A friend who is a professional mechanic came out and said I have good spark plugs and I have spark, but I need a new fuel pump. I replaced that with a good quality one. The new pump is working and you can hear it turning on, processing the fuel and putting it back into the tank. The vehicle still did not start. Then I researched more online and also asked my friend about the issue- which gave me the answer to check the fuel lines again, replace fuel filter and if all else fails... use starter fluid to get it started. Checked fuel pump/hoses again, replaced fuel filter. No start. Used starting fluid to tart vehicle and lo and behold it stats but dies after the starter fluid is burned up. So, it seems that fuel is not getting to the final destination?
There is plenty of new Non-E gas in it and newer air filter.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1992 Nissan Pathfinder. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Next step is renting or buying a fuel pressure testing gauge. Most auto parts stores have this. Then you will have a final answer to whether or not fuel is getting to the rail. The pump may be faulty and not be supplying enough pressure.
