#1 of 29 1994 Pathfinder Troubleshoot by soynuts Feb 05, 2007 (9:58 pm)
I have two questions:   My first regards installing a K&N air filter to get better gas milage. After installing, I disconnected the negative side of my battery to reboot my computer, but didn't notice any difference in performance. I repeated the process and left the battery disconnected for a few hours and still no change. Any tips??   Second, I recently sprayed out my engine bay at a local car wash. Now my pathfinder is hesitant when I push on the gas. It seems to react a little better at higher RPM's. I checked to make sure my spark plugs were all connected properly, and checked my distibuter cap to make sure there wasn't any water traped... I also ran some SeaFoam in my last tank of gas and a little with my enging oil... Any help?

Replying to: soynuts (Feb 05, 2007 9:58 pm) Did you think the K&N would increase milage or performance? They only marginally help and usually only in high-hp/high performance situations coupled with other mods would they be noticeable.   As for the washing, you probably loosened something or got water somewhere, check your vaccum lines for leaks or disconnects.   -mike Replies to this message: soynuts (Feb 05, 2007 11:53 pm) paisan (Feb 06, 2007 1:44 am) soynuts (Feb 06, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Feb 05, 2007 10:07 pm) I have read a few different posts that have said installing a K&N in a pathfinder will increase from about 15mpg to 19? If this isn't the case, what would you say the advantage to haveing a K&N air filter is?   Also, I was planning on replacing my spark plugs. Would this help the sputtering acceleration if my current plugs are dirty or malfunctioning? Replies to this message: paisan (Feb 06, 2007 1:44 am) soynuts (Feb 06, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: soynuts (Feb 05, 2007 11:53 pm) 15->19 not happening.   15->16 maybe.   Advantages of the K&N will be better throttle response, more power, also if you increase your exhaust size the higher flow of the air filter will help it as well.   Better for the environment since you re-use it for the life of the car, rather than throwing it away ever 15k miles.   As for spark plugs, can't hurt to replace em on a 94 Pathy.   -mike Replies to this message: soynuts (Feb 06, 2007 1:04 pm)

#6 of 29 2005 Pathfinder MP3 Player by opiedog Feb 15, 2007 (3:34 pm)
I hate to sound so stupid, but how does the MP3 player in my 2005 Pathfinder Off Road package work. I have burned my own CD's and they can't be read by the player. What can the player read? What am I doing wrong? Replies to this message: paisan (Feb 15, 2007 5:02 pm) opiedog (Feb 23, 2007 2:53 pm) paisan (Feb 23, 2007 10:23 pm)

Replying to: opiedog (Feb 15, 2007 3:34 pm) You need to "close" the burned CDs in order for the MP3 player to read it. Also check your manual (I don't have the MP3 player in mine) it may need to have the files in a certain name format like it can't be more than XXX characters long. Let us know if you get it working as I'm sure someone else on here will want to read it.   -mike Replies to this message: opiedog (Feb 23, 2007 2:53 pm) paisan (Feb 23, 2007 10:23 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Feb 15, 2007 5:02 pm) Thanks for the reply. I'm traveling on business and have not been able to try your suggestions. Even so, I'm confused by what you mean by close the burned CD. Replies to this message: paisan (Feb 23, 2007 10:23 pm)

Replying to: opiedog (Feb 23, 2007 2:53 pm) When you burn a CD on your computer you have the option of leaving it open so you can put more stuff on the CD, in that case only CD Rom drives that are also burners can read the CD. If you configure your burning software to "close" the cd then non-burner CD Roms (such as the one in your pathy) will be able to read it.   -mike
#10 of 29 2001Nissan Pathfinder Horn Problem Please Help by ppc2674 Apr 03, 2007 (10:31 pm)
have a 2001 SE V6 Pathfinder. The horn, cruise control, and the volume for the stereo on the steering wheel is not working. I have checked all fuses, the relay, and both horns and they are good. While testing the #1 or the #2 position on the horn relay directly to the ground, the relay energized and the horn blew constantly. If there is anyone out there who has had this problem and can give me feedback, please comment. Thanks, J.P.
