Jairo2000 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hey,guys I've been trying to figure out this problem I've been having with my 95 Pathfinder XE. After like 5-10 mins of idling the engine just dies & cranks, then waiting for a while it will start right back up again. I've cleaned MAF sensor, changed the ignition coil, Main Relay & Fuel Pump Relay both click, changed the ignition control module (power transistor) & cleaned the distributor cap & rotor. I even checked the ECU & got a 55. I checked for spark & it seems like when the engine dies, & I crank it there isn't any spark coming from the ignition coil to the distributor, but after waiting a while & letting the car rest & starting it again there is spark. Really don't know where the problem is coming from. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo3chang Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Are the spark plugs hooked up in order? I've seen my old vg30 run in reverse for a bit after stalling and shutting off. Spark plugs were in wrong order paired with timing issue Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 You don't have a funky alarm issue do you? Bad distributor? Loose intake hose clamps or cracked I take hose? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairo2000 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi, yes I do have funky alarm issue. The factory alarm has been acting up, it tends to alarm on it's own at times. Is there any way I can go about fixing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I am not familiar with the alarm system wiring but I would check the wiring from the switch on the console. You may want to look at the alarm wiring diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm pretty sure the stock alarm can only disable the starter. I suspect the failure is connected to the motor warming up. No spark when warm makes me suspect the sensor in the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
