My neighbor just gave me his 1990 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4. Tags are out of date, check engine light on, won't pass smog, and it has mice in it. But I really like it.
Took it to a mechanic to try and figure out what was wrong with it. The mechanic told me that cylinder #2 had a bad fuel injector and also that two of the hard to reach spark plugs had not been replaced. They quoted me $800 and I walked away.
I've decided to do the fuel injector myself since I have a mediocre amount of mechanical skill. I've read the Chilton manual on how to take it apart, but I noticed a lack of mention of parts that I will need. I would like to gather all the parts required before starting, so I was hoping you guys could help me out on that.
So when changing the fuel injector what does the parts list look like?
Gaskets?
Special grease/oil?
Rubber hoses?
Special tools?
So far I've only bought the fuel injector and the spark plugs. I'm hoping the fuel injector comes with the o-ring for itself. Also I'm not even sure what intake manifold gaskets I may need, just the uppers or the upper and lower? Too many parts, Not enough knowledge.
