Nothing, really? Man getting the key would cost more than the car is worth. I take it these keys are more than just a resistor then.

Transponder key lost. Is there a bypass option?

I have a 99 and somehow the key got lost. The car is wrecked, so I just want to drive it to the boneyard. Is there a way to bypass the ignition immobilizer without a ton of work or rewiring?

I think the clock is keeping time. The power locks should work even with the key off, unless the ignition is a flow through. But I will give a look.

99.5 With strange chassis elec stuff going on.

My PF instantly started the following: All dome lights are out, The doors will not lock without the keys on, and trip meter resets every cycle. This happened right after I changed my distributor, assumed bad/undone connector, checked all over. There has to be a common issure here (I hope), but I'm n...

The axles I bought came with instructions. But I am sure some searching may find you something. Its actually pretty easy. A lttile bit of finagling to get them in, but not terrible. Did both of mine in about 4-5 hours.

Body part interchange options for QX4 and Pathy

I am wondering if the bumper covers (especially front) from a QX4 could be put on a Pathfinder without too much engineering. My local Junkyard always seems to get 10 Q's for every PF.

On the road again

I just wanted to pass along the news that the issue was the Distributor for sure. I think the reason I did not catch it sooner was that it was making noise for a very long time before giving out. So there you have it. I wish to thank everyone for their thoughts and ideas. Now on to the next posting!

I was concerned I'd have to bring the #1 piston up and all that stuff. This I can handle! I wanted to ask about the ones on ebay. The cheapest I found was one at Oreillys for 250. Everything else 400+. If anyone has success with a particular vendor on ebay, please let me know.

So far I replaced the 02 sensor, cleaned my MAF, and changed the fuel filter. situation keeps getting worse. NO codes being thrown. I don't know if its lack of power, but acting like cat(s) could be clogged. I guess I am moving beyond self diagnosis quickly. This poor thing is running like crap.

02 sensor not the issue. But the SES light did go away. Car ran great til it warmed up then went back to shuttering. Being warm definitely makes this worse. Anyway, I'm not ruling out firing issue(s) but think it would be more like distributor or timing belt. Pulled Dist cap off, did not seem to be ...

I did use NGK. And matching ignition parts. Not to say I couldn't have gotten a lemon. The car is throwing an 02 sensor code. Is it possible a bad 02 sensor can affect the firing this much?Just never saw this on previous cars. On that note, is Bank 1 drivers or pass side? getting conflicting info. I...

Random misfire issue Fuel? Ignition?

Did a tune up on my 99, ran awesome for few days. All the sudden, its lunging down the road. Scam didn't give me much to go on. My gut tells me fuel issue. Althoug a bad 02 sensor came up. But I've never had 02 cause a misfire of this caliber. This thing is right at 170k, I'd think if I got bad plug...
