That sucks! My mechanic wants to charge me $18. Is it worth the $18?

I have a 1997 LE and the fog light bulb burned out. I purchase the bulbs but I don't know how to change them. can anyone tell me how I to do it? I've changed my headlights and taillights but i can't figure out how to do this with the fog lights. Thanks

Its says that they should be gapped at .044

Thanks for the info. It looks like the wires are setup correctly. The plugs I put are NGK BKR5ES-11.

I don't know how the valuetrain would sound or where it is. It only happens as mentioned before. I've had this problem for at least 2 years now. When I change the spark plugs it's a bit less. Any idea what it can be?

It has a little knocking when I go in reverse slowly coming out of the garage and when I'm in drive and have the brake applied. Even more when the A/C is on and I'm at a stand still in drive. I thought it was the plugs so i changed them. I also notice the mechanic who did the tuneup last never gapped the plugs. I gapped the new ones I just put in.

I changed my spark plugs today (NGK regular). I also replaced the wires with NGK wires. The ones I had were very cheap and broke when I was changing the spark plugs. I was looking at the wires and I feel that the mechanic who did the last tuneup put them out of order. Is there any diagram out there that would show me where each wire should go?

My A/C compressor finally died. I only get hot air coming out now.

Is this something I can change myself? the only exp I have is changing oil and spark plugs. Would I need any special tools?

thanks for the info. I made it to Tampa and back.

Thanks for the replies. My A/C still cools the same. The only thing is that when I put the blower switch to "2" its very low like "1". When I put it at "3" its like being on "2". Like I said earlier its been doing this for 3 years. When I put a new compressor in that compressor will also have a clutch? Does anyone know the part number or part name I need? I have seen some that say clutch or no clutch. Are there any other parts I need to change that are part of the compressor? So I'm ok ok to drive to Tampa and back. (65-70 miles each way). Thanks again.....

I added freon like 2 months ago but it wasn't that. When I turn the A/C on you hear a loud click. I really don't know what the clutch is. Is it something I can find? Thanks

My A/C compressor has been making noise now for at least 2 years. Sometimes when the cold air isn't coming out I have to Press the A/C button a few times and it kicks in. My question is, If the A/C compressor stops working all together will it cause my truck to turn off while driving or not turn on at all? I'm driving this week to Tampa which is about 60 miles and don't want to get stuck. I have a 1997 Pathfinder LE. Thanks in advance!

LOL!!! I think I meant hose. I'll have them connect the computer again.

Ok its now been a bit over a month and the noise never came back. I'm going to have believe they never put enough oil in it.

Hello, Do you have one or know where I can get the pathfinder 1997 LE diagnostic procedures? Thanks,

I've had the Knock Sensor code appear for about 5 years, but the "Service Engine Soon" light hasn't come for that. last week the light finally came on and when advanced auto parts connected the computer it said the Knock sensor (of course) and something about and emission house. Does that sound right? If so what is that?

When you say weight oil you mean the type for example 5w30? If so I will check and let you know. What type of oil should be in there? I have 173,000 miles on the truck (1997 LE).

If the lifter goes completely dead will my truck stop running? Can the lifter be replaced? How many lifters are there? Can the oil pump be replaced? After adding 1 quart of oil the ticking stopped on the drive home which is about 15 min. Thank you so much for helpig me out. I love this site!

I was ticking, I mean thinking the same thing. I'm taking it to a real mechanic (No franchise) next week. Hopefully some one on this forum might be able to tell me what it is. The Tire Kingdom mechanic said the sound is something inside the engine that starts with "L". I don't remeber the name of it. I'm afraid to drive the truck.

I heard a ticking sound coming from my engine. I had the oil changed 2 weeks ago at Tire Kingdom. Today when I was driving the oil light came on and there was a ticking noise coming from the engine. I went to Tire Kingdom and they said I wasn't that low on oil. They added a quart and the oil light turned off. The mechanic at Tire Kingdom said my engine is about to die because after adding the oil you could still hear the ticking a bit. When I was driving back home the sound went away. I parked the truck and 3 hours later I turned the truck back on and it didn't tick. Is my engine dying? Should I keep driving it? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks Jose, The Nissan Dealer($89.99)and Allied Tires($79.99)said I need a 4 wheel alignment. I found a local mechanic shop that charges $29.99 for front wheel alignment and another place charges $49.99 for a 4 wheel alignment. Nissan mentioned something about using laser to line up the front wheels with the rear wheels.

I want to get a wheel alignment on a 1997 LE. Is it necessary to get all 4 wheels aligned or is it ok to just do the front wheels? Thanks

Ok so I finally changed the radiator. I got radiator on ebay for $66.00. I had installed for $64.00. I got my own upper and lower hoses and clamps. The total cost for this job was $165.00. I feel this price was good. My next thing is the rack and pinion. I was driving home on Saturday and when I'm on a curve I have to turn the wheel more then normal. It feels like I'm sliding. The tires are brand new so i know its not that. I stopped driving the truck until I get the rack and pinion. I was told now by every mechanic I've seen that the whole thing needs to be changed. The bushings are done with. It really sucks not knowing about fixing cars. Any suggestions?
