I did not check the fuel pressure but I did take the dealerships word for it when I had it in there. They Checked it and gave the thumbs-up. Turns out, it was a faulty/failing fuel pump. Pump cost $18 off of RockAuto so I wasn’t going to be out much. Everything was good till I couldn’t get the s...

Thinking maybe it’s the fuel pump

So, after over a year now...after replacing the exhaust, a cat, intake plenum gaskets, thermostat, vacuum lines, VVT solenoids, cam position sensor, both Evap solenoids, gas cap, and the fuel filter......think the issue is a weak and failing fuel pump. Ordered a new one so I will see how that goes. ...

No need for apologies. You guys helped me eliminate many possible culprits. Update: After the instal, there was a noticeable change in the power but the issue still remains. Under full throttle, there is still hesitation. I will hook the OBD reader up again and see what the temp is reading now. Like...

Update!!!

Well it took me long enough. After taking my pathy to the stealership, they couldn’t find out the issue regarding power loss under full throttle conditions. They were not helpful what so ever but the had no issue letting me pay them. SO...I have a friend with a nice Snap-on OBD reader that was abl...

Looked at the MAF and it’s very clean. Pulled the fuel pump and the screen was clean and tank was spotless. I will do a fuel pressure test one of these days. I still average about 16mpg (mostly city driving) even with a O2 code so I reckon I’m in alright shape.

The K&N came after. This thing has had a power issue since I bought it. The issue has not worsened. The only time there was an improvement was when the fuel filter was replaced. I’m going to pull the fuel pump this weekend and check out the tank and screen. I’ll be sure to smoke a cigarette ...

I’ll give that a go as well. The battery connections are good although I tend to clean the negative terminal quite a bit. It corrodes. A lot. The Interweb is telling me that’s an indicator of an undercharging system. Checked that and was producing around 14.1v so I’m thinkin the battery might ...

Spark plugs and valve cover gaskets were changed about 1500 miles ago. Problem still persists. I do have a K&N air filter which I put in after the plug and gasket change. I will give the MAF a good cleaning and test fuel pressure and see what she’s doing. Thanks for the Info gents!! I will kee...

This is just my opinion, but if you weld it, I would scab it. Might hold up better than just welding it where it broke. I’ve never driven without a sway bar but I can assume you’ll have more body roll in the turns so take them slow. Don’t know about the rear set up.

Good luck!

Power issue

Howdy all! Here to pick some brains. I have a 2004 Pathfinder 4wd 3.5 V6 with some power issues. Under full throttle conditions the acceleration is slow and seems to hesitate. If I back off to around 50% throttle, it picks up much better. Also, after driving and shutting the vehicle off, When I star...
