| Description of the problem | I was driving at 45 mph and pressed the gas. It was early sunday morning, very light traffic. I pressed the gas pedal to accelerate and did not hear the engine respond. I looked at my gauges and the tachometer was at 0. I realized the engine was not running. I tried revving the gas pedal but nothing happened. I managed to guide my car off the road into an entrance road to a business. I put the car in park and attempted to start it. The engine turned over but would not catch. The gas gauge showed a quarter of a tank and no light was on. I called my wife and she brought a gas can. I poured it the gas. The car immediately started. I went to a gas station. The car took 19 gallons. The capacity was 20 gallons so the car was empty. I have been monitoring since. On a typical week my car is slightly under half a tank. This week my car was a little bit under three quarter 3/4 full. The trip odometer showed i had gone 174 miles. I filled up the car and it took 11. 3 gallons. This indicate the tank is almost exactly 1/4 off. I was very lucky when the car stalled i could pull off safely. I have seen many post on the internet regarding this issue on this year car. What has to happen to get this addresses? This is the same problem as the frontier and pathfinder and xterra are having for the same year. They all have the same 3. 5 liter engine. Any one checking to see if the quest has the same fuel pump/sender assembly? The similarities are just to obvious. |
