Welcome to Nico!

Do some searches for "EGR", "evap", and "charcoal" in the Pathfinder/QX4 forum. This forum has seen its share of EGR problems, so it wouldn't be prudent of me to try to post links to all of them here :) Solutions have varied quite a bit and are subjective. For some folks, blowing out the lines and putting fuel filters on the lines to catch future charcoal chunks was all that was needed. Others have had to replace the entire system to hunt down the ghost.
