Hello. I'm new to this forum, but I have been an active member at 350-tech.com for a while now since I own a 350Z.

Anyway....

I have a 95 pathfinder. It has 67K miles on it. It's kind of a beater, but it's for winter driving. I drive it during the week when I want to let my Z have a rest from long miles to work. Well....here is my problem:

I drove my pathfinder to work. All is well. I go to take it home, and as soon as I start it up, and start to drive, it starts to putter and act like it wants to stall and die. My fuel gauge isn't perfect, but I was low on gas (not enough to have the light come on yet, but I figured, what the heck). So....I take it to the Mobil and fill it up (I always use mobil on my cars). I start it up after filling it up and drive it home. No problems. I go to use it yesterday, and I start it, and it starts to putter right off the bat again and dies.

Today, I'm testing it out to see what the problem is, because I looked all over the engine for loose wires, stripped wires, leaks, etc, but saw nothing. It putters and stalls when i first start the car, but after giving it gas, and waiting a couple of minutes, it runs just fine. After driving it around for like 15 minutes with no problems, I take it home, in my driveway, and park it. Turn it off. Wait a minute or so, and start it back up. Putters and dies. I don't get it. Why is it puttering and dying when it first starts up? I'm a newbie with looking at fuel pumps and all that, so can someone help!!!!???

Thanks

Sean
