NISSAN PATHFINDER 1998 3.2 LTR AUTO PETROL

[kevinbrigginshaw]

I HAVE THE ABOVE AND ITS RUNNING REALLY RICH, THE PATHFINDER HAS DONE JUST UNDER 200,000 MILES IN HARSH CONDITIONS HERE IN HAITI BUT I ASSUME MOST OF THE MILES HAVE BEEN PUT ON IN THE STATES.

SPARES ARE DIFFICULT TO COME BY HERE EXCEPT FROM THE STATES, THEN THERE IS NO GUARANTEE COMPANIES WILL SHIP HERE.

I HAVE REPLACED THE PLUGS, REPLACED THE HT LEADS, I HAVE A NEW ROTOR COMING SOON.

THE EXHAUST HAS A THICK COVERING OF BLACK SOOT.

THE CAR RUNS OK BUT LACKS ANY POWER, THE LUMP WILL PULL UP TO 70 ON THE ABSOLUTE FLAT AND UPHILL (I LIVE 5500' UP A MOUNTAIN) IM LUCK TO MAKE 25 MPH AND ITS A 15 KM RUM UP AND NOT ADVERSELY STEEP IN ANYU ONE PLACE.

THE FUEL CONSUMPTION IS AROUND 10-15MPG (us GALLS).

ANY IDEAS? I DONT WANT TO GET RID AS IT A SOLID BATTLEBUS AND THATS NEEDED HERE, JUST NEED TO IMPROVE MGG AND PERFORMANCE.

ONE THIN I HAVE NOTICED IT RUNS BETTER IN CRUISE CONTROL THAN USING THE BOOT...!

I know it's windy where you are, but there's no need to shout.

My first guess for overly rich running would be a MAF or oxygen sensor issue.

I have the 3.2td version and quite like it.

You could have the most choked up air filter in the history of air filters.
