  1. Hey fam. It's been a while since last post hope all are well.

    2011 Pathfinder SV 4x4 158k 

     

    Tachometer isn't working properly anymore...needle flutters and mostly sits below zero on acceleration, sometimes works as it should but it's not right. CEL is on but it's an evap small leak code pretty sure it's not related. Question is if I replace the cluster with a junkyard cluster will I have to get it programmed with a dealer scan tool to reflect the correct mileage or is it plug and play? I would think the ecm would store the odometer reading but just want to make sure before I buy a used cluster. Any insight is much appreciated 

    Thanks, Drew

     

  2. Excuse my ignorance fellas,

     

    Doing Tbelt and water pump....

     

    Trying to set what I think is TDC...I have the cam marks aligned and the indicator on the cover is pointing at the 0 mark on the damper. But the rotor isn't pointing at the 1 spark plug...its off a little pointing more to where the coil wire would go on the cap. First time doing this so I want to make sure its right before i go any further...I searched around and looked in my haynes but its kinda vague. what am I missing here? Can anyone shed some light? I have 1 day to do this..

  3. 89 Pathfinder 130k auto

     

    Power light is flashing again on my rig everytime ....Shifts real hard! and seems late between 1st and 2nd on light

     

    to medium throttle, will slam into 2nd around 2700rpm ...If Im wot it doesnt slam into 2nd but still jerks noticeably. .

    Ran A/T diagnostics and get the "Throttle position sensor shorted or disconnected" code....

     

    Checked the ecu and get 55....no codes found...Idk why it would throw a tps code on the ATU and not the ECU.?

     

    Followed fsm procedure and checked tps at the connector on the throttle body and at the AT unit in the rear

     

    speaker panel with meter and it's within range with no fluctuation or softspots I can see on the meter....In the last

     

    couple months, only once the power light didnt flash a code on startup and the truck shifted like a top...anyone

     

    have any insight where I should go from here?

     

    I would hate to piss away the $ on a new tps before I check everything I can..

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  4. Pretty straight forward with a little bit of work. I'm glad it was that simple. :aok:

     

    I'm chasing brake problems and it makes me consider just replacing the MC to get it out of the equation.

    fyi, the best deal on a master i found that was in stock was advance ...if u order anything online thru nov30 and use promo code NV27, you get 15% off anyting over $50 and get $25 off a $50 purchase the next time....

    i went with a cardone reman, and it was a oem nissan topico unit and came with 4 plastic bleeder nipples and hose (these m10 nipples can be a bitch to find in stock if u need them)

     

    total price with core exchange was $65 plus the $25 promo i get back ...not too bad

  5. Your "supposed" to clamp off the line and open the bleeder when compressing in the caliper (guilty, I rairly do that), any issues compressing in the calipers though? Did the pads compress onto the rotor at all when you pumped it up? You clean and lube the pad slides/contact points? How about the caliper slides? Cleaned and lubed as well?

     

    I should have been more specific from the start...

    I swapped the pads pumped them up, still felt weak almost no pedal after a spin around the block...so thats when i started checking for leaks, pulled wheels to take a look at pistons ...seemed ok...then decided to try and bleed, dont see load sensing valve or anything like that, bled according to manual from right rear, left rear, driverside front,then pass.side.. the bleeder nipple on driver side front caliper was tight as a bitch so it took heat to loosen it...started the bleed process all over again, accordingly. now i have no pedal at all. pistons in the calipeers were kinda tight, but seemed ok.

    pins are greased and fine ...rears bleed fine, fronts dont...

     

    If I just bolt off the master cyinder ports i should have a firm ass pedal no?

  6. I've never heard of that issue. No leaks anywhere, the MC is full (enough) and all you get from the bleeder is air? Have you tried a gravity bleed? I'm not sure it will help but it can't hurt. Top off the MC, put a hose on the bleed nipple and into a container, open the bleed nipple and just let it sit for 15-30 minutes, checking to see if anything is coming out.

     

    B

     

    An afterthought, when you compressed the pistons back into the caliper, did you have the bleed nipple open? Nipple.

     

     

    No, i hav never had to bleed the brakes to swap pads..so all nipples were closed. ...

  7. 89 4 wheel discs

     

    Swapped pads in the front and now I have no pedal...compressed pistons back in ...went to pump them up and have nothing.....no leaks visible around the mc or at any lines......tried to bleed and rears bleed fine, fronts won't bleed will blip a lil fluid then air after multiple passes....I'm thinking I may have fudged the mc but not sure.........what should I start with.....already checked that booster is airtight...

     

    Any sure fire way to test the master cylinder...?

     

    If a calipers leaking should I see fluid on the piston cup seals?

     

    Need some insight from the gurus.

     

     

  8. Sorry about this late response, i tried to use the spark plug trick. it turns and turns but doesn't come out. i can turn the nut anyway i want with just my fingers. Any other suggestions?

     

    Idk man , thats a tight space in their...you may have to take the cover off and go at it, If it were me, id probably try and zap a quick weld on that nut and tit their and then try again, after that idk cover gotta come off.

  9. Hey bud...read my thread in "THE GARAGE" "HOW TO" section....its called "Engine Coolant Temp Sensor", It explains how u can swap that temp sensor easily without taking off the tbelt cover.....also, to check ur ecu codes...turn ur key to " ON" and flip the toggle switch on ur ecu to "diagnostics" ...when the red light blinks 3 times flip the switch back to "OFF" ur ecu will blink ...count the red flashes followed by the green ..red equals 10s , green equals 1s.......example, 3red then 3 green is 33... ...55 is normal operation...tell us what u come up with....cheers
