actually useful now. If you put the 100W or 130W bulbs in there then make sure you aim them correctly. I had to cut off a tab that was on the bulb's metal base.

    What broke on your Pathfinder today?

    in The Garage

    I got lucky pressing the tabs in with a flat head screw driver. I was not so lucky at the junk yard.. I lost my mind trying to remove the blasted thing and busted my knuckles pretty bad while I was freaking out.

    There’s blood all over that pathfinder lol people are going to think something bad happened in it!

    Mine was leaking a little all the time and began to really leak badly when you first started pressing the brake pedal and down to about half way. It made the engine start misfiring when it would leak badly and then the brakes would be extremely stiff to the point where I couldn’t stop quickly if I needed to.

    Transmission Problem - Module?

    My best friends dad is a master transmission guy and when my trans died (the first time ) mine did that same thing, driving forward in park, and he said that the forward clutch had seized (or he may have said a different word— trashed, or broken..) and that it was toast.

    I found a junk yard trans for $6-700 that was literally perfect. And after I handed it’s butt to it I found another one for around the same price that’s pretty darn good also.

    Hmmm.. with no code I think its leaning toward a fuel issue. I honestly dont know how to troubleshoot a fuel issue. Without googling it I'd say figure out a way to see if the fuel pump is actually sending fuel up front or not. May take the supply line off the fuel rail on the passenger side and hold a rag against it while someone turns the key to the on position. Or maybe you can rent some kind of fuel system test kit from Autozone.
