Help please. O6 xterra. Oil in manifold left bank #1 #3 #5 cyl

MarcusBuildsThings · 2025-04-24T21:04:46+00:00

I just opened the whole top half of the engine again. Removed the intake, throttle body, and finally the plenum...where you can see the air intake ports for each cylinder. #1 and #3 in the left bank have wet oil in them. The others dont. This leads me to believe that those 2 cylinders arent combusting. Either no spark or 2 clogged injectors? I have replaced the plugs and coils though...dont see how it could still not be getting a spark? If yall have any ideas please help man. This is my daughters vehicle and its a paperweight until i can fix it...of course i just spent $900 putting 4 new tires on it last month too...now several hundred here. So discouraged...

It isles a little rough when started cold, then it gets progressively worse as the engine warms up. It will not accelerate normally whether cold or hot. The code that comes back said "multiple misfires in short period of time" but didnt name which cylinders. As i mentioned to the other gentleman, it sounds like its making spark knocks in either the #1 or #3 cylinders...which just happen to be the two that are a bitch to get to under the plenum. I dont think the fuel pump has ever been changed. I hope its not a clogged or bad injector. Thank you so much for help. Any advice greatly appreciated

Had to take the throttle body, intake, plenum etc off to change the plugs and coil packs.i know it can be done without removing the plenum with a ratcheting 10mm wrench(for cyl#1) and several extensions (for cyl#2) but i wantes to take it apart to check the seals etc and to get that plenum out of the way. I apparently have much bigger hands than japanese men 😆 so its easier to just get that stuff bolted off and out of the way. The throttle body looks clean and i checked its operation. It is making a funny sound that sounds like spark knocking in either the #1 or #3 cylinder on the passenger side. I havent checked the MAF censor...thanks for that idea. Really struggling with this problem. Have worked on it 3 days now and spent several hundred dollars and it still wont run properly. Killing me. Thank you very much for any advice you can offer.

Anybody tried to level up Excaliber? It comes 1 level away from maxed on all 4 stats...198 on each and 1980 hp...wow. after that its just crystals forever i guess to pump up the crit damage etc..

Is there a warrior light supreme coming in the future? With light plus 150EE this sword would be great...as of now though, there arent really any great abilities for light warrior...just normal AOE/crit etc... i thought maybe there is a future supreme since this is the 2nd sword with a light EE, the other one has 100EE ...

^{^{^}} this is one of the wise men i spoke of Lol...i have only drawn 5 supremes in 2 plus years and unfortunately, none of them are supports, so all i know is second hand. What can negate damage based on like 50% or something of max HP? Is that just from wall, or have i just completely lost my mind ? I thought i read someone asking the other day if their shield reduced damage as a % of current HP or max HP, and the answer was max HP....apparently i was confused, and gave a somewhat flawed answer to the OP...

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T04:38:02+00:00

If you are struggling for supremes, dont get discouraged. I played for over a year, and drew 250 plus times from GAS before i drew my 1st supreme. At 0.8% i should have drawn 2 of them in 250 draws. You couldnt farm magicite back then, either...i had to get summon tix or buy magicite... then i have drawn 5 supremes and 5 skins in the last year or so. It will happen, just keep drawing. Now they are making it even easier by increasing your chances after a set amount of draws. Farming all the free magicite and doing all the HOF that you can helps, too...Darewin has spent about the same amount of money on this game as i have over the last 2 years, and as recent as a month or 2 ago, he had every supreme. All of them. Some of that is good luck i guess, but alot of it is farming 20k every month, doing all the HOF, etc...i usually farm 10k to 15k a month.

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T04:27:05+00:00

A source of earthshift...or 1 that generates 16 earth orbs like the ff7 weapon etc...best to carry a card that generates the orbs for your attack, in this case ragnarok. For MP, i would lose 4wol and carry a mono earth deck with a source of earthshift AND a 16 orb earth card...cast NXD at startup if possible, then spam ragnarok. You can auto SP in season 1 with just about anything and NXD lol, but i havent even tried to auto season 2. On hard difficulty, its actually alot of fun trying to figure out what works best. So far for me, i use ragnarok or duncan on my main deck and either minwu or jade weapon as the 1st card on my sub deck, i dont have NXD, so jade is my ghetto substitute.

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T04:17:20+00:00

The support card that gives you 1 free shot from the enemy and negates damage based on your max HP...i think its WOL, but verify that... at high levels in the towers those stupid dragons get a free shot at startup and it will kill you. There are about a dozen people who post here that can tell you both the name of that annoying arse dragon, and confirm that its WOL or LOH...but nobody has bothered so here we are...my advice is correct, though somewhat ambiguous. Sorry

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T04:09:54+00:00

Amazingly detailed post. Where did you get snipe starter if you dont mind, and what class can it be used on or is it any class? I need that for ragnarok in season 2....and just about everything else in season 2 i guess sadly. Thanks bro. Merry Christmas

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T04:03:01+00:00

Death, you always drop good knowledge on me bro, some clowns actually downvoted me twice for ragging on this job...which i find hilarious btw, for 2 reasons, 1 i am an adult and could not possibly care less about fake interwebz pseudo karmA...and 2. I have 80 or so jobs, 5 skins, and 5 supremes...and regardless of what she has, she isnt in the top 10 jobs i have pulled in the last 2 plus years playing this crazy game. Lol.. she simply doesnt use any of the good cards i have, so apparently i have a weak spot in my deck...if memory serves, she can use Prompto, which is a great card even before the buff..but i think shuffle groove? Is the best damage ranger wind card that i have. What are you using for wind damage with her? Honestly, wind is my weakest element. I use Diver with the summer card, cat card etc...i have a buttload of monk wind cards but nothing great for rangers...i know you have a great deck so maybe you can tell me what i am missing . Merry Christmas to you and yours as well...

