I have a 2005 nissan pathfinder that started having issues. It would randomly stall out then have a rough start and vdc off light would come on as well as slip light and check engine. I looked online for issues and there were so many different diagnoses. Mine ended up needing both driver and passenger camshaft sensors and a fuel pump assembly. I hope this post helps someone out.. :mike

Good info! A lot of times, multiple dash lights can mean a failing battery or alternator, but in your case, it was a bigger deal.

Good catch, welcome aboard!

I was going to create a post about this myself. First time post from a new member BTW- Hello!
So I just purchased and 08 Pathfinder with 90k on the clock. It ran fine all the way home then the next day started stalling at lights, VDC/Slip came on, ran rough and was burning excess fuel. I did the basic maf sensor and TB cleaning, and it got a little better. Then later that day found a hose from the Evap check valve to motor was broken and rotted. Replaced that and things got really good. I decided to run some SeaFoam in the oil and the gas after I found out the vehilce had sat idle for almost 4 months. After about 100 miles of driving- and it runs perfect.
I got alot of advice from this page. So thanks!

Only issue now is a idle dip when sitting at the lights. And AZHitman- you have quite a collection. Im in North Phoenix- hope to see some of that vintage stuff rolling around!
