Okay just some clarity around the issue at hand
Issue -
When car is at idle it will sometimes shudder and then stall. It doesn't happen whilst driving its just while siting at the lights or in traffic.
The car is not logging any error codes when it does this.
Mechanic has no idea what to do and has suggested Nissan needs to scan it as a next step.
What has he done so far -
1) Check for logged error codes - NONE LOGGED
2) Smoke test - No air leaks in the turbo or intake system
3) Replaced about 4 sensors in the engine bay
4) Checked all earths and connections
5) Reset and re learned ECU
6) Checked fuel pressure
Next Steps -
1) Replace fuel filter
2) Get some one else to scan it
So it not looking good
and its just due to the time of the ear everything is closed so will wait and see on monday.
Oh no!
I'll cross my fingers that it is miraculously fixed!
Me to
!
Oh bugger of all times ,hoping you have some good luck there mate
Yes not a great time, this seems to be a yearly occurance I think the pathfinder is take the silly season literally these days!
is it re-starting OK , sound like fuel issue?
It does sound like it to me to as they have checked the air intake system and replaced multiple sensors.
Please do check pipes connecting air cleaner to fuel injectors. Start at where air is sucked into air cleaner and keep going until you get to the head.
Had same problem with my Toyota. Took ages to find.
I presume this happens when the Nissan is at normal operating temperature? And yes, it is frustrating as it won't show up in a computer error code.
It does it all temperatures just random.
They did a smoke test on it to check for air leaks and there is zip of them
!
This sounds like the cam shaft sensor problems that were in the commedoresn the 90's

Yep they repalced something similiar to this, can't remember the name but they did replace this sensor and a few others but problem remains.
If the air cleaner is connected to the injectors, you've got a problem right there
I'd definately reccomend seing nissan. Its amazing what the correct software offers in diagnostics!
Yes, Nissan is what the mechanic has advised but two problems -
1) Nissan can only scan it on 24 December
2) All mechanics etc are shut from this point for a period of time
!!!!
Also check all your wiring loom connections for tightness and cleanliness
MAF sensor?
Is it at the lights etc or whilst on the move?
Just at the lights, you will come to a stop, it will shudder every now and then and just stall.
Some times its fine, some times it does.
Must be the week for x-file pathfinder issues.
We took ours in for a service and was told we have an oil leak.
Except they can't find it.
Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz really???
Cough cough "buy a Toyota" ;D
Lol, the Pathfinder will live again!!!
Mate, get it fixed, I've been waiting for you to come up north again. I hope it's not just an excuse to stay on Sydney.
Trust me definitely not an excuse I want out of here so bad its not funny
.
Fingers crossed for monday
I'm no expert @
expanda, but I reckon the problem lies wit it being a Nissan!
Hope it gets fixed quickly for you!
At this moment in time I can not confirm or deny your statement
!
