#2623 of 2670 05 pathfinder fuel gauge problem by spiker3 Jun 04, 2009 (2:24 pm)
My fuel gauge on my 05 PF is real slow to respond. It read half full, I stopped and filled the tank all the way up, then when I started the vehicle and drove off it read empty the little yellow light on the gauge was on and the DTE on the odometer was flashing and the check engine soon light was on. After driving for a while the gas gauge slowly started to move up off of empty and the low fuel light on the gas gauge went off . The gas gauge has done this the last couple of fill ups. Does anyone know what causes this? PF has 83k miles and 20 gallon tank, 2WD, AT, 4.0L V6. I have the extended warranty. Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated.
#2624 of 2670 Warranty on used car (Nissan) by jdpathfinder Jun 09, 2009 (3:21 pm)
Could anyone recommend a warranty I could purchase for my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder (under 25k miles). Should I look into the Nissan Security-plus warranty?   Any others?   Thank you, John
#2625 of 2670 97 Pathfinder Sticky Throttle by gsemike Jun 16, 2009 (10:10 am)
Hi everyone. I've got a 97 Pathfinder XE with 85k on it. Just recently, I've noticed an issue with the throttle feeling sticky, but only when the car is warmed up. It's nothing too bad. It resists just a little bit when I first depress the pedal to pull away from a light. With a little bit of pressure, it gets off the bottom and then it's just a little jackrabbit start.   Besides that, it feels completely normal. I've WD-40ed it up but didn't see much of a difference. Has anyone else encountered this? Replies to this message: ail84p (Jul 08, 2009 1:31 am) gsemike (Jul 25, 2009 4:03 pm)

easy fix. the butterfly is sticking in the throttle body. just spray some carb cleaner or even brush some gas around inside throttle body and wipe clean. Replies to this message: gsemike (Jun 19, 2009 12:39 pm) jeffro8 (Jun 20, 2009 8:16 pm)

Replying to: ail84p (Jun 16, 2009 3:33 pm) Thanks but what does it look like? I WD-40ed the contraption that the throttle cable goes to that pivots back and forth when I press the gas. Is there something else I should be looking for? Replies to this message: jeffro8 (Jun 20, 2009 8:16 pm)
#2628 of 2670 Overheating by jeffro8 Jun 20, 2009 (8:13 pm)
I have a 1997 PF with just over 100,000. Every now and then the thing overheats but only while running the AC. Once I see the gauge on the rise, I turn off the AC, switch over to heat and run the heat on full blast....the gauge comes down to normal. This doesn't happen consistently. Any thoughts?

Replying to: gsemike (Jun 19, 2009 12:39 pm) I've got the very same problem with my 97 PF. WD-40 hasn't helped, so I anxious to hear the fix to this problem.

Replying to: gsemike (Jun 16, 2009 10:10 am) remove the ducting from the air cleaner to the throttle body. You will see the butterfly and if you pull the throttle cable you will see that the butterfly will open. Even though it looks clean, use some carb. cleaner spray and a brush and clean and wipe dry. If you don't want the expense of carb. cleaner spray, use gas and a small brush. Replies to this message: gsemike (Jul 25, 2009 4:03 pm)
#2631 of 2670 2001 Pathfinder Instrument Panel Lights Failure by pathfinder135k Jul 18, 2009 (8:34 am)
Hello, I’ve been looking for an answer to this problem for over a year. From the various posts across the internet, I see that this is not uncommon, but have never seen an actual answer to resolve the problem…. The ISSUE, the dash/instrument panel lights will intermittently turn off on one side of the dash or the other, or both (Tach, etc. OR Speed, etc., or both), other lights in the car are unaffected. They will resume functioning in an arbitrary manner, with no repair. Turning lights ON or OFF, turning the car ON or OFF, hitting bumps, temperature, duration of drive time, weather, or towing a trailer seem to be unrelated - having no effect on precipitating or resolving the light failure. Lights may remain OFF for seconds, or minutes, or days at a time (making night-time driving problematic when the speedometer is out.) The instruments themselves work fine, the only problem is the lighting. ANYBODY have a clue ??? Thanks.

Replying to: ail84p (Jul 08, 2009 1:31 am) It did the trick. It looked clean but when I sprayed in the cleaner, a lot of black stuff came out and so far, it's fixed the problem. THANKS!
