Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / December 20051995 Nissan pathfinder won't start
My 1995 Nissan pathfinder will not start. I tried to warm it up the other day. It started rough and I left it for a few minutes. It died and now it will not start back up. I have changed the spark plugs and checked the battery. They both SEEM fine. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to hearing them! Is it cranking? Does the fuel pump run when you turn the key on? Check the 3-pin connector going to the MAF - disconnect it, clean it and reconnect. Is it really cold there? Maybe frozen gasline? I think we need more information. > My 1995 Nissan pathfinder will not start. I tried to warm it up the other > day. It started rough and I left it for a few minutes.

If the timing belt had gone, wouldn't it make really bad noises when he cranked it? > could the timing belt have gone? > how's the mileage and was the timing belt ever changed?

I had it happen to an old Honda. cranked at first, then nothing. ended up with 4 valves bent. might be good to do a compression test just to make sure. > If the timing belt had gone, wouldn't it make really bad noises when he > cranked it? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >>> hearing >>> them! should have also mentioned...have a friend who was driving down the interstate (many years ago) in a Toyota. all was fine then the engine just died. he pulled to the side but couldn't start the engine. it would turn over but nothing else. he took it to a shop and found out the timing belt went. same story...replaced bent valves changed out and all was fine after. > nope. > I had it happen to an old Honda. cranked at first, then nothing. ended [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>>> hearing >>>> them! > should have also mentioned...have a friend who was driving down the > interstate (many years ago) in a Toyota. all was fine then the engine > just died. he pulled to the side but couldn't start the engine. it would > turn over but nothing else. he took it to a shop and found out the timing > belt went. same story...replaced bent valves changed out and all was fine > after. In general I thought that Toyota's had the non-interference scheme, although Honda & Nissan were engine killers. Of course, I don't know about every car. (understatement :-) >> nope. >> I had it happen to an old Honda. cranked at first, then nothing. ended >> up with 4 valves bent. might be good to do a compression test just to >> make sure. Happened to my '83 Honda Civic. It never stopped cranking, but I never did get the nut off the crankshaft pulley to put the new belt on. Probably did bend the valves, but I don't know.  Signature-- R Flowers it was on an older rwd corolla wagon. >> should have also mentioned...have a friend who was driving down the >> interstate (many years ago) in a Toyota. all was fine then the engine [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > get the nut off the crankshaft pulley to put the new belt on.
