Thank you Precise1.. I'm blind you smart ass ehum, just kidding .. yeah, I'm gonna check for thoose later when I got the time.. pretty much to do at work now. Damn, the snow is starting to fall soon, my winter tires looks like pingpong-balls, I want my summers! of course, I can always try those screw dubs we got in the store

Perfect guys!

No shop manual directly but a do-it-self book with a complete teardown and builtup in it, has helped me alot.. now, my truck runs much better after cleaning the MAF sensor, it's jumping around 100 rpms now, and thats a hugh difference... that's something I can live with much better than 800-2000.. and when I clutch its falling like an apple from a tree, not going up like it did before.. so thousands of thanks to you! I'm gonna do a little service now, change all oils and so on, what type of oil do you guys use in the gearbox? What is appropriate to do in a.. middle service, oils, spark plugs, filters, rotor, grease in all nipples (anyone got a discription where all the nipples are?), what more can I do to help the truck live a long and happy life? Also, I've read the thread of the gearboxes.. my gearbox (I think) makes a strange burring noice on the third gear (and only in the third gear) between 1500-1800 rpm, is that something that I'm gonna bother trying to fix? It sounds like a bearing that runs dry but it's strange that its just in those rpm and on third gear.. I was quite worried when I read the other thread...

Okay Simon! I had a thought if it is some machanical issues inside the carburator and the injectorpart is trying to compensate for this, dont know.. Anyway, I have cleaned the MAF but it is still the same. I'm going home now, it feels like I am living at work.. tonight me and my girlfriend is going to see Joe Labero, a famous magician, it's going to be nice with a little break from everything, and maybe finish the evening with a few beers Thank you for all your help so far, don't really know how to go on now.. I think I'm gonna check the exhaust plugs for sparks.. we'll see..

Feels good that you are still here, I went up to take a p*ss around 5 and I had to check you guys out, after that I could go back to sleep again Now to my problem, I have just ran the diagnostic test, and it showed one fault.. 5 reds and 5 greens, wich is 55 "No Malfunction", what does this mean? (its like, everything is working OK, isnt it?) Another thing, how does this test function, does it just send a value to say a sensor, and the sensor sends back another value, but the ECU isnt smart enough to read what that is? he just knows that he got a answer and then says everything is OK? Was wondering if I should take apart the MAF and clean it, but if there would be something wrong there, shouldnt the ECU tell me that? Or is it just if the MAF is totally fckt up, maybe with a wire off or something?

Cool! Maybe we can get together and take a cup of coffee like we do in Sweden lol it sounds kinda queer...

This may be a stupid note and I am really tired and I've tried to read through the other posts, but are you sure the sound is coming from a lifter? It can't be like a bearing in a tensioner or a wheel for the timing belt? Does your motor take any oil? Bluesmoke? When you start the car you should propably hear the lifters, just for a sec, right? Is it the same db on startup and after a while? Is this the same sound (at startup) as you are hearing when you have droven a bit? Sounds very strange, and I guess I dont even have to bother asking how your oilpressure is... Hm... Just remembered one more thing, just like Precice1 says under, do it the right way, otherwise, you may be wanna adjust your vents.. I had to do this on my Audi V6 and it's also has the hydraulic lifters, dont know if it's possible on your motor though? You can take away the gen. belt and see if its runs any quiter, if of course youre not sure it's inside the motor the sound are coming from.

