Frontier 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 113,000 miles
My fuel pump in my Nissan Frontier (1999 V6 4X4) failed as a result of problems with the plastic component (fuel sending) that was connected to the pump shorting out. According to a thread at www.voy.com/14174/7/21669.html this is a widespread problem with Nissan Frontiers and xterra's which share these components.
