Nissan pathfinder runs very slowly

Hi, you could check your engine mounts.

run fault codes and look for failing cam/crank position sensor or loose or faulty wiring to the units.

your tyre could have a bulge or the balancers have come off. Could be under inflated. You havent run over anything? You may only need a wheel balance. Have you run over a gutter and bent the rim.

Nissan has a critical recall on the front strut towers on that year Pathfinder. Could cause steering problems even lose of steering, causing crash. If you havent had this fixed bring it too Nissan dealer immediately. They will provide loaner vehicle and in extreme cases when it is beyond fixing, Nissan is buying back the vehicles.

replace water pump on first question,second replace the speed switch.










TIM..

I'd be looking a the driveshaft ujoints.. Push and pull the driveshaft looking for any play at the cup areas.

You have to re-set the obd via using Nissan's approved drive-cycle which is;

1. Start the engine when the engine coolant

temperature gauge needle points to C. Allow

the engine to idle until the gauge needle

points between the C and H (normal operating

temperature).

2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88

km/h), then quickly release the accelerator

pedal completely and keep it released for at

least 6 seconds.

3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a

moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed

of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96 km/h) for at least

5 minutes.

4. Stop the vehicle.

5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55 km/h)

and maintain the speed for 20 seconds.

6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 at least 3 times.

7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h)

and maintain the speed for at least 3 minutes.

8. Stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one more

time.

If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat the

preceding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable

between steps. Do not stop the engine

until step 7 is completed. If you cannot or

do not want to perform the driving pattern, a
NISSAN dealer can conduct it for you.

yes get it tuned!

If u have hub caps remove them and see if the noise goes away.. Sometimes the hub caps aren't tight enough to the rim and move a little causing the clicking.

For 4W Hi either be stopped or moving at a slow rate of speed (<20 MPH) and move your 4WD selector to the 4 Wheel Hi position.

For 4W Lo stop and move the selector from 2W Hi to 4W Hi then push down on the selector and move through N into 4W Lo.
