2006 Nissan Pathfinder. I was driving my vehicle when I heard a sound like a spring popped and it hit the pavement and sound like metal but I could not find anything in the road. It still drives.

Get the suspension springs checked. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface with no-one in it. Stand back and carefully look at the vehicle. Sometimes when a spring fails the vehicle will lean towards the broken side. The tail ends of the spring can break off when they are old and the broken bits don't always fall out when it happens.
The stall could be something separate. Do you have any warning lights on the dash? If the charcoal canister is starting to fail it often causes the check engine light to turn on as it will affect the emissions. This will trigger other engine sensors to flag up a trouble code.

How to fix the code p0410 in a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder

Code 410 is for a problem with the AIR system but I don't have the explanation for a Nissan.
The AIR system pumps cold air into the exhaust system to lower emissions.
You might try using a search engine to look for the test procedure for Nissan.

I have a 1999Nissan Pathfinder I can't pass my admission test why

I presume you meant to write emission test . There will be a certain type of emission that is too high. The test result will tell you which that is. But the first thing to do is have the computer scanned for trouble codes...and start fixing what the computer recognizes as a fault......
you will need expert help for this unless you buy yourself a scanner tool etc.

What is the drive cycle for a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder?

What is not ready?

One of the 8 Emission Monitors?

Drive cycles have to be looked up in factory manuals
& done by a repair shop, NOT the vehicle owner

Seldom do you need to do a drive cycle

If a drive cycle is done for a reason, there is no driving a vehicle
hundreds of miles, as you hear about

I would guess you have an Emissions Failure

Exhaust Converter
Oxygen Sensors
Cylinder Misfires
Egr Issue
Evap System

What ever codes you have, will tell you the system to component test

Need scan tool to look at data,thus a repair shop

I failed the emisson's test. I have a 97 Nissan

P0136 indicates a bad O2 sensor. This reports poor emission performance back to the car's PCM (computer)
P0325 indicates a bad "Knock" sensor which would adversely effect drivability as far as performance is concerned. Only way to fix these 2 problems is replacement of the 2 components.
