Exhaust/Cat Removal Questions & Gaskets

I have a 2008 Pathfinder with 140k miles. Last month a CEL turned on and I took it to Autozone and they said a catalytic converter failed. I also noticed a loud rattling coming from the exhaust. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was the driver side front cat that failed. Apparently when it fai...

We had the passenger rear cat replaced 2 months ago. Its still under warranty so I took it to the shop that did the work. They said the P0430 code means the driver front cat is bad. They said that if the driver rear cat was bad it would not throw a CEL. They said the rattling noise is coming from fu...

Also, about a month ago I had an issue with a blown fuse that made the car tun over but not start. I turned the car over a lot trying to trouble shoot it. Then about a week after that I had a misfire in a cylinder. I drove the truck for awhile like that and found the issue was a bad coil, which I re...

Thanks for the reply! When you say "replace the incident upstream" rather than use the spacer, do you mean replace the catalytic converter? I took a rubber hammer to the exhaust and all the heat shields seem to be secure, nothing moved around or made the noise I hear when the truck is on. ...

P0430 Catalytic Converter Question

Hey all! I have a 2008 Pathfinder with 140k miles on it. I have a CEL which is throwing code P0430 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2). I also have a rattling under the truck, which I think is coming from the exhaust system. It sounds like a bearing bouncing around in the exhaust. Be...

FIXED: Turned out I blew the EGI fuse (20AMP under hood). Not sure why that fuse turned on the Immobilizer light/system. Hopefully this can help someone in the future! Thank you for the replies and help!

Thanks for the reply! I have done that procedure about 20 times with both keys. I've also disconnected the battery all of last night. I called the dealership they won't offer any help besides "Get it towed here and we'll charge you to look at it".

Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System

A few hours ago I made a post about my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder not starting. I was trying to figure it out when I noticed a red light flashing. Its in the shape of a car and has a key in the middle of it. The light flashes when the key is removed, in the "Locked" position, and in the "...
