There may be a knock sensor malfunction causing the engine timing to change. This happened to me a couple of times. You can replace the sensor yourself if you don't mind some scraped knuckles, or you can get a mechanic to do it.

the engine reads this because Nissan made a 21r engine, similar to the 22r, except the 21r was smaller, and the head was slightly different. it is often unheard of because it is illegal in the unites states because it doesnt reach emission control that the US requires


When should the timing belt on a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder be replaced?

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.
