89 Pathfinder 4WD Auto 4x4 Truck hard starts when cold, stalls, eats ridiculous fuel... Im getting a code 13 ect sensor. Is it really buried behind the t belt cover or is their a different way? Is their a way to test this thru the connector because i think... the connector is right in front of the ab valve if im not mistaken or do i actually have to take the sensor out? Does anyone know what it is supposed to read? Also,is this code 13 the cylinder head temperature sensor or what...anyone who can help clarify this for me? All tips tricks responses are greatly appreciated..!! Thanks

Mine rusted out and i just screwed the ish out of some sheet metal and put it over the holes on both sides... mine were hugeand rusted thru both back seat mounts on the bottom...it took 18 years..the seats are folded down..its a two seater now

Thanks for the quick responses fellas....I feel better now I was going to go blow my top on the tranny guy

Wassup Npora'ers.... I was just wondering how your auto trannys shift?..I just recently had mine rebuilt and I get a lurch or what you could call shift shock inbetween 1st and 2nd gear..Is this common for these tranny's? How does your tranny shift?

Whats up, I read the pinned thread about the auto tranny shift kit for the Pathfinder by 88PathOffRoad. I was just wondering if anyone has had one installed? Does it make the tranny shift firmer or harder? Have you had any problems with the tranny after installing the kit? I am getting my 89 rebuilt in 2 weeks and I am interested in hearing feedback on the kit. If its worth it ...Id like to order it and have it installed with my rebuild. Any and all feedback is appreciated!!! Thanks

I just read this whole thread start 2 finish and

Whats up, Im new also...Hello from Connecticut

89'Pathfinder 4x4 84K miles Auto (you can see a pic of the truck in the "introduce yourself" topic..Hello from CT thread) I was just browsing the forum and read alot of things on the Auto's. I'm having a little trouble understanding the Auto Trans Diagnosis thread(Depress the accelerator fully w/truck on or off?/?) Anyways...I also was reading about the insufficient cooling the trans gets and what not...I'm going to get her down to the trans shop sometime this week...around Hartford CT. Well my questions.... * If I opt for the rebuild..2-3grand im guessing Should I do a cooling system service...(read about radiator clogging with auto???) * Is adding the shift kit to the trans a good idea? * Aux. trans cooler? OR *What to look or check in a junkyard transmission...????? I think I located one closeby with 115k miles on it for $500. * If I opt for a junkyard install..What type of service other than a drop & Install will be needed??? Power flush? New filter? fluid?.....Cooling etc???? Estimates: * Complete Rebuild w/ 2yr 24k mile warranty, Shift Kit & Cooler...etc- Guessing anywhere from $2200-$3000 or * Junkyard tranny w/ 115k miles 30 day warranty-$500 + cooler an dservice..etc for trans Drop & Install $600-1200 - $16 1700 What do you think?

She will go thru the gears once normally... Then, 1st to 2nd and stay...I have to manually downshift or come to a complete stop to start out in 1st. If i try to stay cruising in 2nd ...the rpm skyrockets w/ no acceleration or power. I've been babying this pup since i got her 7 months ago, and am beginning the process of getting lubed up to take an anal invasion from the local trans shop No more auto's!

I live just outside Hartford, CT...

No bro...Im worried, I know she doesn't shift like that. She has no power @ 40 mph maybe 3500 rpm...and she's staying in 2nd. The fluid is fine(no burnt smell or shavings) and she has always had a proper maintenance schedule... Wouldn't I get a "power"light if she was in failsafe or...(Isn't failsafe reverse & 2nd)?

It's a 89 Pathy auto w/ 84k miles on it....It's not throwing any lights

I was driving to work today and Pathy wouldn't go past 45mph. She is staying stuck in 2nd gear and doesn't want to shift into 3rd...Im fearing transmission...I have no lights on the dash Is their a diag. port or...sensors Any insight?

Hey thanks alot....I wish I found you guys alot sooner!!! She is very nice...I bought it from my girlfriends father(original owner) & she was well taken care of...I have all the service records and what not. She had a garage for a home when not being driven for 15 years...until the Pathy had to take a driveway spot for my girlfriend's Passat

Here is my 89 Path.... http://
