    My wife has a 2004 Pathfinder and she got a p0455 code (evap gross leak, large evap leak). Took to the dealer, they changed charcoal canister, vent valve, purge valve. Then p0455 code went away, then we got p1456 code (small evap leak). Dealer then changed gas cap, still got p1456 code. Took back to dealer after 1 month, they charged $185 diagnostic fee, said it was stuck vent valve. I bought new vent valve and installed, still got p1456 code. On my work day off, I got under car, removed canister (I tested it, good). I noticed rubber hose coming from gas tank to canister was stretchy, so I bought new fuel hose. Also I bought new clamps (ones where you use screwdriver to tighten). Installed the new fuel hose (that connects to the canister), 3 new clamps for the 3 hoses that attach to the canister (vent, purge and fuel). Bingo!!! No more codes pop up (no more CEL check engine light). No more evap leaks. Hope this helps somebody.

    While you're already replacing the timing belt, it's a no-brainer to tackle the water pump, cam & crank seals as well. FYI, if the water pump fails, the timing belt has to be removed to allow the water pump to be removed. I was able to get a complete water pump, timing belt & tensioner as a complete kit for abt $100. Not a bad deal for the peace of mind while you've already done all the rest of the work. Blessings to All and God Bless the USA🙏🙏🙏

    A common problem also in the later models with the 3.5 VQ35DE V6 engines is the oil cooler o-rings. They will wear and and cause an oil leak. Very common but an easy fix with new o-rings. Kind of a pain to get them out but not too bad if you have the right tools and you do it when you're changing your oil any way.

Yeah the paint is bad but had the seats redone about 5 years ago. About time to do it again. Would paint it but why? Think it’s time to change those rear end parts. Hope I can do it myself. Changed the power steering pump today squeal gone! Love my pathfinder.

    Throttle Position Sensor. I just recently came across this issue. 2000 QX4 3.3 200K miles. Ran and shifted perfect. Went into the grocery store, came out and the TRANSMISSON WOULD NOT SHIFT into second gear under soft or hard throttle until RPMs reached 4,000. It would not shift into any other gear. Overdrive light was blinking 16 times then turning off. I pulled Engine and Transmission codes and found them reporting a TPS code. REPLACED THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR with NEW HITACHI part, recalibrated it and it now shifts Perfect. Also seem to idle smoother too.

    Excellent video. I have 3 Nissan Pathfinders and I am very blessed that I have not had many issues. I have an '01 with the standard transmission and the California Environmental System. I actually used to have 2 01's but I gave one to a kid in need of a vehicle for college. That one was an LE. My SE is still here and going strong. Up until now, the only issues that I have had were a mass airflow sensor, a new clutch, and maybe 2 Alternators. I'm glad I found your site because I was really getting frustrated with my Rear End wobbling. I would be driving and it is darn scary because it feels like you are on the brink of losing control. NOW I KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. THANK YOU!!!. I'm actually changing out my starter today. What a pain. Also, do you have any guidance on Cruise Control issues for this model? It's a 01, SE, with 3.5, standard transmission. I honestly think that it's something I may have done when replacing the Clutch. Then, there is one more problem. My lights flash as if the anti theft is activated. It's really weird. It does it for about 10 seconds or so then stops. Any idea what that could be? As for my 2006 and 2014, my 06 I found for really cheap but it slung a rod through the block so I have to replace that engine. The 14 has been a dream. Just like my 01.

    Did my trailing arms earlier this year. Its bloody scary when theyre worn out. Also: Radiator core too thin. Rocker cover gaskets leak and WILL kill your starter motor. Apparently theyre a pain to get right - i was LUCKY my mechanic tightened mine down and presto no more torque convertor lock up on mine has gone on holiday too, unless i do something like 90kms - then it suddenly gets interested in working again. Weird. They can do a head gasket too.

    Have a 2002 Pathfinder with the 1st two issues non issues with this newer model. Haven't had a fuel system problem but definitely needed to replace rear trailing arms. Have had more electrical issues with this vehicle but it does have 215K and was extremely reliable for those first 200K. There is a relay near battery that cuts out starter if shift is not in correct position - this sticks and causes starting issues. I've had numerous battery terminal (positive) issues. Injectors leak a little on this high-compression motor so sometimes a slight hydro-lock makes it difficult to start - although I should be happy that the compression is still very high at this mileage. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND changing out the auto locking front hubs for switchable ones. This vehicle never got above 17 mpg in any condition and now that I can unlock the front hubs, I can get 20- mpg and as much as 22 if driven very gently (i.e. not too fast.) A set of front hubs will set you back around $200 and they are easy (but a bit involved) to do especially if you are changing the front rotor anyhow on a brake job. Anyhow, the 2002 year is a great vehicle and highly recommend one if you find one in decent shape.

