Sly - 01 Jul 2005 13:51 GMT my 94 pathfinder has a problem where sometimes when i start it, and drive off, it will stutter and run poorly, its hard to explain, on accelleration it sputters and sounds like its missing a cylinder or two, when coasting its fine, this doesnt happen all the time, just once in awhile, ive done a full tune up with oem parts , any clues?

Sly - 01 Jul 2005 14:42 GMT sometimes engine cold, sometimes warm, no codes, no engine light

Sly - 01 Jul 2005 14:48 GMT i guess its mostly when cold, also seems to be in how i start the vehicle, if i hop in and turn the key to ignition right away, it seems to cause the problem more than when i turn the key slowly and wait for the fuel pump to make noise first then start it

Sly - 01 Jul 2005 14:50 GMT another problem is something that happens all the time, when i gun the engine, before it shifts to the next gear, it will bog way down and lack power, meaning, i accelerate hard and near the shift range bog and stutter, its a nice suv but seems to lack power

Sly - 01 Jul 2005 17:17 GMT doesnt seem to start asquickly as id think it would, fuel pump sounds normal

Pump noise was a high pitch wine, which I thought was nominal. May want to have the problem looked at or it may leave you stranded. My died right after tank fillup at station.
greyhoundne32 - 03 Jul 2005 17:27 GMT just had the same problem,called out mobile tuner.not very good news,needs new throttle body. £400,from nissan,£100,on ebay,
Sly - 03 Jul 2005 18:29 GMT if its the throttle body at fault,m and the problem is only intermittant, then isnt there some individual part at fault on the throttle body like a position sensor or that screen thingy inside or something instead of buying the whole throttle body? it just doesnt seem that my throttle body is at fault to me

Sly - 04 Jul 2005 02:04 GMT if wigglin it was sposed to make it start normal, then i guess next time it starts and runs funny, il try turning it off and wigglin the wire and connector
