Connect the positive and negative cables on the timing gun to the corresponding posts on the battery (will be marked with + and - signs) connect the sensor on the timing gun to plug wire #1. any where on the wire will do, it is just an external clamp that will read through the cable's sheathing. First locate three sequential marks on the crank pulley (found on the front of the block.) you will also see a pointed tab hanging over the crank pulley. Point your timing gun at the tab and pull while the car is running (let the engine reach proper temperature before timing) The middle of the three marks on the crank pulley should line up with the pointed tab every time the light flashes.
you don't the computer does it for you. if it is out of time you may want to check cam sensor or possibly timing chain.
I have your answer for you. I talked to Nissan about this before. First of all, the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesnt have a timing belt. It has a timing chain. And Nissan doesnt set a life to these components. It is pretty much ment to last a long time and when it does go. then you need to replace it. Sounds odd but that is what the mechanic at Nissan told me. when it goes it will warp the valves and possible the pistons will hit the head and just destroy the engine. what to listen for when u need the timing chain replaced is metel slapping something or should i say like it isn't oiling properly. i would have it checked out every 60,000 miles.

60,000 miles or 24 months The factory recommends every 100,000 miles. You may as well do the water pump at the same time as you have to take it off anyway at that time.

timing is computer controlled. You don't need to do any timing.