    The suspension is beyond true. Just bought an 02 today and was going down the highway when it started wobbling. Found letting off the gas fixes that but I’m getting those bushings replaced asap. What would cause a rough idle after the A/C has been turned on? I go to turn on the car and it idles good until I turn on the ac and then it idles way high at around 1k and rises to 1200 and then drops and continues to?

    My 1996 doesn't have anything in the rear where you show the evap box and seems to be sealed better everywhere from the factory as far as rust prevention and undercoating. Had to replace all the suspension bushings though over the years and its a good idea to go with poly bushings for both the front and rear control arms. I found some for the front at 4x4parts and while they are expensive it beats doing the rubber ones every couple of years!! Now I'm running lift springs and a welded front diff and can go just about any place I need to go very easily.

The quarter panels and fenders are rusted out from moisture in the wheel flares. It depends on how this SUV holds up after a year (its been drivin in the midwest through sleet hail and snow) but as long as the engine and drivetrain is doing well i am considering repairing/replacing rusted panels and driving this as my winter trooper for years to come!

    I have a 98 Nissan Pathfinder, automatic tranny. It's the best vehicle i have ever owned. I've had to fix it a bit but I've beat on it and beat on it with no end. Still is my daily driver and still runs perfect. I bought it for 800$ and it's been worth every single penny. She's very old but beats anything. 4x4 does amazing in the winter. It'll drive across solid ice. Drove through a foot & 1/2 of snow to get me to the hospital once. If i had the choice? I would buy it again and again. I bought another just like it for parts. It's a SE auto transmission Reverse slips a little in mine and the rear transmission speed sensor is a bit bad but. Oh well It keeps on going. I've done basic things to it. (Timing belt/sensors/bushings) Nobody ever worked on it until i got it. Someone cut through the transmission harness so overdrive goes out sometimes. But i have to solder the wires one day and get her lined out. But man i love the thing. It's over 20 years old and beats any other vehicle i will ever own.

    I have a 2003 Pathfinder at 168k miles and had it for close to 13 years. Recently, the gas meter has been completely off calibration and says I have a half tank when really it's empty. But weirdly since it's been about 20°F outside lately it reads the right gasoline meter for a while until the vehicle has been driving for some time and then it'll throw it off again.

    Knock Sensor. Very common and a big job to replace Throttle Position Sensor. Causes Transmission to not shift Cracked Exhaust Manifolds. Probably caused by misfire from failing distributor or Knock Sensor failure retarding the timing Temperature Gauge not working right Cracked radiator Good vehicle just usually needs the neglected maintenance by 200k

    I have a 97 Nissan pathfinder with 265 thousand miles on it, I had to fix some issues. Trailing arm bushings went bad. Do not use rubber bushings, buy polyurethane, rubber rots, especially if you live in a hot climate like I do here in Vegas. Ignition distributor bearings went bad, replaced it. Corbon canister was leaking, carbon was being sucked onto the engine and clogged the vacuum hoses. I have a oil leak from the power steering pump, I'll driped on to the power steering bushings and rotted them. Can't afford new power steering parts but got polyurethane bushings, they won't rot. I had the death wobble on the front end. But I do have a problem with the fuel pump, it gets stuck on and drains the battery, it doesn't happen all the time. I need help.

    If you got new struts they should have probably came with a small spacer that goes on the strut rod. Its needed for the pre-facelift (96-98) R50 pathfinders.At least my old man emu suspension did. I initially installed them without the spacer and there was a popping sound. Put the spacers on and it fixed the issue.....Got a popping sound again and it turned out to be a bad steering rack. So check those two things.

    Check Nissan for the recall, rusted frame.( Sturt Tower) Will need to be welded if you plan on keeping the vehicle. Nissan just put Kitty hair (Fiberglass) on Mine and it makes that popping, creaking noise when it cold and you first turn the wheel. They didn't properly repair and just covered it up to make it look good.

    If it shakes in the rear and stops when you let off of the gas, it’s most likely your lower trailing arms, it’s an easy fix if you can jack up your truck and take off 2 bolts on either side, put in the new trailing arms and the truck will drive like new.
