So I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to post this, but when I tried to post in the general 2005 Pathfinder forum, it stated that only moderators were allowed to post...
So...tonight I was trying to drive home. I started the car and made it about 100 yards or so before the Service Engine Soon light started flickering and everything started to die. The power steering died...everything...
I tried several times to get the car to start, but for quite a while it wouldn't. It seemed to be trying to start. The battery is fairly new (a couple months old), plenty of gas, but it just wouldn't get going. Finally it started up for some reason, and I waited with it idling for a friend to show up and follow me. At this point the service engine soon light wasn't on. I drove about 5 or so miles with the service engine light off and the car driving fine, then the light started flickering and the car started to die. I tried some more to get the car to start, but again it just couldn't quite get going. Occasionally it would seem to start up for a second, but almost immediately it would die. Any thoughts as to what might be wrong? It's a 2005 with about 137,000 miles. Maybe spark plugs? Fuel pump?
