Help! Broke down in Ohio!
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2015 7:59 am
I have a 99 pathfinder
Was driving from Upper Peninsula Mi to Catskill Mtns of NY.
Noticed idle was rough, then felt like miss.
500 miles into trip just lost power and died.
Had towed to father-n-laws by Toledo.
This is what I did
Checked spark out of cap w/ spark tester
Got spark all cylinders. Did not seem super strong, not sure what it should be.
Distributor was replaced not long ago by previous owner.
Broke fuel line free by manifold and fuel sprayed out.
Can hear pump come on and sounds like fuel spraying in tank?
Cranked engine w/ pedal to floor and spray start fluid in air box.
nothing
Any advice would be great.
I am stuck and broke. Need to feed my kids.
Thanks for reading
