I got it!
Dear
Richard... I had a friend
to "just happened"
to be in a junk yard
on Sunday I picked up
an instrument cluster
for a 94 Nissan ( I
have a 91). After a
careful dissection all
the way down to the
temperature gauge, I
did an R & R with
the gauge from the 94,
and with baited breath,
started it up. IT ALL
WORKS!--THE THERMOSTAT
OPENS AT AROUND 85C,
THE COOLING FAN COMES
ON, AND THE TEMPERATURE
GAUGE WORKS!!!! I would
be in a quandary now
otherwise--There were
so many puzzling things
about the car (wrong
wire colors, no electrical
continuity where there
should be, etc.) So
this is a very happy
ending to a long journey.
Thanks
for all your help!

for the help

Finally
a success!!! A wire
was loose at the EEC
relay and the relay
itself was bad. Your
detailed wiring diagram
and assistance really
works!

Hello
Rich...
It
is now Dec. 20.07 and
I am happy to report
that we have solved
the problem. Following
our last e-mail, I took
your advice and drove
for a couple days with
a fuel pressure gauge
in the window of the
vehicle. Whenever the
problem showed up, it
seemed there was a temporary
interruption in fuel
pressure, and the pressure
would drop below 60
psi to about 56 or 57
psi, and then it would
recover. Still believing
deep down we were dealing
with a fuel problem,
we changed the fuel
pump, and found a badly
clogged intake screen
on the old pump. The
clog appeared to be
sand, dirt, sludge,
corruption!. At any
rate the truck is running
very well now and has
been for 200 + kilometers.
Success!!
Thank
you for your attention
and help, and we will
talk to you next time.

RICHARD...you
should have been here
to see the smile on
the wife's face
when for the first time
in months; she could
signal when turning!
The
A/C lower fan speeds
are working again! We
no longer have to use
a
pencil to shift the
console transmission
lever out of park! The
anti-lock brakes
aren't pulsating and
as a family we fill
like we are no longer
living in fear that
the next intersection
will reveal a not so
understanding police
officer!
A
thousand Thankyou's
Richard for nailing
the source of this puzzling
problem
down and pointing me
in the right direction
as to the successful
repair!

It's
fixed!
I
have 0.08 volt at the
ecm (engine computer)
and 1.2 volts at the
map sensor terminals
and obviously the wire
has a short!
I
cheated and replaced
the wire and now it
works fine with no codes
with the same voltage
end to end! I will chase
the harness in the next
week or so and find
the culprit to prevent
further damage to others.
Thanks
for your help... Your
email and wiring diagram
really helped!

sent me down a different

and I thank you . Sometimes
you just get too focused,
and you need to step
back and take a different
approach.
thanks again.

ATS
works and SAVED me
money...
Hi
Rich,
I replaced the plugs
and the MISS IS GONE!
Old plugs look good.
This engine was running
rough like my corvette
which does it when a
plug fuel fouls. I almost
changed my $300 camshaft
actuator but your advice
saved me over $200.
I could have done this
myself but the advice
you gave made it quicker
for me.
I would recommend ATS
to my fellow technicians
because it's like having
a spare brain in desperate
times! The instructions
are simple and practical
that even ordinary folks
can understand.
Thanks again,
