2001 Pathfinder with ~100k miles has started to occasionally shake, sometimes at start-up (in park), sometimes while driving. Check engine light goes on sometimes too. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Have it tuned up, change plugs and wires and airfilter.
sorry google translator
was running but lost power on the freeway
First, check for clogged catalytic converter / exhaust
Second, check fuel pressure + flow
Third, check timing belt / timing gear alignment marks (could have jumped a tooth or two).

I really like how the 2001 pathfinder looks and i have a 1998 and was wondering what parts would fit and what parts wouldn’t
Some parts of the 98 will fit the 01 pathfinder. If you are thinking about doing some parts switching, call a local salvage yard and ask if the part will "interchange"
The 2001 pathfinder is equipped with a VQ35DE engine.
The item you are refering to is called an oil cooler. remove oil filter
and you will notice two hoses that attach to the round thing. These are coolant hoses. The pipe the oil filter screws onto has a captive nut up against the cooler(round thing) unscrew this [...]
Improper belt tension can cause the belt to squeal, regardless of the belt’s age. Check/adjust the belt tension on the new belt and keep the old belt as a backup in case the new one breaks sometime (since the new one is already installed I wouldn’t take it off now…)
Could be a bunch of things: a bad motor mount, Clogged fuel filter, bad sensor, worn out Spark plugs and wires. The list goes on. If the check engine light is on get the codes checked. If you don’t have the know how and knowledge to fix it. It’s best to take the truck to [...]
It could be a bunch of things but I had the same thing happen to me with my van last week. It stopped blowing hot air even when it was warmed up. Turned out it was leaking water. I was almost totally out of water/antifreeze. I had the leak repaired and fill back up with [...]
the tire size of my pathfinder is 255 65r 16 and i was wondering if i could go alittl ebigger maybe 255 70’s or 265 65 or 265 70 without puting on a lift.
Engineers spent lot’s of money making that truck ride like a car now you want to put tire size on it that [...]
The 2001 Pathfinder recommends 5W-30 for all climates. 10W-30 or 10W-40 may also be used in above 0F temperatures. I’d recommend a conventional 5W-30 such as Pennzoil or Valvoline changed at 3,000-5,000 mile intervals depending on what type of driving you do. For severe service, stick with 3,000. For highway driving, change it every 5,000 [...]
After I start my truck, I have to tap the brake and hold it down for 2-3 minutes before it "unlocks" the shifter in order for me to shift out of park. What can I do to fix this?
I have had my truck since it was brand new in 2001, shifting out of park [...]
