Need help with cylinder #2 misfire
Hello,
Started my PF up this morning and it did not run right and get a cylinder #2 misfire code. After looking into I found the this (see pictures) mangled and am guessing this is the problem. Also there was quite a bit of shredded foam in and around the plug. I think this was something I ran over on the road maybe since I cannot find anything similar anywhere in or around the engine. What is the mangled part called and can I buy a new one and replace it? The first pic is of the mangled one, the second is of one in good shape. Would I just cut into the plastic cable shroud to rewire a new part? Thanks |

I figured out that I need a fuel injector pigtail but no auto parts stores near me carry them. Does anyone know if the dealer will have these or should I just order one online and wait for it to arrive?

there's no doubt those bare wires are the problem causing the misfire. i can see one wire completely broken off from the connector. you will definitely need a new harness with connector. you can talk to a Nissan dealer parts dept. the alternative to that is if you can find a good injector harness in a salvage yard for your model. sometimes parts can go back 1 year and forward 2 yrs. so compare the # of pins and wires and same color with your model. you then splice using a heat shrink and wrap in electrical tape. when splicing cut one wire at a time so there's no confusion.

I will be calling a Nissan dealer tomorrow and if they are out I can order 1 here. There are only 2 wires and I know which one goes where. 1998 NISSAN PATHFINDER Wiring Connectors and Pigtails - Fuel injector connector pigtail Wire Connector Style - V6 Engine Type - SummitRacing.com |

Looks to me like rodent damage! Mice love Nissan wiring; I think they make the insulation out of cheese! I had a guy with a 95 Maxima who's engine wiring I had to fix 3 times in a 6-month span due to mice chewing it up.

That would make sense with all the small foam pieces I found in the area. I really don't think the foam came from the car but I will post some pics in a bit.

It's fixed now. My local dealer gave me a clip and it runs fine now. |
