Wow , thank you scotty for cleaning the lense.

Hi Scotty I am a Technician at Nissan, the problem is with the Camshaft sensors at bank one and bank two, the oil passes through the connector and shorts them out, eventually you will get the check engine light on for those sensors… When replacing the bank one (right side cam sensor) make sure you remove the Cam and not the Crank sensor because they are close together.

At this point, Scotty is the only mechanic I can trust.

Scotty’s best fix is always “pray”.

Found a local mechanic who is like Scotty. Tells me the truth and doesn't over-charge me. Had a problem with my transmission. With OBD II device I figured out it didn't need a new transmission. But it still might need a new computer module for around $300 plus labour. My mechanic hooked up his expensive scan tool. Did some tweaking. End result, $65 labour and the thing is fine. A good mechanic is worth his weight in gold.

The 4.0 liter with 5 speed combos were mostly bulletproof. Fantastic trucks.

Regular oil changes help the timing chain last a long time. My Xterra with a 4.0 had about 230k miles when I sold it and the timing chain made no noise at all.

No repairman is ever going to recommend the easiest/cheapest solution. That is not how businesses stay profitable. Trust no one, especially when money is involved.

i had an 07 Frontier with a similar problem, turned out it just needed new ignition coils. that was a GREAT truck! made it 300k miles without any major repairs aside from this before i wrecked it

I've had my 2005 Pathfinder since it was brand new (same color as this one) and it would occasionally run rough and suddenly stall out on me. I finally got an error code and it turned out to be one of the two camshaft position sensors. Other than that, it's been a good truck. They have lots of horror stories but, I've been somewhat fortunate. Fingers crossed!

This one was really interesting. I liked seeing the process of actually checking layer by layer where the issue might be.

My 2005 pathfinder had same thing around 150k miles 2019 had to get rid of because it was total in unrelated car accident, it lasted up to 275k miles and was still kicking. Loved that car

I had a 2003 Dodge Neon, and after 40k miles, developed a clank clank clank noise at low speed from the driver's side front wheel. Took it to a chain store mechanic who charged me for a new half shaft and install. Didn't work. Refused to give me a refund. Went to the dealer who charged me a hundred and fifty dollar diagnostic fee. They determined the bushings were shot on the control arms, so the control arms would need to be replaced. Maybe the steering box, too. Minimum $850, up to $1700. Before I committed to anything, my Dad, an electrical and mechanical engineer with thirty years in the job, with a lot of crappy used cars under his belt, insisted I bring it by so he could give me a second opinion. As he was getting the floor jack and jack stands together, I went to loosen the lug nuts. I fell flat on my face, they were so loose. The chain store mechanics who charged me for the half shaft took off the wheel during inspection for some reason, and didn't tighten the lug nuts when putting it back on, and they became looser and looser until the wheel began to clank. Neither the chain store idiots or the dealer who charged cash money for a diagnostic bothered to take off the wheel to take a look before scamming me hard. Take my vehicles to local business who have customers I trust, now. Also do a lot more of my own maintenance and repair.

I love these recent videos with the fancy scan tool and hard to find problems, I’m getting into mechanics myself and these are packed full of very good information!

OMG, I once rebuild a whole engine with that problem, turns out I just had to replace the tensioner!

Another thing to look out for with grinding sensation when driving is the driveshaft support bearing if its a two piece driveshaft. They're usually bolted to the frame and when they start to go, you definitely feel it.

Loved the granular analysis of the data!

Oh scotty you're such a breath of fresh air!

best video ever Scotty,you go down deep in the problem,and diagnosed it correctly thank youuuu
