2007 Nissan Xterra Off Road - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Engine revs in park
This is called hunting. Can be caused by a bad mass air flow sensor. Could also be a sticking idle air control valve.
2005 Nissan Murano steering wheel freeze
something is wrong with the fan belt if mechanical pump is used ,if its a electric motor type on the steering column then it could have a fault with this unit ,if you have been to a back street garage and had the tracking adjusted and only one track end rod was adjusted this will throw the centralised position out and this will make the inbuilt computer throw a wobbly but as iam not a dealer fitter i am unfamilar with the system layout of this vehicle
Front passenger side thumping at very low speeds
check if you tires have rayon cords or steel belts. this is a problem associated with the older tyres that had rayon cords as the main structure of the tyre. When left standing after running and allowed to cool the rayon belts actually took on a flat spot on the bottom and the noise lasted until the tyre warmed up enough for the tyre pressure to make the tyre round again. In extreme cold it may be the same for steel belted radials as the flat bottom of the tyre would hold the shape until the rubber warmed up .
When my car nissan xterra is warmed the engine
I have a customer with a 2000 Nissan Xterra 3.3 liter V6 with 180k miles. He stated that while driving on the highway the vehicle is fine. Once he exits the highway and drove on surface streets the engine stumbles, sputters and shuts down when he stops. The fuel pump is located under the right side rear seat. I removed the inspection cover to view the electrical connections. No problem there. I drove the vehicle for approx 20 minutes and it hesitated a little but not enough for me to come to a good conclusion. I needed the engine to heat up some more so I drove to Panda Express for lunch. I got my lunch to go, return to the vehicle and started the engine to eat while the engine idled. After my lunch was over I drove back to my customer's house. On the way God bless me with what I was searching for...the engine started to sputter. To shorten this story I replaced the distributor with a brand new assembly from AutoZone($233.65). Once I removed the factory distributor I spun it by hand and that's when I could feel that bearings were rough & worn.
Problem solved and my customer is happy.

Bad or leaking fuel injectors will also cause misfires. Rent a noid light test kit from the parts store to make sure the are all getting the signal to fire, and the ohm them out individually to see if they are within spec. ill bet yo fine one bad one

The girlfriend was riving my 2002 xterra. she said
what do you mean by the starter will not. do you mean engage turn over or does it turn over and wont start because the fuel pump and starter have nothing in common. first of all what were your codes set and second if it turns over see if you can smell full and third if it doesn't engage at all she probally ran the battery down so try charging your batt or you can put a dvom meter on it and it should read 12.6 volts full charged 12.4 3/4 12.3 50% which will not start the car so if its any thing below 12.3 charge the batt .

Will not go into gear
More information would be helpful. What type of transmission? What have you done to diagnose it so far? Intermittent or always?
Kill switch
What is the model year and engine size (even though I don't think it will make an difference)? I don't believe that there is a "kill switch" per se. Why are you asking? Do you have power to any of the vehicles systems or accessories (lights, horn, etc.)?
