    Gas Light Is On...

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted · Edited by silver97ex

    So yesterday I was driving home from work and my gas light slowly came on. Approximately 3/4's of a tank in there (I know this for a fact). It went off for about 5 minutes and came back on the rest of the way home. Then this morning it was on all the way to work (22 miles). Gauge still reads correctly, trip odometer working...my Tach doesn't work but it never has :( This happened about 2 years ago where it came on for about 5 miles and went off, haven't seen it since, till yesterday. I have never seen it come on when I am actually low on gas, only these two times? Any thoughts on what may be going on?

    3.0 Lifter Replacement

    Hey guys. I am planning on replacing my lifters (driver's side only at this time) in the next week or two. I got 6 new OEM lifters from the Nissan dealer. I saw one thread on here that mentioned using a certain oil for break in and running the engine at 2K rpm for 15 minutes or so to initiate proper wearing. Though after that post there was no confirmation that this is the proper way to do this. I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this. What is the proper way to install lifters and properly break them in. I don't want to do this more than once (OEM lifter's aren't cheap!!). I also saw on the "proper procedure" (Mitchell and AllData) that during installation cylinder 1 should be placed at TDC prior to tightening the rocker arm assembly, then cylinder 4 at TDC also. I can't think of the reasoning behind this. Any help would be much appreciated. Pictures would be great too.

    Tach is jumpy!

    I had the same problem with my 95 when I bought it. I have put 2 or 3 JY tachs in it and one bought from a member here. Each one seems to work fine for a few weeks or a month or so, but they all eventually start being jumpy. I guess I should stop swapping tachs and find something else that is causing it... :headwall:

    UCA Bolts....

    Hey guys/girls, I ran into a slight issue today. So my UCA bushings were shot (Calmini 3" lift). I got replacement bushings and sleeves from Steve at Rugged Rocks (great guy and very helpful). I went into my work today to replace them, so I could have a lift, air tools, and an alignment rack ;) Bushings went in no problem but when I was doing the alignment I ran into a problem. I put the proper shims in and was tightening the bolts that hold the upper control arm...arm? to the frame. Maybe its called an upper spindle arm? I'm not sure, it is what the control arm mounts to and this bar mounts to the frame. Either way, the front bolt on the right side pulled the threads out of the frame. I got a bolt to kinda tighten so I was able to get it home, where it will sit for a while, I will drive my other car. I keep telling myself its a perfect time for a SAS but I still don't have the funds for that. I can't really think of any other option though, helicoil? Drill and tap it for a larger bolt? Any ideas? Thanks.

    Tailgate door switch?

    So I have had this weird thing going on for the past month or so. Whenever I hit a fairly large bump or turn right, my car thinks a door is open. The interior lights go on as does the light on the dash saying there is a door open. I have disconected both front and rear door switches hoping it would stop happening, but it didn't. The only thing I can think of before I dig really deep into the wiring, is the tailgate switch but I can't find it. Not the tire carrier switch but the actual tailgate. Hopefully someone can help me out so I can fix this crap. I know somebody on here has an answer.

     

    Thanks.