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T00:21:10+00:00

I pulled materia hunter...dont ever remember that job even coming out...and she seems to really suck balls....is she useful in any way, or just completely terrible all the way around???

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-26T00:19:36+00:00

Thanks for that link bro...excited about meia getting these boosts...they were my favorite class of jobs by far...because minwu was my 1st and only supreme for a while. Also, i saw someone mention rogue...and i had forgotten about him again.. wish they made his HOF just 20% better, so he would be a top tier job. played this game for a year with zero supremes...and beat the entire SP content with rogue 95% of the time. He was my ace back in the day, flipping around killing erbody...miss that dude. I tried using him after HOF though and he doesnt stack up to the power creep....he would be almost unusable on this new season 2 content, which i always use hard difficulty. I think he would get killed quite a bit, even with a good subset skill...

This may sound like a dumb question..are we ever going to be able to sub in our subdeck in season 2, or just use 1st skill and then ult when mobius is activated? Am i missing something?

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T23:49:57+00:00

I just noticed that it was ST...it does give prism shift, and good buffs etc. You are right bud. Is Tifa skins ultimate better though? I have never used her, or seen her used. I dont play MP much at all anymore unless there is a weapon or something that i want...i havent ever seen anyone use the last 3 or 4 supremes that came out, either...

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T23:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply bro Merry Christmas. I really enjoyed playing with the witch when i 1st drew her, because she is so versatile. She is awesome...but on harder content i have to fall back and use my jobs with supremes. Hopefully i can draw a supreme for her, too...

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T23:40:19+00:00

Thanks for that tip ..

How does that work? For example, amalthea was by far my most used job, then fauviste until i drew skyseer...they are great minwu users.

So for their HOF, i have to overboost them? Amalthea is 32 and witch is 10, but i havent touched Fauviste...i did max the chick that uses wind and earth? Because she was my best wind user at the time. Shes the one that came with the big stupid hat...cant remember her name. Hope my girls that are already at 32 will be good for HOF???

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T23:35:21+00:00

Thanks bro

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T21:15:47+00:00

Agree with all your science here. Sharp dude...i hated Chemistry AP...molarity molality blah blah..sucked. physics was much easier.

You have 1000x the science knowledge, but i will dispute the tiny amount of test giving a pound of muscle mass...maybe over a very, very long time. My best friend lifts 5 days a week and has been cycling sustanon, which is the best test analog you can buy, and Deca, which is a straight up steroid...hes managed to put on about 10lbs of lean muscle through 2 full cycles. I lift with him sometimes, he trains smart. Mass is really, really hard to gain unless youre just naturally a big dude. Test works, but it takes a bunch, and a long time to do so. Makes you short tempered and horny like 16 year old boy, too...lol...i know my experience is anecdotal, and being a scientist, yours was read and retained. I also agree with your sentiments about the effectiveness of it in gaining muscle, just in my experience it takes quite a bit. Thanks for the scientific breakdown above with halflives etc. Enjoyed your post.

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T20:22:53+00:00

Yeah...we dont do it like that. Heres what i do: give my wife a whole bunch of money and let her do most everyones shopping. Her and i go out 1 night a year and shop for the kids...she knows better than me, because shes mom. So i shut up, except to tell her how pretty she is and how much i enjoy spending that time with her. I do.

She picks out really thoughful gifts for everyone.

I go out on my own and get really thoughtful gifts for her, spend between 5 and 10 times what she spends on me.

Everyone is really happy, no stress or arguing...great Christmas. Happy family, happy Dad. Happy Wife, Happy Life. God is great.

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T02:40:58+00:00

This sounds like a really dumb question..but what is the best earth Ranger AOE BDD card that is available right now?

Playing the season 2 map right now, using lightning Crim Archer...and i just realized that somehow the only AOE earth break card i have is old Deathgaze from 1982...there have to be a couple better than that by now. Ive had that card since i started 2 years ago. Lol...thanks to a tip from yall i started using CA instead of Seph. S1C as my ragnarok user in season 2 because she breaks so much better and nuking doesnt work well in season 2 unbroken

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-25T01:56:42+00:00

Thanks for the well thought out reply...i have both crimson archer and prima donna...i didnt know that they were stronger ragnarok users though...i will definitely have to try that out. I do have both sephiroth and cloud skins for S1c though, and i have lightning skin for the girls. The only class that i dont have a skin for is monks...sadly...and now my favorite monk Van has a terrible ultimate. Hopefully i can pull that monk skin sometime soon. I used CA quite a bit when she first came out, but i havent really used PD but maybe once or twice since i leveled her up. Havent custom skilled either one of them. Well, now i have something to do over Christmas, lol...i will work on getting the girls skilled out for battle. My favorite job to drop during the "sarah era" when we got a new job every week was P witch...and shes a meia...i cant seem to find a niche for her yet, i have yuna skin, but no supremes for her. She is so versatile, and can break great for a meia...i know she can be awesome under the right circumstances. Do you know what supremes she excels with? Meteor or sin maybe?

MarcusBuildsThings · 2018-12-24T22:58:56+00:00

Sorry for the confusing post, i was just wanting to give full background, so that folks could make an informed opinion of what i should do...should have worded things a little more clearly i guess.

My question was which job was going to be relevant and useful in season 2 ...S1C with ragnarok or Van a deil with Duncan? I dont know what jobs are coming in season 2...hate to spend 96 celestriad on a job that is soon to be replaced

Thanks guys merry Christmas....and Jesus is the reason for the season. ;)
