Hard Start, Overheat -Part 2 (Nissan Pathfinder)

[@wyattoneable]

I have enjoyed hanging around smart guys like you over the years. I might have actually learn something. Nice fix and nice find on that wheel bearing too.

[@roadkill5333]

wyattoneable...no need to learn anything, when you get to hang around with smart guys like him! That is why my friends list includes a Harley-Davidson owner, a gardener, a roofer, and a prostate Doctor! That way, I can ask to borrow the Harley, get my grass mowed cheap, have my leaky roof patched, but I still can't figure out what to do about my enlarged prostate! There's just some things that are better left to strangers!!

[@spelunkerd]

Absolutely, Wyatt. There are very few people I can't learn something from, but great teachers are in a different league entirely.

[@adammoore2721]

Ivan. Thank you for fixing our pathfinder!! You did and awesome job. You definitely know what you’re doing. We really appreciate your expertise. I really highly recommend Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics! People if you are in central pa call Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Hi Adam thanks for the kind words! I hope the Pathfinder treats you well for many years to come :)

[@robertevans6481]

But wait there's more...nice to see you have your customers safety at heart...

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

If I see a child car seat in the vehicle like in this case, my complimentary look-over is even more thorough :)

[@davidraezer5937]

Took the words right out of my mouth. Glad you looked over the car. Fixing the original problem built trust with the customer to take you up on future needs. Glad the CTS was all that it needed. I would have thought by the wiggle test the terminals has spread. Good job as always Ivan.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

You always amaze me Ivan! Never a dull moment in your "shop." You are, no question about it. DA MAN! God bless you and your parents. I never miss an episode - I learn more and more from you. Thank you.

[@wysetech2000]

Nice diag and repair, Ivan. Makes you feel like you accomplished something. I commend you for making sure the rest of the vehicle is safe for the road.

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Good save on catching the dangerously worn wheel bearing. Nice hose repair too. Glad you didn’t suffer from hot coolant in you face or hands. Take care!

[@stephenlawrence4362]

Nice catch on the wheel bearing. Wish all mechanics were as honest and complete as you are!

[@rusty6666]

Wow ivan glad to see that you have that policy where u check to see if other things on the vehicle are warn and need replacing you r one of the better mechanics out there and you do your work well Thanks...

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thanks Russ! In my opinion there can be no compromise on tires, brakes, and suspension. :)

[@DaveSender66]

Nice fix Ivan! Wheel bearing fix a must good catch by the way. I personally own one of those vehicles I was wondering how to bleed the cooling system so thank you for showing me that. I like how this year has started keep these videos coming buddy!!!!!

[@Garth2011]

What's more, he doesn't have a hoist/lift in the shop and therefore had the instincts to go that extra step to confirm his concern.

[@jdtractorman7445]

It's amazing to see how some customers react to mechanics telling them something else is wrong with their vehicle. They don't get it that the reason we tell them about problems like that is that they are a safety issue. Not just for them but anyone else they may meet on the road. I had one of our sales people bring their car in one day for an oil change and noticed with the car on the lift that the left front tire had the steel cords coming out through it. He had no idea the tire was that bad.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Also a liability issue. If worst came to worst, and the mechanic was questioned they may be held responsible for not alerting the customer.

[@AMStationEngineer]

I'm totally impressed, and that's not easy to do!! Great that you caught the bad wheel bearing, I hope that your customer realizes that you are looking out for their safety and welfare!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

They had a child car seat in the back...no excuses lol

[@adammoore2721]

AMStationEngineer Yep we really appreciate him looking out for us! We did have the other repairs done to(by Ivan of course). He’s awesome

[@AMStationEngineer]

+Adam Moore, the people of our area do tend to help each other. I have MS, and two-plus years ago, when we 'got nailed' by that 42-inch snow, my neighbors off of PA144 (Hammersley), asked to borrow my '79 Jeep Wagoneer, "propane powered plow vehicle", to plow four other neighbors out, and in exchange, they'd lube,oil, and filter it, plus plow my driveway, and run down to the Weis in Renovo, for groceries to feed our whole mountain. Within about four hours, there were eleven neighbors in my living room and kitchen, all stuffing our faces, and enjoying my geothermal heat, and windmill with battery storage - powered TV and DishTV. We're lucky to live where we do:-D

[@gs7865]

Really glad to see that hose repair done by you. Tried that a couple times myself, they always held but I felt so squeamish about it. I've even wrapped non stretching tape around the splice to keep it from ballooning between the clamps. Thanks Ivan!

