The Nissan Path

Hello everyone,

I have a 2004 Pathfinder R50 with VQ35DE engine....

This week I noticed a very weird ticking/clicking noise on the left side of the engine... I think is coming from the intake manifold, but not sure to be honest...

The noise is not noticeable unless you pop the hood and if and ...

Hey guys,

I have a 2004 Path with VQ35DE engine... all of a sudden the car started to almost shuf off when you first accelerate... this occurred randomly and no code stored on the ECU...

I checked the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, MAF, TPS etc.. everything seemed to be ok...

Yesterday I tried to ...

Ok so... sad update on this topic...

New cam sensors didn't fix the issue....

So at this point I'm totally out of ideas... nothing seems to solve the issue...

I'm literally willing to pay for solutions!!!! Don't know what else to do

It seems like you are spending a lot of money on an issue that just might not be one... ;)

There's got to be something wrong... how could you explain that during 15 years (86.000 miles) car behaved correctly and all of a sudden, this starts happening? There's got to be something wrong causing ...

Hehe well.. my internal DIY refuses to accept this LOL...

While I wait for the cam sensors to arrive home... do you guys think the VVL solenoids can somehow be the culprit on this case?

Quick Update:

Checked the grounds and even added a ground kit... unfortunately, issue remains the same...

On the other hand with the additional grounds a feel a faster and stronger start and better throttle response...

I also took out the o2 sensors, cleaned them up but made no difference on the ...

Noted on that!!!

It would be helpful to get a scantool look at the fuel trim and MAS input. You could try cleaning the MAS hotwire. Camshaft position sensors can sometimes become faulty and not always throw a code, but I'd hate to see you spend more money replace them and not have it fix the problem. Viewing the ...

Hey guys,

I have a 2004 R50 VQ35DE engine, and I'm having an issue that is driving me totally crazy and I don't know what else to do... issue is: very slight/minor hesitation/misfire at idle...

Conditions of the issue: can happen when the car is cold or hot (doesn't matter), sometimes is more ...

Nevermind.. I found it:

However that diagnose is not working... as the light does come on when I turn the key ON...

r50pathcr

Well, I went to Nico Club's site and looked up the 2004 service manual. Check 7.5A and/or 10A fuses, #18 and/or #24 in the fuse block, first. If those are good, then follow the diagnostic procedure that starts on page AT-218 in the AT section. If the fuses are good and the OD light doesn't come on ...

Hmmmmm interesting... what solenoid would that be?

As title states, the O/D off light on my 2004 Pathfinder panel won't come on, which means I can't deactivate the overdrive..

Reason why I usually deactivate it, is when rolling down or up long hills to avoid using brakes so much or to avoid having the transmission shifting from 3rd to 4th and back ...

Would you please guide me on how to find or where are located the breathers for:

- Front Diff
- Transmission (automatic)

The rear diff is pretty simple and visible, but these 3 (if all 3 exist, cause sometimes the ...

Did this issue come on all of a sudden?

Not sure.. I recently bought the car and noticed it since the very beginning... I initially thought that maybe the spare tire was not properly secured.. but I already checked that as well..

I noticed that I also hear the same noice when passing over a ...
