Seeking Advice on 2013 Nissan Pathfinder: Fuel Pressure Sensor or Other Issue?

Hey there, funny enough I had a somewhat similar issue with my 2011 Nissan Rogue last year. Right off the bat, I'm a casual gearhead, got some experience under my belt but nowhere near a mechanic level yet. Like you, I was getting check engine lights and weird power loss. Took it to my local workshop, got it diagnosed and found that the cable connections were defective. Managed to get it all solved for around 155 Euro, and it did the job. But hey, let me tell you, cars can be tricky! It might be a fuel pressure sensor on your end as you suggested. Have you managed to get any specific error codes? Have you noticed these symptoms happening after fueling at a specific place or all the time? More info could help point us in the right direction. So yeah, my advice would be to get your cable connections checked out, A thorough diagnosis might root out the issue. Hope this helps and keep us updated!

Hey, appreciate the detailed response! The car is indeed a tricky beast; like owning a different type of pet during these times. I haven’t noticed a direct correlation with fueling places, mainly happens all the time regardless. No error codes as well. In addition to the possible fuel pressure sensor issue, a local mechanic suggested O2 sensor or MAF sensor as plausible culprits too. But yeah, getting a comprehensive checkup sounds like a viable way forward before blindly diving into individual parts. Just FYI, my Pathfinder's crossed the 117,083 KM mark and hasn't had any notable issues till this point. Just completed its latest service and everything was looking dandy then. This situation has sprung up pretty randomly! Will take your advice and get those cable connections checked out. I'll keep you all posted with updates. Cheers for the help!

Hey! Good to hear back from you! It's always a bummer when your car starts acting up, especially after cruising through a recent service. About the O2 or MAF sensor, your mechanic could be on the right track there. I've heard those can cause some strange symptoms when they're on the fritz. But, since there are no specific error codes, it’s still a wild hunch, to be honest. I definitely think getting a complete diagnostic is the right step. Just think of it as a full-body checkup for your car. And trust me, sometimes the answer lies in the most unsuspecting spots. I mean, who would've thought my Rogue's power loss issue was due to faulty cable connections? Never in my wildest dreams! Anyway, keep us in the loop. Your experiences will surely help others in this forum who might face the same issues in the future. Here's to quick fixes and less headaches!

Absolutely, who knew cars had their own form of sniffles and fevers! It's always a journey figuring out the cure. And yeah, the irony of the situation right after a smooth service run does sting a bit. You're spot on with the wild hunch part. It’s a whole lot of guessing game until it isn’t, hoping the diagnostic will clear up the air. Honestly, the story with your Rogue gives me hope. If it can be something as unassuming as cable connections on my end too, then it's definitely a blessing in disguise! Will get that diagnostic set up and chip away at this mystery. Sharing updates as things unfold is the least I can do, happy to help fellow gearheads dodge or handle similar curveballs. Fingers crossed, this journey ends with less headaches indeed! Cheers!
