Ok..

 

So Ill start from the very beggining just in case somethign is Relevant..

 

 

So i hadnt been driving my pathfinder very ofter simply cause gas prices are way too expensive and i get better gas milage in my car..

 

so i hadnt had ne gas in it at all for at least a month..

Well last week i decided to give her some gas and take her digin.

 

 

well.. i only put in $15 ..

 

and 5 minutes down the road.. it just stalls..

 

 

so i start her back up.. it takes aabout a minute for her to turn over.. and then shes runnin again..

 

 

but she has NO power.. top speed 5 miles an hour..

]

 

 

all sputterin and jerkin.. actin like sehs not gettin any gas..

 

 

 

 

so my first thought was maybe from my tank being dry for so long there was a sediment build up..

 

so i check my fuel filter.. it seems fine.. i can blow thru it.. but i have to blow pretty hard.. (should it be hard?)

 

i also used a compressor to try and blow out the fuel line..

 

 

i blew the bottom tube btw..

 

but it would not blow at all.. the tube bubbled before the line blew//

 

 

Im still very new at workin on my pathfinder..

 

i bouht it from a buddy of mine who rebuilt it...

 

 

but he just started a family and never has time for his friends nemore..

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

She will still start.. she just runs bad.. like shes not runnin on all cylinders maybe..

 

 

i dont know..

 

 

PLZ HELP..

 

its been raining for days.. and i wanna play in the mud NOW!!!

2nd, most likely... start there.. it's like $10 or so for one.. depressurise the line before unhooking anything. you do that by pulling the appropriate fuse.. location noted on fuse box cover. the little plastic clips that hold the filer hoses have a cross slide pin kind of thing.. push them out gently, not much force necessary but if you've never seen one of these, it's hard to figure out.
