Hi Scotty I am a Technician at Nissan, the problem is with the Camshaft sensors at bank one and bank two, the oil passes through the connector and shorts them out, eventually you will get the check engine light on for those sensors… When replacing the bank one (right side cam sensor) make sure you remove the Cam and not the Crank sensor because they are close together.

Found a local mechanic who is like Scotty. Tells me the truth and doesn't over-charge me. Had a problem with my transmission. With OBD II device I figured out it didn't need a new transmission. But it still might need a new computer module for around $300 plus labour. My mechanic hooked up his expensive scan tool. Did some tweaking. End result, $65 labour and the thing is fine. A good mechanic is worth his weight in gold.

Loved the granular analysis of the data!

Regular oil changes help the timing chain last a long time. My Xterra with a 4.0 had about 230k miles when I sold it and the timing chain made no noise at all.

I had a 2003 Dodge Neon, and after 40k miles, developed a clank clank clank noise at low speed from the driver's side front wheel. Took it to a chain store mechanic who charged me for a new half shaft and install. Didn't work. Refused to give me a refund. Went to the dealer who charged me a hundred and fifty dollar diagnostic fee. They determined the bushings were shot on the control arms, so the control arms would need to be replaced. Maybe the steering box, too. Minimum $850, up to $1700. Before I committed to anything, my Dad, an electrical and mechanical engineer with thirty years in the job, with a lot of crappy used cars under his belt, insisted I bring it by so he could give me a second opinion. As he was getting the floor jack and jack stands together, I went to loosen the lug nuts. I fell flat on my face, they were so loose. The chain store mechanics who charged me for the half shaft took off the wheel during inspection for some reason, and didn't tighten the lug nuts when putting it back on, and they became looser and looser until the wheel began to clank. Neither the chain store idiots or the dealer who charged cash money for a diagnostic bothered to take off the wheel to take a look before scamming me hard. Take my vehicles to local business who have customers I trust, now. Also do a lot more of my own maintenance and repair.

Hey Scotty I love your videos I watch all of them as soon as you post them, The Nissan stalls vibrate shakes and shuts off when you come to a stop sounds like the Torque converter is staying engaged, keep up the good work I love your personality and the way you explain things, Jack short

It could also be the crank and camshaft position sensors. When they go bad the vehicle will stall and occasionally not start at all. It’s common on these and every other truck and suv that Nissan produced during this time period with the VQ40. I replaced all 3 on mine.

There is a TSB out there regarding Nissans turning off while idling. Apparently, some of the ECMs were replaced believing it was heat that caused an intermittent issue. This did not apply to every Nissan, but some Versas, Altima and Maximas were affected. Some dealerships replaced the ECM under warranty and others performed lesser repairs.

My wife's Expedition had the same problem. I replaced a worn rocker arm on cylinder 8. Works just fine now.

My 2010 Pathfinder (146k) was shutting off whenever I came to a stop. Had the intake manifold cleaned and did the timing relearn. So far so good. I also heard that the cam sensors can be the culprit for the random shut offs.

My 2008 G35 does the same thing, and only when warm. the dealer saw a spike in the exhaust valve timing and said the magnetic timing retarder has gone bad, and it will cost a lot to fix. usually happens when coming to a stop in a parking lot, and only about 1 time every 1-2 months.

My 04 nissan armada 5.6l has been very reliable so i kept it cause it still runs good. My 08 toyota tundra 5.7l is a very good truck very reliable to. Only reason why I haven't bought anything new is cause they run good and haven't had any issues. I'm not to fond of the newer vehicles cause they just don't seem as reliable.

Ford V6 also has this timing chain configuration. The timing chain also drives the water pump, so make sure to always use distilled water.

We have the same truck I did the same thing lol

That idle thing towards it slowing down is kinda normal especially with a worn timing chain tension I have a 06 pathfinder LE and it clatters like crazy at start up but settles after a min or son and it has 168k miles and has had timing chain problems since 90k miles and it really doesn’t affect much other than a vibration when idling after a long time

I had a 2006. Heavy on fuel and every service it needed the fuel sender replaced as the gauge would not read properly. Also had the issue with the squeaky serpentine belt that apparently was unique in Australia. Using the US info I managed to get them to replace the parts.

