#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.

2001 pathfinder my mechanic says that the nose that i hear is coming from the egr motor. the engine light comes on occasionally and i loose a few miles per gallon. i called the dealer they want to do diognotic test for $95. the engine doesn't stall while driving. if it is egr motor $140 they will replace and the control value $55 and clean out the metal tube that may have carbon in it they say it is a 5 hour job. it all seems a bit high is it the said parts and can i do it myself?
#12 of 29 87 Pathfinder sat 3 yrs wont start....help please =( by 87pathy Nov 11, 2007 (2:23 pm)
I have a 87 Nissan Pathfinder V-6 It was driven up till the exhaust went and I parked it 3 yrs ago... I really want to get this thing back to life but I cannot get it to start now. Here is what I have done so far.   - Drained the old bad gas out really really yellow stuff   - Drained the lines   - Found the new Gas I added smelled more like bad gas the fresh stuff redrained it again.   - re drained the lines   - I cleaned the plugs they still look new as I put then in just before I put it away...   - The Fuel pump is working-----   - Truck fires up when gas is added through the carb---but wont run on its own.   - Took the carb/throttle body off cleaned it still nothing   - Added a bit of oil to the cylinders   Anyone having any suggestions feel free to help me out.... This Pathfinder was good to me so I would really like it back =) Thanks Replies to this message: don227 (Nov 18, 2007 8:36 am)

Replying to: 87pathy (Nov 11, 2007 2:23 pm) Hello, I have the same truck. You said you drained the lines but did you change the gas filter? It would be clogged if you had bad gas.
#14 of 29 92 pathfinder se wont start Saturday by rmalinoski Nov 25, 2007 (8:15 am)
My 92 pathfinder decided not to start Saturday. Recently several diag/dash lights have lit up including the Anti-lock, Brake, Alt lights. My wife claims recently it sounded as if it struggled to start a few times on first start in the morning. We credited that to it being cold now that the temp has dropped a good 30-40 degrees in the past few weeks. However last night after driving it to and from the home depot we parked the truck in front of the house and proceeded to unload our bags. After sitting for only like 10 minutes we got in the truck to find it would not start. It is definatley trying to start as the dash/diagnostic lights come on and get bright and fade get bright and fade and you can hear it trying to start. We eventually got a jump start and parked the truck. This morning however ...the same thing....any pointers? I am mechanically and electrically proficient as i am an army vet with an MOS in electrical repair and i currently fix commercial food equipment. I have always been hesitant to work on my cars though...but now it seems I have no choice. Please help.   RM

#17 of 29 88 Pathfinder sometimes won't start by codyt Dec 15, 2007 (1:22 pm)
My 88 V6 pathfinder 4x4 has been driven regularly, recently it has had the problem of not starting especially when it is warm. Cold it will usually fire right up but after warming, if you cut the engine it won't start back. The engine turns but it won't start, it seems to be getting fire and gas. Sometimes it runs perfectly and then out of nowhere it will begin acting up, smoking and lugging and it acts like it wants to die. The shop replaced the rotor and distributor and also added gas treatment and injection cleaner but the problem is continuing. Any ideas would be appreciated.
#18 of 29 87 pathfinder starting problems by jamisonn Dec 23, 2008 (8:25 am)
Recently purchased 87 pathfinder for 16 year olds first car. Changed plugs ,cap&rotor, fuel filter, battery, air filters, oil &oil filter. It takes a while to start but when started it runs pretty good but there seems to be lack of power. Every time I try tostart it ,it runs a couple seconds longer each time the key is turned so it takes about 12 times to get it running. Injectors are working fine do you think the fuelpump needs replaced?
