I got lucky!! I cleaned and re tightened the battery terminals and cables and it fixed the issue. The negative wasn’t able to tighten enough so I used a trick I saw on scotty kilner’s youtube channel:take some bare wire over the top of the terminal (with enough running down either side) then hammer the cable on to that, to sandwich the wire for a tight fit. I remembered to check that because of my embarrassment when the shop told me it wouldn’t start because the battery wasn’t tight enough… It actually restored a lot of lost electrical current for the power windows and when I flip the fans on it doesn’t drops the RPMs like less than 50 instead of 200 lol.

I replaced my chinese MAF with a Hitachi hoping that will make it last longer, and it fired right up and sounded good! Now something else is messed up though I think the alternator has gone bad… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well to be fair I haven’t actually inspected the sensor I need to do that tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it looks fine. Its very new, I got it last fall. Just wondering if it got fouled up because of the stupid intake modifications the previous owner did. Part I’m confused about is why it gave out so much faster than the previous sensor that lasted 7-8k vs 1k miles. The thing that is the same is the overall time it was in use for (~6/7 months) but I feel like the actual driving hours is what matters. Something else I found, is that the car does have a rev limiter/limp mode for when the MAF is disconnected. Maxes out at like 2.5k rpms. And i could literally see carbon blowing out of the exhaust coating the asphalt beneath it, from what I’m guessing is the fuel running so rich it doesn’t burn all the way. I was reading up and the ECM will revert to running rich to protect the engine when the MAF is disconnected. I wish my parts would get here sooner so I can try to fix it!!

Here’s an update. I ordered the connector and MAF so they should be getting here soon. However I just went to check on the car and here’s what I found. I took out the connector, wiggled around the wires blew into it like a Nintendo cartridge, tapped on it (everything but actually clean it) plugged it back in and fired up the the rig. It turns on but runs like crap: sputtering, smelling strong unburned fuel, making like a womp-womp-womp-womp-womp noise, then after like 30 seconds the noise stops it revs up a little bit and dies. So I unplugged the MAF turned it on and it sounded decent like how it usually does. When I reved it it backfired a little bit but I’m pretty sure that is just because it wasn’t warm yet. Then I plugged the MAF back in and it immediately died… So yeah, going to try to first replace the connector but I think the MAF has to get done too. I wiggled it around a ton while it was plugged in and it didn’t change even a little bit. Thanks again for the advice. I recorded videos too, if anyone is curious about the noise of the engine, hit me up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok that totally makes sense! I’ll try and mess with the connector. Thanks for the good idea, I’ll lyk how it turns out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So when I first bought my rig (- ~9000 miles ago) It did not run good at all. It blew smoke and was ran poorly. I put in a new (old from a 98 frontier) throttle body and a mass air flow sensor. Then it ran good. Ran good for 7-8k miles. Was sitting for a month or so outside then it didn’t want to start and was runnin bad. Then kept dying every 30 seconds and losing power the next day. No acceleration or would fade in and out. Limped it to a shop. They cleaned the MAF, throttle body, put in new spark plugs. Ran okay for 40 miles rhen did the same @!*% again. Got it towed back and had to leave it in the shop for a month. He put in a new MAF and it was running good for another 1000 miles. Then I discovered that the previous owner had blocked off the air intake with a metal plate, removed the whole air intake box thing that goes next to the wheel well, and drilled holes in the air filter housing to let air in. So I replaced it all with a setup from a pathfinder at the pick n pull. Sounded less loud and the engine seemed to be a little smoother. Drove it for another 400 miles and now the same thing happened to my partner where it dies out and looses power. So I’m gonna replace the air flow sensor again, but I want to consult you guys. 1. Should I buy the dealership OEM MAF sensor or the regular ones from the auto parts store? 2. You guys think I’m right in diagnosing it as the MAF failing again? its also throwing random misfire code and knock sensor 1 codes but im pretty sure they have been on for a while.) 2. If it is the MAF Why do you think the engine started messing up again after only 1000 miles even after I replaced the air intake stuff? When previously it ran for 7-8k miles on a new MAF sensor. Thanks folks. -Logan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Woah awesome!!! Thanks for the info. So I don’t need to change anything out for the lift kit I can just put new shocks? I guess I should look up how a lift kit works I really don’t know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2000 Nissan Pathfinder got blown ass suspension. Need new ones. Also need fromt axles… let me know. Located in SF Bay Area in Cali. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How much? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need new shocks but have a 2” AC lift. Do I need different size/type of shocks? I was hoping to find some cheap used ones that are still decent but not sure what to look for. Thanks. -Logan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do you guys think is the cheapest option? My shocks are all blown out. The rear ones were from a 2006 F250 and the front are kyb. I also have an AC 2 in lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you!!!

Hey everyone, new member here. 2000 Pathfinder manual transmission 191k miles Had her for about 10000 miles. Had to replace the MAF twice cuz the engine was dying. Once when i first got her, once last month. Suspensions blown, axles click in 4x4, windshields crack, no AC, manual engine fan switch, old GMC mirrors cuz i knocked the originals off sliding between two poles on the snow, no wiper fluid sprayer, driver door lock broken, ignition lock failing, welded differential. Thats the just the major stuff haha she runs though. I couldn’t sell it for much so i guess im stuck with it, we’ve been on some adventures. Right now I’m looking for the cheapest possible way to put some half decent suspension on and a new axle. Holla at me if u got the hookup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
