My truck keeps hesitating on acceleration

[Guest A_Perd]

....in every other mode of driving. I dunno what it is, it's just when I accelerate the first 1-2000 rpms are really hesitant. Could it just be something as simple as changing the fuel filter? Doubt that's been done for a while, the thing has 294,980 kms and was running like crap until I got a bunch of stuff fixed.

 

The hesitation still remains though.

Have you done a tune up on the Pathfinder

Rotor, Distributer cap, wires, plugs, air filter, engine flush???

[Guest A_Perd]

I planned on flushing the engine tomorrow if I have time, the other stuff I will have to take care of when I get a bit more money, I just dropped $787 on a rad/waterpump/timing belt/fanbelt with the labour included. Cooool.

I would replace the cap, rotor, wires and plugs before doing anything else ... if you have a timing light or can borrow one, verify your timing after doing the above ... this would be a good start ...

[Guest A_Perd]

Alright...well I'm not much of a do-it myself guy, but I think I can handle this.

 

Hollaaa, it better work or I swear, I'll shed tears. Damnit, I miss my old Pathfinder.

Mine does that a little bit, perticually when I have just turned the car on. It hesitates for a second while im accelerating then is fine.

chances of a split vacumn line??

as you can see it can be almost anything. When or how did this start? did you do anything to your tk right before that? if that's the case, retrace your steps to make sure everything is a OK. After that you just have to start the process of ellimination. Run the codes and see if there is anything there to point you in the dir of the prob. Otherwise, tune job (and timing,) filters (air/fuel,) and check all of the vaccum hoses for tight connection. good luck, hope your tk gets better soon.
