Hey guys, I had to replace the coil on #4, and when I took the sensor under the tb off, the metal gasket and the o-ring came off. I was working at night, and had light, and the metal gasket was right there on the valve cover, no problem there. But no amount of looking with a flashlight could find the o-ring. So I can only assume it flew off into an alternate universe! Does any one know where I can get another? I had to be at work the next morning so I bolted everything back up and it seems to be running fine, but I'm sure the o-ring is there for a reason. Didn't have any rtv sealant around either. Not really happy about having to pull everything back out again after work, but I hate things not being right. So any help would be appreciated. And it's my only car, so I can't pull it off and go to the hardware store and find one that fit's. Already ruled that out.

You could try contacting a dealer, but my hunch is that they won't sell you only the o-ring. I've seen o-ring sets at auto parts stores that may do the trick, where they give you a whole assortment:

If you have wrecking yards or someone parting out a similar year Pathfinder or QX4 (search Craigslist), they may sell you just the ring too.

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably just go to the hardware store and buy several that look close. Thank's for the link too. I'll probably get that just to have around. Could come in handy.