[@graymodeler]

GW S There is only about 14 pounds per square in on a hose with nylon cord that is rated at much more than that. Also the surface area of the repair is probably less than a square inch so it probably has only 3 or 4 pounds on it. I have had a rotten Chinese hose fail on me however. Lol

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

It's a quality coolant hose, so no worries :)

[@gs7865]

@@graymodeler Yeah something that short would't freak me but I did one that was about 4 inches and it started to kind of bulge after a bunch of heat and cool events. I also might have just been imagining it. But I thought maybe because the patch hose had a thinner wall, all of the pressure in the system would find that weak point and.... well, it never failed but I wrapped it anyway.

[@jamesh6229]

Thanks for the video Ivan, it is good to be a thorough mechanic. You would hate for the customer to say after driving 5 miles that their wheel fell off right after they went to the mechanic.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Good video Ivan. Nice find with the wheel bearing. Shows you care what you work on. ❤️️

[@Garth2011]

There you have it ! A temp sensor that shows up on the scanner equipment and your everyday mechanic couldn't figure out the sensor was failing. Simply amazing that a few shops couldn't determine this fault. I've always said, if it's business to be in business, your chances of full service are slim because most of the focus is on supporting the overhead expenses and when an issue comes up that requires patience and time, it's not part for the formula. This is likely why many shops won't get technical as the time to do that isn't making them enough money. Maybe those shops need to readdress how they retain a customer base and they won't have to always be looking for new ones. I'm sure there's no way this customer will return to any of those shops he went to previously and couldn't find this fairly inexpensive repair.

[@williegillie5712]

Another job well done Ivan. Gotta stay away from those plastic pipes by the heater core. As easy as they seem to break something tells me there’s tons more of them out there breaking on their own. Bad design if you ask me. That’s an easy way to get stranded on a highway. Can only hope Nissan recalls them buggers

[@jomangeee]

OK Let me tell yeah wish your shop was close by!! I had terrible experience around here

[@MiguelFlores-jp1ss]

Great Job !!! I had a 92 burb changed the 192 degree thermostat (for summer) to 180, my burb ran like crap. All the sensors are meant to operate at a certain temperature, changed back to 192 and BAM running at 100%

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nice job! Great idea with the 1" hose. I've fixed a few early '00's Chevy trucks that way (not with 1" hose though), since they have that goofy plastic deal going into the heater core. Absolutely useless setup - they should've just connected the hoses direct to the core like they have for 50 years prior. I forgot to comment on the last vid about that coolant blast! That was nuts! Was a HUGE volume of liquid caught on camera for a split second - it startled me for a second, since I was so focused on the video, HAHAHA! I've had that happen twice myself on Ford 3.0 liters - can't remember exactly where it was, but was next to the radiator or front of engine if I remember right. One time was the little coolant overflow nipple on the filler neck. There was no fixing that, except for a new radiator. That sucked. My Autel is SOOO SLOOOOW on Nissans. Was able to perform an idle relearn on a supercharged 3.3 in a Frontier once. Just takes FOREVER to get everything to boot up. It worked, though, thankfully. Used car dealership had butchered the screws to the TPS, so I had to extract them, stripped and bent, and install new ones, and set the TPS. While I was there, i cleaned the throttle body. Nice wheel bearing! I remember the first time I had ever seen a hub bearing was on my '94 K1500 - was on my way to work, and noticed extra pedal travel and lots of noise - knew something was failing, but I had to get to work! About 3 miles from there, I started hearing noise like BB's hitting the side of the truck - it was the barrel-shaped roller bearings being spit out of the bearing! I had to pull over to let the brake rotor cool down - my brand new brakes were SMOKING hot. I eventually made it to work, with the top of the front wheel cambered out at least 15 degrees!! Every co-worker I ran into said the same thing to me when they saw me, " Hey man! Your left front wheel is ready to fall off!" HAHAHA! Hitched a ride via AAA at the end of the day ... 😁

[@michaeljacyno8368]

Great result on this one! Interesting that the other places couldnt figure out the issue. Glad they couldnt because we got another awesome case study! Thanks!

[@fire7765]

I enjoy your videos n approach to troubleshooting.

[@JamesLee-oe7mt]

Had a 95 Maxima that suffered a similar problem with the cts....much more intermittent. The cluster gauge had a separate sender so no indication on the dash...the car would just stall and randomly not restart for a few seconds to a few minutes. No codes either. Drove it for days with the scanner before I caught the problem....really was suspecting loss of crank or maf input but surprised me....cool video thanks for sharing

Nicely done Ivan Wonder why the other shops didn't noticed the obvious especially this common problem with Nissan ECT

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Not sure....at least they changed the oil before bringing it over :)

[@pidgeiam4979]

Nice stuff man!! Who knew that a coolant sensor would cause that grief huh?? Nice catch. Good on yah for the wheel bearing catch as well. I’ve owned and worked on a few of these 4.0 Nissan motors in the past and currently. Regular maintenance goes a long way. I think I came here via Mr.Eric O. Great channel keep up the good work man. -Pidge

Thanks for the kind words, Pidge :)

[@feeneysmechanical6215]

Great video. I use the plastic hose connections for coolant hoses. They come in straight and 90 degrees. Also in t-shape

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Good job Ivan! Hope they let you fix that bearing before they headed home!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Wheel bearing and front brakes done. Now I can sleep at night haha

[@c86tail]

Nice job Ivan! Great follow up on the loose wheel bearing as well.

