Hey all Its been awhile since i have been on here , firstly let me say i dont know a great deal about motors except some of the basics. So the problem is when idling the motor sounds like it is skipping , I can feel the engine shake in the cab the idling is really low , Im not sure if just adjusting the idle screw would fix this problem , It sounds like it is going to conk out but it dosnt ,from what i can tell when driving on open roads the car feels fine and revs fine its only when idling you can really notice it , Im stressed out as im low on funds and really need my car for work so any ideas would be much appreciated . Just to save time here is a list of work/repairs Ive had done on it. Spark plugs and fuel pump new Idler arm rear shocks oil filter master drum break clynder wheel alignment new belts battery is all good cheers Dage.

when i brought the pathy the spare came with it. Its a Dunlop snow grip or some crap like that,i couldnt see any signs of it being a retread it looked unused but who knows how long it has been sitting around for before i owned it, just forked out 170 bucks for a Maxis A/T 30x9.5 looks pretty good for a spare! the tyres im running at the moment are Hankook A/T when i get a new set i might get 31s muddys or A/T not sure yet, been advised not to get any bigger than 31s somthing to with the drivetrain of my model pathfinder the guy said i would lose heaps of power being a Z24.

Thanks for that i found the problem maybe i should of posted this under tyres.............Cheap spare tyres !! it turns out the shuttering and jolting was my tyre splitting that was yesterday today it exploaded and i thought the ass end of my truck fell off ha !! thankfully my spare tyre not my main tyres i run >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>pics here

Hey all its been awhile. Anyway i own a 1988 pathy im in Australia and my problem is ( i dont know a hell of alot about engines, a little) but ive noticed today im having trouble with acceleration , its gotten worse the more i drove it today , so im not driving it anymore , i can feel it jolting not heaps but enough mainly when i hit 3rd and 4th gear its like its struggling for power and yeah its getting worse any ideas would be great thanks Dage.

ok thanks Kiwipete and Dave will check that out ........ive meaning to book it in for a service for a while now

ok mmm the hand break light only comes on when the hand break is pulled its just one light for the hand break only. i had no idea that the hand break uses break fluid,the break fluid is low but it hasnt reachd the minimum marker as yet so i didnt think it would be a problem but maybe you are right and it does need refilling. the light also comes on for a second when taking a hard corner so yeah i thought the hand break might of been a bit loose i have just 1 light for the hand break.

Hey i have a simple problem , i went 4Wheelin sunday and now my hand break light keeps turning on over slight bumps even no the hand break is completly off . Could it need tightning ? any help would be good and how to do it if thats the prob Cheerz
