I have a 87 Nissan Pathfinder V-6

It was driven up till the exhaust went and I parked it 3 yrs ago...

I really want to get this thing back to life but I cannot get it to start now. Here is what I have done so far.

- Drained the old bad gas out really really yellow stuff

- Drained the lines

- Found the new Gas I added smelled more like bad gas the fresh stuff redrained it again.

- re drained the lines

- I cleaned the plugs they still look new as I put then in just before I put it away...

- The Fuel pump is working--

- Truck fires up when gas is added through the carb--but wont run on its own.

- Took the carb/throttle body off cleaned it still nothing

- Added a bit of oil to the cylinders

Anyone having any suggestions feel free to help me out.... This Pathfinder was good to me so I would really like it back =)

Thanks

Hey did anyone ever resolve the issue. We just got a 87 pathfinder and are having the same issue. It will start if gas is poured into the carb. Just wondering if it was your fuel pump. The are spendy we have gone to junk yards with no luck. Anyone got suggestions we are open

I had the same problem so i put a boat tank in the back and hooked it up to the fuel lines and the truck ran. I changed the fuel pump and the filter and it worked cost 130 for the pump and 13 for the filter. Good luck
