It sounds electrical, I don't know, I will test it when I'm home tonight. Thanks

Yesterday i was busy in the garden and out of nowhere I hear a strange rattling sound coming from the gas tank of my pathy. I noticed it before sometimes after a drive when i turn off the car, this rattling sounds comes on 4 a few seconds. I was thinking maybe the fuel pomp keeps running a few seconds. But now i had not driven her for 2 days and this sound comes up. Any body had this before ?? Das it mean the fuel pump is going and I have to replace it ? My car is standing under a carport but in the afternoon the back of the car (gas tank site) is catching some sun, out here its always around 35degrees (Celsius) sometimes hotter. Maybe its getting hot ?? I don't know just guessing.

I had myself a new TPS because the one on my Pathy was not performing as written in the ‘trouble diagnosis’ in the Nissan manual. It was only giving a continuity between terminals 2 and 3 at the Closed throttle position and noting on the terminals 1 and 3 at wide open position. But now the new TPS is doing the same thing, only gives a continuity at the closed position and also nothing on the wide open. I checked the TPS on an other R50 Pathfinder, they had one at the dealer, also this TPS was doing the same but the car was running good. Now I start to wonder, is the manual wrong this time or I just had bad luck and checked and bought a broken TPS. I cant imagine that the manual is wrong, the TPS is there to give the right info at a closed or wide open throttle position and mine are not giving any info from the wide open position. Any body ever checked this on his TPS ? Maybe somebody can help me out here. (The dealer here don’t have a clue).

My corner in the house is on the back porch, important its close to the Barbecue. ( Upload failed. Please ask the administrator to check the settings and permissions ) Administrator please help I have no preference in brand of tools, as long they get the job done its fine by me. I use a plastic tool box, why ? I found it one day at work lying around empty in our mechanic room and was thinking, I can use that at home. I have no tools in the pathy, just the standard tools that come with the truck.

Just swapped my tranny for a rebuilt one last week and my (Nissan) manual told me to make sure to remove the crankshaft positioner sensor before dropping the tranny. I have a '96 pathy I don't know if your model have a crankshaft positioner sensor. At my pathy its located on top of the case where the tranny is connected with the engine (little difficult to reach).

I like the straight intake pipe setup, i am looking 4 a straight pipe 2. Is it really necessary we put those 2 hoses onto that pipe or can i put those small (breather) air filters on to it ? Its easier to find a straight pipe without those openings. At the moment I've cut open the closed space in the bumper under the signal light, took away the standard air intake box and replaced it with a self made 'cold airflow pipe' coming from the front of the bumper and going direct in to the opening of the stock airbox. With a K&N filter.

Will it happen a lot, air bubbles coming in to the cooler ? And how long will it take b4 the cooler gets full of air ? Than i better rotate mine.

Anybody put a Throttle Body Spacer on yet ? I'm wondering if they really work. Somebody have some experience ?

Cleaned the lines yesterday with carburetor cleaner i used the whole can. I soaked it all out till only the radiator cleaner liquid came out clean of the lines. After that i used my dive thank to put some high pressure true the lines to clean and dry them out. Worked great.

u could do a compression check on each cylinder, low compression would reveal a bad head gasket. I get the air out by filing up the radiator, don't close the radiator, start the engine and let it get hot so the thermostat open up and air will come out, fill it up when nesesarry. Keep the engine running and don't close the radiator maybe some coolant will come out and some air bubbles. After the second opening from the thermostat my air was gone and closed it and all was good.

A lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust sounds to me your engine is burning gasoline mixed with coolant. That could be coming from a leaking head gasket. (worse case a crack in the engine block or head) That way the coolant can leak in to one of the cylinders and burn it and that's giving a lot of white smoke. Check if u radiator stays on level and check of there is coolant in your engine oil. But u telling the smoke was gone after checking it later, is it still gone ? If its not coming back and u car is still running ok and everything looks good than i don't know what it was.

Wao, I wish I lived in the states so I can tint all of you guys windows and make some extra money. That's a lot of money for getting your windows tinted. I dit it myself and cost me about $50 to do all 9 windows. I didn't do the front window because its a very dark tint I put on, that will give some problems driving at night. The back window I do in 2 pieces to keep the corners from bubbling or opening up. Its not really necessary to take out the windows, take out the rubbers. (taking out the windows will make the job easier do) The trick is use a lot of water with lots of soap in it, that soap where u wash the dishes with, that way u can move the foil any place u want. U even can take it of again to remove that hair or dirt. Use a special rubber tool or a credit card to get the bubbles out, again with lost of water. After that it will dry up nice and smooth. When its dry cut of the foil that's sticking out on the sites with a sharp 'stainless steel' blade to finish it up. I know myself it has to look like its factory tinted. U just have to do it and give it a tray before spending so much money. Maybe u go wrong the first window but u learn from that. I know its not easy but its also not that difficult. Lots of water with soap and Patience. Good luck

I don't know if anything changed between the '96 model and the model u have but i can tell u about the 96 model. I think its the same. Once i removed the 2 screws and didn't find more screws I grab and pull the top of the dash panel near the air conditioner vents. (u right about the vents they are coming out) Once the top is unsnapped, continue until the bottom of the dash below the radio is unsnapped. Unplug the connectors attached to the rear of the cigarette lighter and hazard switch. I build in a DVD player and painted the dash panel.

Thanks, The old transmission is already of the car and I'm waiting 4 the rebuilt transmission to come. The oil lines r hanging in my garage waiting to be cleaned. The cooler is going to be replaced (new) so its only the lines who need to be cleaned. This is going to work, thanks guys.
