[88pathoffroad]

I have a Nissan FSM for 1987-1989 Pathfinders and Hardbody pickups that I can offer some factory information from if anyone has a specific question or need. Just let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. I just wanted to make it known and let everyone know that the offer stands open for anyone.

Also, PLEASE, no requests for mundane things like "what spark plugs should I use" or "what size windshield wiper do I need", those things should be easily found by either searching these forums, my forums at http://wd21forums.damagedreality.com or asking/calling a local parts store. Off-topic requests will be deleted at will. Thank you.

OK, I'm getting code 43 which is TPS but I run through the test and it checks out fine. I even changed it anyways and also changed the whole throttle body including mass air sensor and whatever is attached. The deal is she is running in safe mode and every test my manual (Mitchell repair) says to check seems to check out fine, the last thing I'm going to check is the input/output signals to the ECU and see if there might be a problem there, if not I'm at a loss. Also I've changed the ECU with 3 others and get the same problem along with countless relays.
Any other ideas or things I should check or test?

You're going to have to check the wiring itself, I think. From the end of the ECU plug to the end of the plug at the TPS, each wire should have 0 resistance when tested with a multimeter.

YEE HAW!!!!!!! I got it, it was the wire from the ECU to injector A. It wasn't broke but there was enough resistance to give it trouble and not fire all the time which put it in "safe mode" and wouldn't let it go over 3 grand. So I just ran a jumper wire since the break is in between the firewall and dash. Runs great, thanx for the help.

PS - When I pulled the carpet up on the passanger side to get at the wire's I noticed that a mouse must have been in it a one time and chewed on a few wires, so I'm thinking that he might have gotten up into the dash somewhere's and got at that wire, Man I tell ya, what a pain in the nut sack. Hope no one has to go threw that.

sweet thanks, but do you have pics of all of them? just for one side of course. that's one down four to go! hah i appreciate all and any help 88. im seriously stuck :help:

[88pathoffroad]

What the hell are you doing that requires pics of all ten body mounts? That's how they ALL go with the exception of the rearmost mounts, they just have a big washer that goes on the bolt before the mounts do.

[transworldmoto]

look...i took all the rubber mounts off, so there is just the metal mounting plate, right...so, since there are two pieces two every stock mount, a lower and an upper, i need to know which pieces are the uppers and which are the lowers. they are all sitting in a box and i have no clue where they go.

Hey guys I also have the FSM for 89 Pathfinders, so let me know if I can be of any assistance. Hey NWT87PATHY... I will try to help you with your issues. First of all your oil pressure sending unit is right above the starter (pass side) rear of the oil filter... don't expect to be able to see it at all unless you remove your right front tire, however it's wire has a big orange boot on it from the factory that should help you locate it if you have trouble. Your going to need a test light to check all your rear light sockets and wiring, your back up lights may not work because of the switch in the tranny, mine is a 5spd and mine work sometimes... my switch is either bad or out of adjustment... IMO I wouldnt worry about them myself. Perhaps someone has installed a trailer wiring pigtail at some point in your rear wiring and something has gone caddywhompus with that. I am on my third Pathfinder and have owned nothing but Nissans for 12 years. Email me if you have any other questions I am glad to help. I drive a truck and am gone Mon-Fri so will answer all questions on weekends.

I tried the link in the first post, but it seems to redirect to a dead page. Is there an update or better link I can use?

[88pathoffroad]

Oh, it's dead. Sorry. Some arsehole hacked the forums and killed it.

[vagabond]

looking for the light codes on the eccu of a 3.0 88 pathy anyone?

Look in the How-To section of the Garage.

[milehighcowboy]

hey red got a wiring diagram for the 87 pathy? automatic tranny is what i really need. i have one for the 88 is it the same? colors dont seem to match.

[jond8]

Could you post the factory manual sections relating to changing the timing belt on the VG30e? I want to use it as a reference along with the good instructions on this site.

Thanks,

JB
