Yeah the roll pin is in the gear, and as far as i can tell its not broken. Bolt in button? I imagine you are talking about the one that secures the rotor on the shaft. But yeah thats in place and not broken. So today i went a little further and completly, i mean completly dissasembled the distributo...

so i removed the upper timing cover and set it to tdc to make sure that the distributor was positioned correctly. all my lines marked up the distributor rotor lined up with the number one cylinder on the distributor cap. i then tried moving the distributor and sure enough it moved, again about 45 de...

Sorry yeah i ment with evrything linned up and at tdc i can move the distributor rotor. Which i didnt think was normal seeing as how it meshes with the cam. It runs but not well, and seems to have a little trouble when first starting up. I have removed the distributor but as far as i can tell it loo...

ok yeah i just saw the procedure to test the valve. i guess you apply pressure to the bottom and then suck from one of the top nipples while the other is plugged. it does test out good as i suck there is no air flowing through the one i am sucking through. yeah, i thought it was weird that it was go...

So i went again today and it failed again. Cleaning out that port made no difference. 695 at idle then after reving it up it went down to 522. I also checked my plugs and they are the platnium ngk bkr6egp.

So i riped the egr off along with that valve that sits on top of it. Found that the egr valve was pretty clean not much of any bu...

So high hc is from running to rich/ incomplete combustion right? So then a leaking fuel line that connects the two fuel rails would not cause high hc right? I also noticed that one of my coolant hoses is some what pinched. Its one of the two L shaped hoses. The ones that connect to the heater core p...

well i checked the cat temp and its at about 350-360 at the front weld, and 360-370 at the rear cat weld. so im guessing its ok. although i believe they were saying on the video that it should be about 100-150 degrees hotter then the front. would the test i performed with the ecm be valid ones for c...

hmm well i have done mode 1 which is checking the o2 sensor i believe. it blinks fine with the five times with in ten seconds. but i think it does take just a little longer from the first blink to the second. however it still blinks the right amount of times in the specific time limit. i also tryed ...

not sure i bought the pathfinder about three months ago with no record of anything. but seeing as how everything else looked i would say its mosty likely
the original one. wouldnt it through a fault for the o2 sensor if it was bad though?
