I recently bought my 1987 pathfinder with 3.0 v6.
It runs bad, when I try to drive it it acts alot like a bad Catalytic Converter. No power unless you hold it to the floor then it will sort of go down the road.
And it does not seem like a Bad Miss when you try to drive it, just seems like it is not getting enough of something.
The ECU test (Thanks for the how to guide sticky, it was a great help) tripped 4 codes.
12 Air Flow Meter/Mass Air Flow Sensor
45 Injector Leak
51 Injector Circuit
53 Oxygen Sensor
I get some popping in the exhaust when you rev it up. But the PO has put headers on it. It almost looks as if the TB has or is leaking around the middle of it. (Sorry I suck at trying to describe.) But like I said above it is gutless just like a plugged Catalytic Converter except it doesn't have one.
The reason I post this is in hope of some clarification as to what exactly the problem could be. That Air Flow Meter is like 300 bucks and I was told that I could not just swap one from a Junk yard. How ever a bad injector I could!
I don't want to play 300.00 dollar guessing games lol.
