    Body lift blocks

    in 86.5-89 WD21 Pathfinders

    also the fuel lines will likely be too short and you may have to relocate the filter if its in the engine compartment like in the v6 and if you are a manual the clutch fluid lines will need to be stretched on the passenger side firewall as well...

    A whole helluva lot of time, lots of beer and at least one friend...oh and a garage incase it rains. And if you are as unlucky as I was a hole in the ground to stick a piece of steel in the ground to winch the body backwards by the tire carrier to make it sit right on the frame.... :rolleyes:

    I have a complete wiring harness from the engine and computer from a 91 vg30e if you are interested. originally I was going to do the swap of the entire intake manifolds, throttle body etc, have all the parts, just dont think i will ever have the time. If you want it let me know.

    Valve and TBI questions

    2 questions 88: do you have any sort of backfireing or any wierd popping noises around 1500 Rpm on decelleration? and are you auto or manual? I have a manual and it has been doing that for years just wondering if it could be your clogged spot before I take it all apart...

    header differences from 89 to 90

    The headers will not fit easily as the 90+ pathys have a flange on them and the bend is different and this will hit the frame crossmember that is different on the 90 and up. It is much farther forward,so unless you are good at bending and welding I would suggest you find a set made for an 89( how do I know this, because I had the same problem and bought the 90+ header anyway as a last resort....It didnt work) Hope you get the message in enough time.

    Throttle Body Backfires

    Going to get a manual in the next few days. The only code I have ever gotten was an injector leak. I got it once when I changed the injuctor about 4 years ago and the again about 3 months ago the CEL came on though I never got a chance to check the codes. But both times it went away without my doing anything. If I remember correctly I had tried to take off the EGR valve once before and was unable to do so because the threaded posts that it has to slide off of are too long to get it off. It hits the firewall before it can come off the posts.I am assuming then that I need to remove the whole intake to do this or can I get away with just loosening it enough to slide it away from the back of the intake manifold? Sorry for the long post...

    Throttle Body Backfires

    Ok I havent checked the codes in a while or checked the egr valve operation ( you know, push on the bottom of the valve till the engine stumbles) in about a year and a half. So how do I go about cleaning out the egr passages in the motor? also is the declleration valve the same thing as the ab valve?

    My 89 Pathy (V6 5 speed, 4x4) has been backfiring through the intake for a few years now...Only on deceleration, accelleration is totally fine. I have a set of Pacesetter headers K&N filter and a Borla catback on it. Had someone check the timing, Changed the thermostat, AB valve,PCV Valve, vacuum lines, air filter, the little breather filter inside the air cleaner....still doing it. It is actually blowing oil out of the K&N filter all over the inside of the air cleaner housing. It happens right at 1500 RPM consistently. I am totally out of ideas. I have been chasing the problem for about 3 years now, just throwing money at it and I still have no answers...

    High pitched sound/squeal at 20-25 MPH

    I had a similar problem. I came up with the wheel bearings as the source of the noise on my truck. It would come and go and it really got annoying to the point where I went and bought the wheel bearing locknut tool. It was the right front wheel bearing that wasnt torqued enough. I noticed that it would show up after I had hit a bump that would slightly elevate the front like cresting a small hill really quickly...
