I appreciate it very much, I'll be so happy when these sensors are on. I can't transfer a title or get plates without my emissions passed. Thanks!

It was in the owner's manual, i'll have to see if I can find a fsm.

I have a 97 Pathfinder that I'm trying to get ready for emissions. I have done quite a bit of work on it. I have put about 190 miles on it and ran it through the manufacturer's drive cycle multiple times. This vehicle isn't my daily driver, but I'm having trouble getting the EVAP, Cat, and EGR sensors to be ready. Do you know if these drive cycles can be completed multiple times in a day to activate these sensors or do I have to do it on different days.

Hey guys I have a coolant leak on my pathfinder below the throttle body and I was wondering if I can repair this without replacing the intake manifold or if this piece can be removed separately, somebody has tried to repair this before. The boneyard wants like $140 bucks for an upper intake manifold. I have attached a few pics, let me know. Thanks! https://photos.app.goo.gl/9vM84mvCzDxDGgpS2

Well I finally got the truck running. So the distributor, cap, and rotor were replaced recently. I was kind of have been ruling them out. I took the cap off today and looked into it anyway. I found that the rotor almost looked discolored and the cap button was a little burned. I turned the engine over with the cap off and noticed spark there, so I ruled the distributor out. I decided to go buy a cap and rotor. When I got home, I start by taking the rotor off and the previous shop that worked on it didn't put a set screw in the rotor. I put the new rotor on with some locktite for the set screw and replaced the cap. The truck started immediately, I have definitely learned my lesson to do some more trouble shooting instead of throwing parts at it. Thanks for all of your help, I appreciate it!

Been still working on getting this thing started, I checked for spark again and I'm definitely getting an orange spark to the plugs. I looked at recent receipts on the vehicle and the entire distributor and wires have been done recently under 1k miles. Is there a possibility that this distributor is defective? Is there any deeper diagnostics I can do to rule out the distributor? I also took the distributor cap off and checked inside, everything looks brand new, I don't see any dust inside. From what I've read in the service manual the coil is built in to the distributor assembly. I also put a scanner on it again and don't have any codes in the system. Will a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor cause a weak spark no start on these vehicles? Thanks for the help!

It cranks over but doesn't seem to sputter or anything indicating that it is going to possibly start, it just keeps cranking. I have no CEL's on the dash, but I will hook up a scanner to it to see if there is any in the computer. As far as the spark, I believe it was orange. I used the spark tester that goes in between the spark plug and plug wire. I was tempted to try and do a compression test on it, but the way the plugs are configured on the vehicle being different depths and on the back side of the engine I'm not sure how I would do that. It was hard enough to do a tune up on it, i'm not sure how I would get a compression tester threaded in. Everything is sealed up on the timing belt assembly, I wouldn't think anything would have fallen in, but you never know I guess.

I was wondering if somebody can give me some direction in finding out why my 97 pathfinder won't start. I've had this vehicle a little under a year, it was running decent when I purchased it. It has had a timing belt done about a year or so ago, the vehicle has over 200,000 miles. I was driving it home one day and as I was pulling in my driveway the engine died and I came to a coasting stop in my driveway where it has sat for a few months. The engine turns over, but will not start. I have changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, and spark plugs. I can smell fuel in the engine when cranking, I have verified that there is spark on all cylinders. The distributor cap and rotor are also fairly new. I have also tried starting it by spraying starting fluid in the air intake and have not had any luck as well. I'm not sure where else to go from here, if you can give me any ideas of some more troubleshooting that would be great.

Is this what your looking for? I ordered one a few weeks ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Cleaner-Intake-Hose-For-1996-2003-Nissan-Pathfinder-1997-2000-Infiniti-QX4-/401047368550?hash=item5d60493366:g:WVkAAOSwCQNWgO0x&vxp=mtr
