new 95 pathy owner needs a little help
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:11 am
So I bought a 95 pathfinder SE v6 4wd with 175k on the clock. The engine runs absolutely great, nice and quiet. I was suprised. However I wish I would have got it faster than 45 on the test drive. Because when you get it on the freeway, from the passenger side it seems, there is a dangerous vibration. A huge shimmy that shakes the entire vehicle. So i was wondering if there are common suspension problems with these trucks?
Couple other issues: SES lite is on, havent had it checked, not sure how I can with it being obd1, but the previous owner said it was an oxygen sensor. And the oil smells like gas.....
It sounds like air is coming in behind the dash. Probably the center close to the top... Anyone had this problem?
Do these have timing chains or belts?
One more thing... sometimes it shifts roughly from 1-2nd gear. but smoothly after that... solenoids maybe? I am going to take the wheel off today, do a closer inspection and post what I find. Till then, any advice is appreciated.