[@62ejo]

Well done Ivan,next video front wheel bearing...

[@shawnbauman5463]

That should be a flat cap on the radiator. A vacuum filler is the way to do Nissan cooling system fills.

[@mikechiodetti6737]

My 06 V6 Nissan Frontier has a "Dummy Cap" on top of the radiator and a pressure cap on the white "Surge" Tank in back of the battery From The Factory. Nissan set it up that way, at least for the vehicles built in Oct 2005, registered as a 2006. Be careful about switching them! The small hose coming out from near the top of the radiator below the dummy cap goes to the surge tank. There's a larger hose from the surge tank to the heater AND it crosses from the passenger side to the driver's side of the engine and goes into an aluminum port at the water pump. The T'stat is in its housing where the lower radiator hose coming from the radiator is connected. This is also near the water pump. The upper rad hose from the radiator goes to a steel pipe that fits into a cast pipe with an "O" ring sealing the two. All this on the passenger side. Then the cast pipe goes around the back of the engine, an to both cylinder heads. You've replaced the only temp sensor on the engine in back of the passenger side head. Be careful of the cam sensor connector near the coolant sensor. It's a "Unique" connector! Nissan doesn't sell it, but I bought one online from Bonanza for $22.99. Hope this helps for next time.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

I should have just broken the one-way valve off the rad cap and it would have functioned the same as the dummy cap haha

[@thomastommy1192]

Great job. You fixed the problem. Thank you for sharing your video. I hope you have a blessed week.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thank you Thomas!

[@4WDIESEL1]

[@gonzgarr1592]

ain't the temp of the coolant one off the first reading the computer reads to control fuel trim ?

[@roadkill5333]

gonz garr...No, fuel gauge is!

[@dm9030]

O2 sensors

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Absolutely. It is the #1 important sensor for cold starts.

[@nunzo44]

I feel like that brittle plastic left in the small diameter coolant hose to clamp to could break up, possibly plug the heater core etc. Thoughts?

[@mikechiodetti6737]

When you do the bearing, I want to watch. I "might" have one going out. Still need to "test, not guess!" When wheels are turned left and backing up slowly, there is a slight moaning coming from that side. I'm hoping it's the brake pads, but again, "test, don't guess!" Good Video.

[@roadkill5333]

Mike Chiodetti...backing up, while turning left, and hearing a slight moaning, usually means that your wife was standing behind you, and you didn't look! That one is an easy fix! A big box of chocolate, several dozen roses, and never even break another rule around her again, and she's guaranteed to only mention it during holidays at your family place, and in front of her mother every chance she gets!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

OMG this is too funny xD

[@JVerschueren]

It's not ghetto if it works reliably. 1958 VW Beetles had a problem: their throttle cables would snap right at the carburetor. There had been a recall, but the American using the particular one my dad bought 2nd hand in November of that year, hadn't heeded it (he'd only used it to shuttle back and forth to the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels). So late spring 1959 it stranded my mum and dad on the side of a German motorway. My dad ended up unbraiding the end of the throttle cable, knotting the strands into a little loop. He then, as my mum wore her hair in a bun at the time, threaded a bobby pin through that loop, bent the legs over the fork-like lever on the carburetor cotter pin-style and twisted them tight around the throttle cable, allowing the gas pedal to operate and my parents to continue their holiday. Afterwards they did take the car to the local VW dealer/mechanic, who concluded the fix was good enough for my dad to continue driving the car while he checked if he could still fix it for free. The importer wasn't very keen on the idea, but agreed to talk to Wolfsburg in Germany and they, in turn, were sort of wishy-washy about it... long story short, the car drove fine for another 17 years and a total of 146847km before the gearbox gave way and it was considered no longer worth fixing (also given the front floors were almost completely rotted out; we had pieces of 3-ply in there to avoid stepping through the car as we got in).

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Awesome fix!! Love it!

