Guest deathtrap Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi I am new to the board. I have a 88 Nissan Pathfinder XE V6 4x4 Automatic with 220,000 miles. It is my winter beater. I had $1000 to spend and I was looking into getting a new winter beater, but didn't have any luck. After coming across to this website and reading about them I decided to invest that money in the Pathfinder. $500 of it already went to new tires and 4-wheel alignment. I rad past troubleshooting topics to try and get my pathfinder to run smooth, I have cleaned my MAF after reading in past topics. I plan on getting new wires, plugs, shocks, and change the hoses. In the summer I have a mint 1979 Black Z28 with Red and Orange stripes and T-tops. I call my Pathfinder the Deathtrap because of driving it last winter. I hear all sorts of metal hit metal when I go over bumps. Does anyone know what the little box is that the spark plug wire goes to thats not a spark plug mine is laying in a pile of rust and its coroded and cracking and then the thing behind it that is in front of the break booster and master cylinder circle shaped what is it I poked it and it fell apart(the two pieces separated). It still starts fine and runs besides the rough idle and puttering. I want to get it winter ready before the snow starts falling. Thanks for any help or info you can provide, I will be in hear regular. As I anticipate two problems to arise for every one I fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Welcome! That's a seriously rusty beast. First mod would be to lose that Bush sticker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The thing that has a plug wire going to it that is rusted off is the ignition coil . I'm amazzed the coil is still working, it's pretty rusted. The coil pack, if it's running and it's a winter beater you don't want to put much money on, just zip tie it to something so it doesn't bounce around. The other thing.........not sure.

Guest deathtrap Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey I live in MN and there are a lot of republicans here as far as the bush sticker goes, and cops seem to like the bush sticker, no tickets yet, it's kinda of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
