  1. ok i turned the Alarm Switch to Off Turned the Key as to Start and it Started Drove around and went to get a 450 Million $ Lotto Ticket left it running drove home Turned it off Turned the Key to Start it - It started right up - turned it Off - Turned the Key to Start it - It started right up - Turned the Key to Start it - It started right up interesting Alarm is in OFF position I'll try it again tomorrow another thing that happens sometimes Power Locks All 4 doors unlocked Close the Drivers doors and all 4 doors lock - that should not happen lmao Ive left it running and get out and close the drivers door and it locks all 4 doors with the engine running - i dont trust it - so if Im going to close the drivers door with it running - I roll the drivers window down so i reach in and hit the unlock to unlock electrical problems - pain in the ars another one the Rear hatch ceiling light - it just stopped turning on years years ago - I traced wires and finally gave up
  2. Where is the "starter interrupt relay" or is the same thing as the " Starter Relay on the passenger fender " Another thing the 3 relays in the fuse box the far top right - I sometimes take it out - put it back in - and it starts does anyone know what those 3 relays in the fuse box - do
  3. Wow Ive always wondered if the Alarm System was an issue I turned off the Alarm on the Console switch and it doesnt turn off Ive always thought Im not getting enough voltage to the Starter Relay What it interesting is As an example today It would not start Clicked Clicked I put my battery charger on it to see if I could get a Voltage boost to the Starter - didnt work this time - sometimes that works My driveway has a slight slope so Pushed it in reverse pop the clutch and it starts drove to the store left the store - would not start - another slight slope - pop the clutch & starts drove home parked in garage - turn off then tested turned the key and started right up - no problem my next days I can look into this are Tues / Wed

  5. I'll try and be as detailed as possible 1994 4x4 5-Speed Posi SE / Sunroof this Problem has been happening for Numerous Years - and now getting worse. I turn the Key to start - nothing happens this doenst happen every time I turn the key all the way several times and it starts You hear a clicking at the Starter Relay under the hood and at the relays at the fuse box Sometimes I just leave the key turned all the way - leave it there for abt a minute - then Crank the Key and its starts Replaced the Starter a few times over the numerous years Replaced the Wiring Harness from the Battery to Starter Replaced the Starter Relay too many times Replaced the Ignition Switch a few times Replaced the Ignition Key Cylinder Unit Current Battery is Brand New One thing I have been doing for awhile is I take out the top far right relay at the fuse box put it back in - it starts but that doesnt always work Sometimes I take out all 3 top relays at the fuse box and put them back in and it starts but that doesnt always work Sometimes I have to put my battery charger on the Battery and wait abt 2 mins and then it will crank and turn on To me - it seems that there is not enough " electrical power " getting through the passage to complete the starting phase Sometimes i loose patience and just have to push start it Numerous years ago I talked to a mechanic from California that told me you have to replace the complete wiring harness from the Steering Column to the Battery He said he had seen that problem with year model Pathfinder Recently a mechanic I know - told me the PIN in the Column isnt making a good connection and you need to replace the Complete Steering Column He was going to do a bypass but I think he just thinks its to involved of a problem... I dont know anything abt a PIN in the Column Does anyone know how to bypass relays and do you really need relays What abt doing a Push Button Start option .. I'm lost with this Starting Problem Plus I just recently put in a NEW Engine w/ New Clutch unit i have abt 1,200 miles on the New Engine as of today I rebuilt the 5 speed a few years ago - 1st gear synco broke / New Flywheel I recently rebuilt the complete front suspension ( for the 3rd time ) New Rotors New Rear Springs, New Rear Control Arm Bushings ( 8 ) - pressed them out / installed new You put the frame on jack stands - Put a floor jack under the rearend unit to hold the rearend from dropping to the ground Unbolt the 4 control arms / lower the rearend some and then take off the 4 control arms - take them to a machine shop to press out the bushings and press in new bushings I'm lost with this Starting Problem Thanks Robert 300,000 miles on Orginal Engine Rebuild Sept 2022
  6. Hello All I am extremely Puzzled ... I have a 1994 v6 VG30 5-speed - manual 262,000 miles my 1994 is extremely well taken care of I do all my repairs / upkeep here's the issue. Nov 2017 Idles perfect 800-900 rpm One day in Nov 2017 - It started misfiring at 2500-3000 RPM - estimated I was told it was the ICM - Ignition Control Mod - was bad So I bought a ICM - installed it - it didnt seem to fix it - right away - so just fooling around - I took off the Coil Wire and reinstalled .. and drove it and wow no more misfiring Drives like New again Note: Recent – New: Plugs/wires, cap / rotor Now we are in May 2018 About Mid-May -- it started doing the same thing - misfiring / backfire running real rough 2500-3000 rpm - no power So I thought ICM going bad - changed out - installed new ICM - DID NOT HELP Was told that a Coil that is going bad / getting hot will create misfire Changed the Coil – New Coil did not fix it So I changed the Cap/Rotor and Plugs and Plug Wires No Help - did not fix it Was now told that the Reluctor in the Distributor is the Problem and need to install New Distributor Repeat Problem for you Start up – runs prefect for 10 minutes – then engine is at normal operating temperture – then it starts to misfire / backfire at 2000+ Rpm Let it cold down – starts runs prefect for 10 mins then repeats problem Will a Bad Reluctor create this problem ?
