What would cause the 1995 Nissan Pathfinder not to go in forward or reverse?
There are several things that can cause your 1997 Nissan Pathfinder to stall. The most common cause is a lack of fuel caused by a malfunctioning fuel pump.
baring? maybe a rotor?
the speed sensor, trans. sensor , or the speedometer cable
One possible cause of a 4WD warning light on a Nissan Pathfinder Terrano to glow steadily is a faulty fuse. It may also be because the wiring is shorted.
Try the rotor(under the cap). mine was burn't, talk about shake rattle and roll I've had 3 Nissan pu's greg also, check your vacume lines. Even one can cause sputter. There is a wire coming out of the bottom of your distribitur. if it gets frayed, it can have the same result. Check your fuel flow. dirty carb or fuel injectors will cause it to sputter and or die when put in gear.
An idle set too high can cause a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder to run at a high RPM in 5th gear. A bad transmission gasket can also cause this.
The transmission on the 1994 Nissan Pathfinder may need to have a fluid flush. Dirty fluid will cause the gears to shift hard when transitioning from place to place.
The blower on a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder won't turn off if the switch is stuck in the on position or the relay is defective. Removing the blower fuse will cause the fan to turn off.
A malfunctioning battery can't provide enough power to your ignition system when the motor is idling can cause sputtering. If there is not enough gas, that can cause your vehicle to sputter. If the spark plugs fail to fire will also cause your vehicle to sputter.
Even after I put a new battery the car would not start easily. Please help.