I've only done basic maintaince to my g35 hr model and it's now past 160k miles. Engine still is just as powerful as it was new lol, wouldn't be surprised if this thing lasted forever

These older, mid-2000's to early-2010's Nissan Pathfinder's are still in great shape with the 4 L V6 engine and the five-speed automatic transmission. They handle a lot better and they are not as boring as the late-2000's Toyota Camry with the four-cylinder.

I had a similar problem with a 2001 V6 Dodge Dakota. My problem turned out to be a questionable battery. The truck would start just fine. The problem would show up intermittently when slowing or stopping for a red light. Mechanics couldn't find anything wrong. I had a 6-year-old, original battery. The problem was solved when I replaced the battery. Who would have thought?

i have a 2006 pathfinder with over 200k while on a trip vehicle stalled very hard to start but did get it running but very rough ( nothing seemed to be working correctly ) got home took it to my local mechanic was diagnosed cam position sensor & replaced both sides. problem solved ran like a dream....

VQ40 engines had a problem with the plastic timing chain guide and they'd need to be replaced with a metal guide. They had recall open for this issue

Alot of nissans I've worked on and infinite's had the same issue. Problem was the throttle body was dirty! The metered amount of air that was needed for idle was clogged. It would run rough or die. Also no codes for it. So clean your throttle body with a rag and some brake clean. Probably will fix it!😎

Respect to your wisdom man.

I had an Altima with that problem, but it still ran great. I know somebody with a Pathfinder that had that problem, and also low oil pressure. Oil pump is part of the timing chain assembly. So is the water pump. Expensive to repair.

How's the trip so far Scotty?

I love Scotty his god’s angel ain’t no body like him his the best ever so honest because he loves the people and his doing this for the people and we all love and appreciate him so much and we going to continue supporting him he his the best love that guy🙏🏾🙌🏾

Sometimes when you hook up scanner to the obd2 it won't shut off at all. It happened to me before. I kept the car for one to drive around to see if it happened while drive. I removed the scanner and started driving after I drove about 20 minutes it started shaking to shut off. When I pushed the gas car shut off but if let off from gas it shakes and picked up from there.

Hey Scotty how was your trip to Rhode Island?

I have the same 4.0 L and 5 Spd on my 2019 Nissan NV1500. Currently praying after watching this video, so I don't have to go through the same issues🙏🏼

You won't. They had perfected this engine by around 2010 to 11. Change the oil every 5 to 6k with full syn and clean the intake system with seafoam (the spray can type) every 50k or so. That engine will run forever. I have a 4.0 in my Frontier with 220k on it. They are a solid engine if maintained.

Just a heads up, those pathfinders had a defect in the radiator where it would crack and allow radiator coolant to contaminate the transmission fluid. Once the transmission was contaminated the car would shake a lot. The car would still be drivable for a while until the transmission completely fails. Until then the car will feel like it wants to stall at times, and you will notice abnormal shaking. Check your radiator and transmission fluid for signs of contamination. I think it was only certain years that were affected, so you would have to check google to see if the one you have might have the defective radiator.

Not a defect just a horrible design to separate the coolant and tranny oil in the radiator by a gasket first thing I did was plug the trans cooler in the radiator and install a remote trans cooler it will wreck your tranny if that gasket goes

Actually you do have to worry about a flood. I bought a brand new car from a dealer and found out it was flooded and they cleaned it up and sold it to me and didn't tell me. If the damage is under 10% of the value of the car they don't have to disclose it

From experience, this can lead to much more problems than you initially started with. I had to get a mechanic to use their scanner to reset. Tried a million times to do a relearn on my own with zero success.

I am a mechanic. For over 20 years. Overtime debris builds up around the throttle plates and allows less air to flow through when the plates are cracked open. The computer learns overtime to compensate for the build up. Ideally use a product like BG and inject it into the throttle plates and also cleans the intake runners. Now that all the junk is cleaned out the computer can relearn the way it was originally. I do use a scan tool for this

This is why Scotty is a professional mechanic and I'm a driveway mechanic. I would have first suspected the fuel pump was on its way out.
