hello
I got a pathy 97 american spec from almost one year here in Dubai, i liked this car and i am very convinced about owning this car ( soon wanna trade for a pathy 2003 model)
i would to know if any owners from UAE are her on this forum.

about my pathfinder performance here : one of the best SUv ever, off-roadin is mainly on sand i can rate the pathy 6/10 ( on sand dunes),,(best 4x4s here are the nissan patrol and toyota landcruiser 9/10)
about fuel economy : forget about it... , maintenance and parts prices : very good since here top makers are nissan and toyota .

dunno what else to tell,, but i ll ask u guys somethin : i did clean the MAF sensor , i was amazed because it didnt look dirty even that i m off-roadin on sand 40% of my trips,anyway after cleanin and installin again i remarked that the idle RPM increased a lil bit (around 200 rpm) is it normal ? i do care about reducin my feul bills, barely 380 miles by a full tank and no big difference on highways (i did note this milage excludin offroads-never 4wd ).

thanks


oh , by the way, there is a topic about Ecu self-diagnostic mode for the 1995 , is it applicable for the 97?

here is how to do Diagnostics on a 98 which should be the same as a 97; I believe 95 is different
98 Diagnostics

I installed a Safari Snorkel to keep the sand out of my airfilter, (I have no where near as much sand as you do in Dubai!-)
Keeps my filter and MAF much cleaner pulling alot less sand into the intake when I am behind other vehicles in dry sand...
