I am located in Jacksonville, FL and i was actually going to place an ad on here, but figured I would start with craigslist locally first. I have it on my local craigslist for $400 tonight and will post it on here tommorow afternoon. 94pathy, Yea I thought the same thing when this woman told me she forgot to bring the title. I figured worse case, I would file for the lost title and then register, but, after 3 trips to the DMV I was told that I could not register unless she filed for a lost or dup title and then signed over to me. I probably registered 3 different vehicles by lost title apps in MS, but FL is different and now I know. Also, it is only 2wd so no transfer and no quite worth as much. But, still a very good part vehicle considering all the bolt ons and the A/C works great... Thanks again to everyone and I am sure to be back in another Pathfinder, but 4x4 next time. Dave

Well gang its official I am not going to fix the pathfinder, I am going to sell it as a parts car. I am going to see if I can sell it for $400 locally as a parts car only. WHY? Because the lady (which I use loosely) has told me to kiss her @$$ and all the lies that she has told me up to now was just that and she doesn't have the title and is not going to get a dup title, so I can register it..... I have been hearing sob story about being sick and being broke and and and....It really boils down to me being dumb enough to buy a vehicle from someone that lived 2 hours away and not having the title in hand.......Nobody to blame but myself.....well maybe a little on her part for all the lies and promises....LOL Anyways, I cannot see any reason to continue to troubleshoot and fix a truck that I cannot even register and drive legally. So, thank you to everyone that offered advise and opinions. This is a very good forum. Much better than many of the others that I have used with just a bunch of drivers and not many actual enthusiast. If for some reason I end up with the time and the ability to part it out, I will let everyone here know...I just don't know if I would be able to get $500-$600 out of it to make it worth the time and effort it would take to part out and ship parts.

Had to take a break and go to work, but my friend came by with the noid tester and it turns out that the injectors are not firing off. Soooooo, thats about all I know at this point. I will take a look at the wiring to the injectors per 88path and see if anything is obvious, other than that should I assume it is the computer? I actually downloaded the manuals and are going to take a closer look a them. I am even worse at reading wiring diagrams then I am at diagonosis. LOL Thanks for all yalls help, Dave

Yea Beavis, I thought about that and I opened the fuel line and pumped some into a glass and it appeared dirt and water free but thats about all I could tell..... Bowtied, I did check for spark ass backwards....Today I actually pulled the plug and it was sparking well. I can hear the pump running when I turn the key on So I will try your method to build pressure and see what happens. Thanks guys, hopefully this will pan out to be just a pump....Is it in the tank???? I haven't looked yet.

OK guy, thanks a ton for the input.... I did not swap the ECU, because a mechanic that we know said that could backfire, because it could mess up the good computer and I definately don't want to have to buy 2 ECU's..... We sprayed some starter fluid into the intake and the truck stayed running as long as I kept spraying. So, I am back to fuel...the mechanic friend said he would bring over a noid tool on Monday to see if the injectors were firing and in the meantime I am going to go ahead and change the fuel filter (just to be sure) I would seem that if the injectors are firing, then it would have to be either a pump or regulator????? Thanks again for the suggestions and comments and sorry for relaying misinformation..I did say earlier that I was bad at troubleshooting. Dave

Hey Thanks, Mookie and thunder... Mookie...where is that crank angle sensor at? Thunder I will check into the tool...I was thinking of putting a meter on the plug coming out of the dizzy. I don't think it is the plug wires, just because I am not getting any kind of fire...but you never know. Thanks again
-
I am going to swap the ECU's tommorow and I will give an update then.... I appreciate the help during the happy hour
-
Yea beavis, I actually pulled the wire from the plug and put a volt meter on the plug wire end, while cranking... Funny you mentioned the tongue trick as I was typing licking the wires...
-
I did change the plugs about 6 months ago...Did not do the wires. Haven't been using oil... Trucks been running fine...no issues at all...until it died power was good and consitant.... I have not done a compression check...(I am have been focused on the No juice to plugs issue) No problem on all the questions...its what I am looking for... I think I will throw back a 12 pack and go lick some wires for testing....
-
Hey thanks slick, I am assuming I would need a fuel pressure gauge to check this and where would I check it at. I actually wish the fuel pump was the problem.....But, without spark at the plugs, I think I have electrical issues and those are the worst for me.... I am actually thinking about swapping out the computer with the other 92' that is available to just rule out the computer. Dave

The filter was replaced about 6 months ago. The pump is working the only thing I am not sure of is how much pressure is supposed to be coming through. I pulled the line from the front side (between filter and injectors) and so when I pulled the line off the top of the filter and turned on the key it was pumping fuel and it shot up about 3 inches. I don't know if it should have had more pressure, it seems like it should be higher pressure, but I am thinking that if the line was connected it would build up the right pressure.

Yep, Beavis is right..... On a side note, I have been trying to start the motor off and on for 2 days now and when I tried to start it for the first time today, it actually tried to start. By this I mean it fired for about 3 seconds and then went right back to just turning over without starting. Thanks for the help
-
Thanks slick, looks like that will be on my list of things to replace, but not until I get it running again. Any ideas on that dizzy issue? Thanks again Dave
-
Well Beavis was right, I have juice going to the cap, but nothing going to the plugs. I tried a different cap and rotor and still nothing. Distributor? anyone know how to check to see if it is the dizzy? Any suggestions on the next step? I can change parts, I am just bad at figuring out what to fix. Thanks, Dave

Hey guys, Well, I went out early this morning and did the self Diag. and the only one that kept flashing was 34 (knock sensor) could this cause a no start issue? where the heck is the knock sensor and is it hard to replace? Searching.... Thanks, Dave
-
Will do
-
Your right Beavis I checked to the cap and only pulled the cap to check for rotation. Tommorow I should pull a plug to make sure I am getting it all the way. thanks, Dave
-
Sorry guys I should have been more descriptive. I'm with you, TB was the first thing that came to mind when it died. Which is why I was hesitant about trying to restart it, but I did it anyways and it turns over fine and with compression and the rotor does turn. It turns over good, I don't know where the fusible link is, so I haven't check it. I am off tommorow so I am going to dig in. I am going to start with the self diognosis and work my way from there. I do consider myself lucky in a way, because I sold my previous 92' pathy to my father in law and he said I could use it to test out some parts..ie computer and such.. Right now I am guessing that since I have spark and good fuel pressure, that maybe the injectors are firing. OR ................. Thanks for the responses, Dave

Hello all, I am hoping for some help or suggestions, I have had my 1992 Pathy 2wd XE Auto for 6 months, it has about 325,000 miles. I have not had any problems with it and then today, I was driving through a parking lot at about 10 mph and it just went dead, with no warning signs, no sputtering, wasn't hot and I pulled the line off of the top of the fuel filter and it is pumping gas..(I can hear the pump too) With the basic test light I had, I had juice at the plug that goes into the Dizzy from the coil. I know there are a ton of places to check, but it got dark and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the path of least resistance. Thanks in advance Dave
