#411 of 450 Re: propellor shaft grease [pathstar1] by smokey75 Nov 18, 2007 (8:47 am)
Replying to: pathstar1 (Dec 29, 2005 6:54 am) I've had good luck getting grease into mine. I just have to keep telling myself not to fill the driveshaft - one or two squirts is all it needs. I seem to recall getting a metric end for my grease gun years ago.   Ok... I realize this is a really old message to be replying to but I was looking at some of my old bookmarked stuff. Pathstar1, you still alive? So what would happen if you filled the front driveshaft with grease... errr.... hypothetically?
#412 of 450 2001 spark plugs by smokey75 Nov 18, 2007 (8:51 am)
My 2001 Pathfinder is approaching 105,000 miles and new spark plugs. Anyone changed theirs on a 2001? Is it pretty straightforward or anything different on this vehicle?

#414 of 450 Maintenance by lemonhater1 Jan 23, 2008 (9:10 am)
Just leased an '08 Pathfinder. In reading the fine print of my lease agreement it does not appear that it requires the maintenance to be performed by a Nissan dealer. Has anyone had any experience at lease-end with this issue ? Will I be in violation of my lease if I use a mechanic that I trust versus a local Nissan dealer that I don't trust ?

Replying to: lemonhater1 (Jan 23, 2008 9:10 am) You must keep all receipts for service work. You can even do the work yourself, as long as you have the receipts for oil & filters etc. Reg. Frank R.
#417 of 450 Help with 01 Pathfinder Oxygen Sensors by sallen462 Jul 04, 2008 (3:01 am)
I have an 2001 PF with 93K miles. Bought it new, always maintained at Nissan dealership per owners manual guidelines. Since it was new have replaced various oxygen sensors multiple times. I know there are four on the vehicle. In total I've replaced various front and back sensors seven times. This was fine when vehicle was under original warranty and extended warranty. But now that it's out of warranty the Nissan dealership wants $400 to replace just one sensor. (Check engine light is on now and since I've had this problem occur many times in the past I know exactly what is the root cause.) I've also taken the vehicle to independent mechanics and they really aren't much cheaper. Lowest bid I've gotten to replace each oxygen sensor is $300 for the independents. QUESTION: Is it possible for me to change out the oxygen sensors myself? Can someone tell me if I need to be a trained mechanic , aka, how big a job would this be? I am a fairly handy person and am ready to do it myself to save the $400 bucks the dealer wants to replace each sensor. How do I find the exact position of both the front and rear oxygen sensors? Any information someone can provide me will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Replying to: sallen462 (Jul 04, 2008 3:01 am) I've run into the same exact thing. I don't know how to change the sensors, but I had a conversation with a mechanic because I found I had to repace a few of them in a 3 month period. He asked what kind of gas I was using - I was using regular and he said change to super. Granted gas prices are high, but after I changed to super, I no longer see that service engine light go on (which usually implies a sensor problem.   What kind of gas are you using? If not super, change to it. Granted the cost over the long haul may not make sense, but at $400 a pop for the sensors - that's a lot!

Replying to: sallen462 (Jul 04, 2008 3:01 am) I've changed both of my rear sensors. It's pretty easy, but there is a TSB on this. The early failure of the sensors is caused by moisture in the exhaust. The sensors turn on too soon before the condensation is dried up in the exhaust. The TSB says to replace the sensors & reprogram the ECM. The reprogram delays the sensors turning on. Replies to this message: sallen462 (Jul 23, 2008 1:51 am)
#420 of 450 idle problem by 70ss454_man Jul 17, 2008 (3:41 pm)
i have an 87 pathfinder which now idles very low. when i bought it (2 months ago) i did a full tune up, and it idled smoothly, just like new, didnt even know it was running at idle. exactly at 700rpm in drive. now, starting a week ago, sometimes it will idle perfect, but most of the time it will idle very low, around 400rpm and you can really feel it vibrating through the floor.   before the tuneup it would chug and idle, the plugs were shot, etc.   any ideas why it would do this? vacuum, sensor, something?
