#10 of 61 No starter noise upon starting by theb81 Dec 20, 2007 (9:55 pm)
Replying to: don227 (Nov 18, 2007 8:25 am) I have a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder and up till a few days ago everything was fine. A few days ago I triedstarting the Pathfinder and got a really slow errg noise like starter tried to engage but didn't kinda like battery was dead. So I took starter and battery out and had it tested the two turned out fine. Still no success. I called the alarm company to have the alarm taken out to see if the problem was there not allowing it to have power to start. No success. Being told there is another alarm a factory alarm that needs to be disabled. So my question is: Is it possible to disable the alarm or remove it yourself. Is this the problem to to power to starter? Even tried jump starting.no good. Radio and all acc.... Works great.
#11 of 61 1997 Pathfinder: Hard to start by jearago Dec 28, 2007 (10:07 am)
I have a '97 Pathfinder w/148k miles that's suddenly hard to start. The engine always initially fires when starting, but then dies and is really hard to start. When it finally starts (20+ turns) the engine barely runs with almost no response to throttle. If I can keep it running for 30 seconds, it will rev spewing some smoke, then idle and run fine. It will also start right up again no problem. After it sits for 6+ hours same routine. It started out only occasionally (assumed bad gas/water), but now it's everytime. I've changed the plugs, air filter, added gas/injector treatment and running premium fuel w/no change. I'm guessing fuel pump, filter? But what about fuel sensors? Is there an injector pump? When I first turn the key I can hear the pump run and then stop after a few seconds. Would appreciate some recommendations.

#12 of 61 98 Pathfinder Starting Issue by billazera Jan 02, 2008 (9:54 am)
I have a 98 pathfinder. About 4 monthes ago, I have problem starting after rainning day. But after it dry for a day or half day if it's windy, I can start again without doing anything. Also, anytime I start after parking there for more than a day, it start with some squeaking sound, then it went away. Maybe it's a old car.   Anyone can give me some clue?   Thank you Replies to this message: badams1997 (Nov 29, 2009 3:00 pm)
#14 of 61 pathfinder electrical by farnamd Jan 13, 2008 (3:59 pm)
My 97 pathfinder, by mistake I cut four wires under the hood of the batch of wires in front the radiotor, One blue/white, two blue /blacks and one white / purple. I got them fix. Now the car cranks fine but does not start, I checked the fuel pump and put in some Napa product fuses and relays and still got no luck. I have run out of things to check. Can anybody help me out.

Replying to: farnamd (Jan 13, 2008 3:59 pm) hello you will have to make sure your two black wires are not crossed to do this you will need a repair manual . some black wires are just grounds, but some grounds need to be in there proper circuits or the e.c.m. wont know what its reading.

#17 of 61 1999 1/2 pathfinder won't start by regina75 Jan 30, 2008 (12:39 pm)
We started having a problem a few months ago. We replaced the battery. Then we replaced the alternator. After, still no start in the morning. Its fine if its just a couple of hours. However, leave it overnight and no start in the morning. Attach to the charger and it turns right over. Mechanic checked everything including fuses and doesn't have an answer for us. Help. thanks.

#19 of 61 Cold Start by myradself Mar 01, 2008 (6:53 am)
If you live in a cold climate where the temps dip below 32 degrees, you should install an engine block heater. Also, try changing your oil to a less viscous grade. A 20/50 would be good, but check with a locale auto parts store for a definite recommendation. Replies to this message: steve_ (Mar 01, 2008 9:58 am) tootsie2 (Mar 01, 2008 4:31 pm)
