My 2005 Pathfinder with 94,000 miles is failing me right now.
Here are my symptoms:
1. I am getting the cam position sensor (bank 1) code.
2. I have both SLIP and VDC lights on.
3. the pathy starts very reluctantly, cranks for 4-5 seconds before starting, when cold, much longer when hot (sometimes I'm not sure if it will start)
4. It has shut off on me three times while driving, it restarted (reluctantly)
5. it doesn't seem to be shifting the same, it holds higher gears longer, without downshifting. it will eventually downshift, but it takes a lot of throttle input
Here is what has been done to the truck:
1. Tranny cooler bypassed (years ago)
2. New cam position sensors (both), I did these when I first got the code, a week ago.
3. new IPDM (yep brand spanking new)
So my problem is, what now? The cam position sensors, and the IPDM (which i thought was the problem) didn't do anything to change the problem. What else would give false codes? It kinda seems like a fuel issue, so fuel pump? But a fuel pump wouldn't cause a cam sensor code would it? ECM? ouch. how would I test for this?
Any ideas?
