Hi i have a 98 Pathfinder 3.3L. I inspected the bottom inside of distributor (under the coil) and the shaft only had about half the ball bearings in it. Could this cause random misfires in all cylinders, P0300 code? The plate that covers the bearings was broken off/loose too. Thanks!
@adrianzamora6785 No, it should spin freely. However, you must mark it before you let it spin. Otherwise, you'll have to turn the Engine to Dead Center (0) in order to tune the distributor correctly. To avoid that, mark it and try not to spin it crazily..
Great video! I've seen other videos when they use a Timing Light tool after installing a new distributor, is it necessary to do so or can one get away without using that tool as long as the lines are aligned correctly and the car drives with no issue?
Hell yea Amazon is def the way to go . I looked at the major auto parts store and pretty much same price range 400 or better ......rightttttt i paid 400 for it . I checked on Amazon found aftermarket one for 64.99 / 70 and sone change . Way better than 400 ^ up

Awesome. Thank You 🙏🏾
A very common job almost every Xterra owner will need to do at some point!
So true 👍
Very good. Excellent walk through on this installation.
Thank You. Appreciate your feedback

It is possible. My advice to you is to change the whole distributor. They're not expensive. Less than $100.
Experienced this at 181k miles on my 2000 Xterra.
This is normal. Change it and you're good for the next 180k
Was your car accelerating jumpy? Is that why you replaced it ? Please let me know.
@@rtroeun That's a common symptom yes. The timing advance could be off
Thanks for your video, helped me a lot.
Glad this was helpful 🙌🏾
Put back in exactly like the old one comes out

Hello..what happen if the spiner spin freely?the distribuitor is broken?

Hello thanks for answering me back.i found out the spinner was loose because the little screw who hold it in place was out of place.
Excellent video thanks.
Glad this was helpful

If you follow the steps in the video. You dont need it and will be fine
@@JuniorTLafaillethank you so much and have a blessed day!
How do you know which is number one if you mess up is it on the right side of motor
You leave them in the cap and then plug them accordingly afterwards.
What size bold is the one used to tighten the distributor down? Because mine got lost
It's a 13 I believe.

What are the symptoms. My 02 Se 2wd auto has a wandering idle when cold. Up and down and sometimes shoots high. Does ok after warmed up.
You may have clogged air filters or bad injectors
@@JuniorTLafaille It was a improperly installed/tuned throttle position sensor.
@@bbear3763 I hope you tuned it better
@@JuniorTLafaille A real mechanic did 😂
That tool is called a swivel. That is called a rotor not a rotator.
Appreciate it fam🙌🏾
Yeah and how does the after market ones hold up ??
It's basically the same as the factory one. No problem so far.
@@JuniorTLafaille well did u have a problem with original
@@lesrinehart933 yes, it went out.

my distributor sensor is giving me a really tough time coming off, how did you safely cut yours?
There's a button on the side or the bottom you can squeeze
@@JuniorTLafaille 1:20 you said you cut yours, im not seeing a button but mine may have broke
@@theblarfangar8924 I had to cut it
My 02xterra distributor doesn’t want to sit flush or bottom out any advice?
Maybe the bolt is messed up
@@JuniorTLafaille did yours drop completely down or was there a small gap until you tightened it
@@scottyfixer452 it dropped down completely, sitting in with no gap.

What was the reason why you changed it out? Was the car acting funny ?
Yes it was.
Very good video. Thanks for the information!!
