Hello! Trying to get my xterra's timing set up and at the moment I am in a pickle... I have cylinder 1 at TDC, and the left notch wants to be slightly turned.. whereas the right notch will stay straight.. do I install the timing based on it being turned? Or do I use my wrench and turn the left...

Hello yall.. got myself a 2001 xterra 2.4L L4.. had a bad headgasket on it and the mechanic wanted 1k to get it fixed.. Being stupid and not knowing much I attempted to fix it myself.. fast forward got everything taken apart and back together and it won't start... has compression, spark, and...

Got an 02 Se/SC, certain the bearing in the distributor is shot, ordered a replacement. I don’t have a timing light, nor can I find anyone with one and part stores aren’t renting out tools anymore since scary covid. Im fairly certain I have to get the engine to TDC, with the rotor at position 1...

Does anyone have info on how to time my 2003 XE V6, 3.3 liter? The distributor came loose and it jumped time. Thanks,

So I had a pretty bad misfire issue in cylinders 4 and 6 that turned into a crank no start a couple of weeks ago. Initially thought it was the fuel injectors based on the symptoms/diagnostic, so I did a fuel induction, which did nothing. Before getting into replacing the injectors, I decided...

So. 2004 3.3L VG33ER (supercharged). Warped the head due to overheating incident. Got the heads fixed, resurfaced and a few valves replaced. Put it all back together and now there is this gnarly tapping sound. I have scoured the forums for this engine and a few posts stated that it was just...

05 xterra . jumped time. broken tensioner. Replaced timing chains, tensioner and guides. verified all timing marks were correct. now it runs good, takes a little longer to start than it should and the computer says cam 2 is 60 degrees off. is this a phaser problem? any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I am fairly new at auto maintenance, I am quite capable with instructions and video help but this has me worried. I know that cylinder one has to be at top dead center, and I can do that easily. But what about the other half of the engine. Does it have to be in a certain position or...

Hi, all: I'll try to make this as condense as possible. I have a 2000 xterra 3.3L, and while looking under the hood I happened to notice the support housing for my distributor (part number 22178) had a cross-threaded screw hole that was making the bolt that holds down the distributor a bit...

You read the title. I replaced the bearing in the distributor, and when I cranked the x (2004), it was running really shitty. Rather than stop while I was ahead I kept fiddling with the rotor to try and adjust it to make it go right. No bueno, now it's super fucked up. Sorry for being an idiot...

changed my timing belt over the weekend, was running fine at first. but driving home from work yesterday my SEL started flashing. it seems to be idling low. Dianostic at the parts store showed "random misfire". Is it save to drive as is?? I have to be at work in two hours.

Hey all, new member in john's creek, GA (ATL suburb) I LOVE my xterra, it's awesome. So much that I always stare and sometimes wave at other x drivers on the road, especially fellow year-1'ers. I bought it used at 103k from Carmax a few years back, and now it's got about 183k. A oil leak...
