    Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

    in How-To's

    Posted

    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

    Transmission Shift Kit?

    in The Garage

    Posted

    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

    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! :stickwack:

    What RPM were you getting? and I'm assuming Automatic?

     

    Mines an auto and, when it's cold, it sometimes wont' shift into third below 50 MPH. RPM are a LITTLE high (just above 3k) but the OD does engage *shrugs*.

     

    Once it warms up, I can get it to drop into 3rd + OD and sometimes if I go up to 50 I can get the TC to lock up too :)

     

    Might not be anything to worry about.

    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)?

    What year Pathfinder? Did you accidentally turn off O/D or something? It should throw a light if it doesn't want to shift on purpose but I couldn't tell you for sure without the year

     

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