[@paulkirkland1535]

Great job Ivan:I'd have done it the similar way. I completely understand the customers budget woes, been there so I know what that's all about. I recently worked on one these Nissan Pathfinder with a V8. I didn't believe it at first thinking someone put a V8 badge on the front doors. I was mighty surprised to actually find a massive 5.6litre V8 under the hood of this thing. Ivan have you seen one with a V8? I had to rebuild the rear suspension system in order get the vehicle to pass a safety. The rear suspension was in rough shape,seems a lot of towing was part of this vehicle's life. The owner says its a bit of a gas hog which I can imagine. Have a great God blessed day and I hope to meet you,Keith and Eric O one day.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Holy cow no idea that they offered a V8 in a Pathfinder. That thing must be a BEAST!

[@NickMyers1]

I think he’s referencing the pathfinder armada. The big mama

[@davecaselli1957]

Saw a review of an Armada V8 from Australia recently . He said towing he used 30 liters per 100 kilometers. (If i remember right) Didn't mean much to me. so I did a conversion. It was about 7 1/2 mpg.

[@Bighead-he8zb]

He must be talking about the Armada. I have a 2005 Nissan Armada. I believe the 2004 model was called a Pathfinder Armada but it's size, shape, engine is Armada not Pathfinder.

[@gtemnykh]

@@NickMyers1 Nope, they did indeed offer the big 5.6L in the midsize pathfinder body, on the top trim LE from what I can remember.

[@amtpdb1]

Do you put any sealant or Teflon on the threads or does it have to be metal to metal to complete a ground? Thanks for the video.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

The sensor had a crush washer. Ground is through one of the 2 wires :)

[@mikechiodetti6737]

Forgot to add this. Below the "Dummy Cap" is the hose that goes to the "SurgeTank" as I said. That hose cannot be blocked by a pressure cap. I'm not 100% sure, but I remember reading somewhere that small hose helps to equalize the system pressure. Ok. With all the hoses on this engine, you'd think that hose would not be needed, but all the other hoses at the front of the engine are just that! The upper and lower rad hoses go to the engine, so that one hose allows coolant to go back to, or come from the "Surge" tank to/from the radiator. If I'm not mistaken, the pressure cap is 1 bar or 14.7--15 lbs. Your Pathfinder has the exhaust chains/tensioner whine. As I looked at mine all apart, I definitely saw an engineering nightmare/screwup! Just my $0.02 worth.

[@medicfour9268]

Great video, love this channel and always learn something from you. Maybe i can return the favor, Nissan is an Asian car and they require phospated organic acid technology, (POAT/HOAT) coolant. That stuff looked like generic "universal" coolant that is no good in any car except in emergency top off and due to the incompatible add packs can actually damage water pumps, heater cores, radiators and engine coolant passages with sludge, precipitates and insulating gel. TST Seminars has a presentation by Donny Seyfer on KZbin about coolants that is worth the 2+ hours of time to watch. Happy new year to you and yours.

[@davecaselli1957]

I wondered about that. I don't subscribe to the "universal" coolants. No matter what Tim and Billy Bob determine [ If you've seen their video :-) ]

[@medicfour9268]

I used to be one of them, coolant is coolant is coolant types...until I started researching why my Subaru needed blue coolant and just WHAT was different between the green and blue and my whole brain had to change what I thought I knew. Lol. I was all shouting at my screen "Don't do it Ivan, don't pour that in ther....oh no..." 😯

[@jeffreybass5479]

I always use the correct coolant. Never the all makes/all models. The colors in my inventory are like a rainbow.

Check if you have a good voltage supply at the starter when cranking on both the main B+ cable as well as the control wire when cranking hot. If those are OK, then it's a bad starter.

Super dangerous when knocking your pads off disc as bad that one probably is :-S Plastic fittings in the coolant system is pita, can be spendy if not easy patch up like that one, such a simple thing can leave car totally unusable without awkward obtain parts if unlucky .

[@ryanmurray9017]

A better way to repair the broken plastic junction, is to use brass fittings. Cut all of the plastic out and replace it all. This way, you eliminate the brittle plastic.

[@roadkill5333]

Greg J Feeney...nope, he only makes videos! You checked with Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, for a T-shirt! ;-P

[@mrbigg1776]

What state are you in

[@JSchrumm]

That repair will have the next guy puzzled about the heater hose then pissed off.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Why pissed off? At least it won't explode in his face! xD

[@sinegra30]

Excelent tutorial, thanks!

[@vencentbauer]

Where is your vac refiller

[@themechanic6117]

Last time I came across a bad temp sensor on a pathfinder thank God that hoes didn't break on me.

[@focus82grothm]

Very good job. 👍

[@RJMaker]

but did you check and inflate the tires air pressure... :-)

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually I did!

[@willemstreutgers1154]

At the end you see how important a simple temp.sensor is nowadays. It regulates almost everything needed for a smooth ride. LOL

Ship it! Thanks Ivan.