Yes, the Z24i... You say that there arent many members with this motor, when folks talk about the 4-cylinder motor, is'nt this it? Hm, this exhaust plugs, what is that? The other owner said he had this problem for two year, but he just lived with it.. he had never trouble with the CO or something like that at the swedish motor vehicle inspection.. and he only used this car a few times at hunting season. I read some things about the MAF-sensor, so I'm going to clean it tomorrow and see if it helps.. also check the ECU for codes. Perhaps I can take it apart and take a sneak peak (?dont know where I got that from or dont even know what it means but it sounded good in my mouth lol?) at the timing chain and its tensioner as you said, the tensioner and idling wheels(?) cant be a bad thing to change, just in case.. and if the chain feels bad I'm changing that too of course. It feels like a jungle and that there can be a hundreds of problems, but I have promissed myself that I'm gonna figure this one out. Thank you for your information Precise1! 02:28, it's time for bed my friends, it's gonna be a tough day tomorrow!

lol Pezzy, I think you all are nice people I think they are going to Thief River Falls, and that's the right place for me, would be awsome to see the Cat-factory. It's been kinda popular to go over and buy a bunch of stuff and send them back home, it's a huuugh price-difference, but, the Hay Days would be the ultimate thing! And yes, this seems to be the forum to be in, I was so glad when I found this site yesterday, I have searched the net a long time but this was just.. great! I have already had a lot of help from the exploaded views that I found via this site..

Are all americans this nice? The closest I've got to you is Van Dam on the tellie If I get lucky, me and some workingbuddies are going over the pool in february, it would be realy cool but it costs a little bit, especially since me and my partner just bought a house, that's one of the reason I bought the Pathfinder, had a little idea to avoid shove the house lot when the snow starts to fall

Hello everyone, as I said in my introduction I am from Sweden so I'm sorry for my english, hope you understand me anyway Can start to say that i _have_ used the search-function, and found a few with the same problem (not on this motor) but I have some more questions, hope you dont mind that I start a new thread. I just bought a Pathfinder -88 2.4 (45000miles(?), 28000 swedish miles), had it a few month and on idling its oscillates, pretty annoying in crossings and so on, everyone looks at me like I'm fskced up and cant drive a car lol When cold its at 2000rpm, then it goes down to 800-900, and then jumps between that and 1500-1800, the cars works perfectly fine when driving, but when I am shifting gear and press the clutch, it only goes down to 2000rpm, if I hold it for a while it goes down to 800-900 and starts to jump again untill I release the clutch. Also, its a strange sound from the exaust, sorta.. poffing, or something? (only when idling) I tried to put some cleaningfluid (dont remember the name, it's for cleaning the whole system) in the tank but that did not help. I've checked for vacuumleeks but did'nt found any, the airfilter is fresh and the ignitionparts are new (rotor arm, rotor, spark plugs and so on, also fuelfilter), How does the coldstart/automatic choke(direct translated from swedish) work, can that be the problem? I have seen some tips of the MAF, where do I find that and what does it do? I guess the TPS is like in a snowmobile, throttle position sensor? Is the TPS positioned against the firewall, in back of the.. cant find the world? Can it have to do anything with that? It's like a ratnest under the airfilter, cables and stuff goes here and there, hard to troubleshoot when I have never had this type of system in a car earlier (dont do much car-repars, often work with snomobiles but thats a whooole other thing) Another question I have, the timing chain, after this miles, is it in my interest to change it? I know in some cars you change them and in others the manufactors say it will last as long as the car lasts. This was a long post but I hope someone has the time to read it hoping to get help to fix this problem, I'm rather satisfied with the car overall and it will be perfect to have a trailer behind when the snow comes, a little bit better then my lowered Audi with a car<->ground measure around 1 dm had some problem with that up in the mountain last year, we where pretty stuck, hope that dont gonna happen now EDIT. Just wanna to apologize, just found a how to cleaning the MAF... I'm gonna read it through directly!

Hello! 23 years old, born and raised in Sweden (that's why my english can be kinda crappy, was a few years since school) Just bought my first Nissan Pathfinder, it's a -88 with the 2.4 in it. Loves the car but I think if I hade the option I would pick the V6 instead. Working as a snomobile mechanic/salesman, Arctic Cat is of course the only way! Sending a little pic of my car, havent got the time to do anything cool with it yet but it will come, got tons of ideas after surfing this site for a while
