Yeah, we may have cleaner air here but to whose expense: Not really. Cali as a whole still has some of the the worst air quality in the US. Imagine if they didn't have the rules!? Hopefully it makes a difference because YOU pay for it! Can you find Cats at junk yards? I would think anything up thro...

what about just using o2 sensor spacers to stop those codes from coming on I did that. Those are the "non-foulers" I refer to. It worked as the CEL did not come back but the tech said those were not legal and failed me on the the visual. He actually got under the car to see! The Path agai...

Catalytic Conv Crapo!

Who in San Diego can let me borrow/rent me their 2005 Path cats for a smog test? It cost over 1240.00 to replace both just for parts. My Path passes the sniff test (barely) but the check engine light comes on for cat inefficiency. If I reset the light, it comes back within 20 miles of driving it. Wh...

Another victim of this. Cost was 1900.00 to get Transmission rebuilt. The mechanic also did the bypass mod discussed here. I wasn't the first Pathy he had done, he said. SUCKS!!!!

Update on my Path: I found a mechanic willing to do payments. The cost was 1900.00. He first confirmed the coolant in the oil. He mentioned that he gets a few of these a month. Not just Nissans, but that he has done a few Paths before as well. Anyways, he rebuilt the tranny and replaced the converte...

Yes, also ask them to check the IPDM/ER. The IPDM/ER controls alot of the electrical stuff. it has relays and fuses aswell as some type of controller.

Update: Did a flush on the tranny using cheap oil from first (if you call 3.44 a quart cheap). I bought 6. Anyways, I went to the dealer and bought 6 quarts of the Matic-S (70.00 bucks!). Did the tranny flush as well as the cooler bypass and unfortunately it's a no go. Initially it sort of worked. D...

OMG, Tranny Failed! Why????!!! 2005 (Oil + Coolant)

This can't be happening now. After dealing with the IPDM and fixing it on my own the tranny decides to give way (does not go into gear). I come here and find the tranny oil + coolant issue thread and sure enough I check the level stick and find a milk shake sludge on it. What can I do? I can in no w...

I replaced my 2005 Pathfinder's bad IPDM with the same year's Titan IPDM.

It's been about three months and no problems at all. It is also like 60 bucks cheaper.

I am at ~ 96K and my check engine light came on. My ODBII reader gave me the same code. P0430 is the code for a bad catalytic converter. I cleared the code but it came back a few days later. I will start by replacing the 02 sensors after the cats. Cats are not cheap, and I think it's a dealer only p...
