Some Nissan Pathfinder owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle cranks but won't start after adjustments to ignition and throttle body sensors. Common causes include improperly connected or faulty battery cables, which can prevent the vehicle from starting. Additionally, some owners find that inspecting relays is crucial, especially since there was a recall issued for relays, and swapping the ECM and fog lamp relays may help troubleshoot the issue. Engine management problems, particularly with cam or crank position sensors, can also lead to a no-start condition. Furthermore, owners should check that all fuses are intact and investigate potential ignition or fuel delivery issues, possibly using a temporary fuel pressure gauge. Lastly, if ignition adjustments were made, ensuring that the key is programmed correctly is essential, as a scan tool may be needed for reprogramming.
