I know in previous project cars, I'd use some window flashing from Lowes/Home Depot that reduced the sound a bit. Before anyone asks, no, never got the tar smell when it got hot (100F+/37C+). havent found the pathfinder too noisy, but i can +1 the method above as viable. I've done this on two conve...

for what it's worth, my brother had a 2011 PF with the same kind of trans fluid/coolant mixing from a problem in the lower portion of his original radiator (per the mechanic tearing it apart). That seems like the exception, but 2010+ aren't entirely immune. given that mine was already near 100k mile...

perhaps this seems like an obvious question -- one would think it measures how much fuel it uses and how many miles it travels, and divides. but i guess what i'm asking is which sensors does it use to get these inputs? when i bought my 07 used, it had slightly larger than original tires and the spee...

I've been using it and found it works well. I have not used the specific plugin. I guess the tips would be specific to what you're trying to figure out with it. One thing i would be interested in though, if your car is running normally, is what the AF / oxygen sensor voltages read in torque. you can...

Are you sure that your issues aren't related to a loose negative battery clamp? agree with this, especially since the MPG and other settings are being lost. it may not just be radio-related. also, you could try ebay for a used unit for a couple hundred at most just to make sure that's really the pr...

fwiw, my brother just traded in a 2011 PF after having the coolant contamination problem. maybe that was just a fluke, though, i hadn't heard of too many that new having the issue.

i got an ELM327 off amazon (bluetooth), and it works fine with the pathfinder and had also worked on my GM, honda, and jeeps. i use the torque app on android. the other cheap OBD2 adapters should also work ok... amazon prime is usually going to get it to you faster than ebay. and you could take it t...

agree with the vote against gorilla glue... this is not the right application for it, and i'd suspect it'd fail within a year or two esp if you have cold winters. i don't know enough about that tape, but i'd also think about some fast-set construction adhesive rated for windows/doors (i.e., for bein...

my 2007 did this when i first bought it (used). after reading numerous sites about different adjustments, i tried the simplest one first and it worked for the last year and a half. just open the hood, and give it a twist in the opposite direction of how the bar holds it up when it's open. (pull down...

............looks to be time to buy a code reader. :o Like most, I don't want to spend more than I need to for one, but want one of decent quality and performance. Any suggestions for me? if you have a smartphone, get an ELM327 or equivalent bluetooth or wifi OBD-2 module from amazon (about $15-20)...

Having just changed mine on an 07 pathfinder with 105k, it had a little stickiness but still worked. And seemed better than the one in my LS1 after 20k. The Nissan engine doesn't have the "feature" GM v8s can where its on a downhill side of a hose, and all sorts of crud collect in it.

I've also been getting about 11-12 mpg around town (US gallons) for the past month or two. tried running w/o the a/c, there was some improvement, but over the winter with the same driving routes and the winter blend gas i was 14-15. (on the highway i'm still getting 20-21 with the a/c on full time, ...

fwiw, i'm not doubting your cat is bad, but i had this same code thrown because of the gasket leaking in the same area, so that may be worth checking as well.

realize this is an old thread, but i found it helpful changing my PCV yesterday. Wanted to add that after getting the hose off, i can confirm it's possible to get it out with just the socket (and no wrench). i didn't have a 23, but had a 15/16, which is like 23.8. wrapped a small layer of tape aroun...
