my z is running on safty boost down to a code 34 det sensor fault only prob is i cant locate it on mine the area it the manual says the det sensor is supposed to plug in,on mine there is nothing (see pictures) i have to 2 pin looms in that area both go into white sheathed cable and run to the back of the engine in to round sensors the only other is a 3 pin wire which connects down the left side somwhere the only other connection is at rear left of plenham (also in pics) mine is a series1 uk spec many thanks for any help

common mistake.

 

The left VTC solenoids (one of the 2 round "sensors" at the back of your engine) is connected to the det sensor plug.

the wire that is now connected to it should be connected to a plug at the left side of the engine, which is now probably just hanging there.

it should be near a 3 wire connector (black/red/white) just like the other 3 wire connector that is on the picture

 

BTW: the 3 wire connectors with the black/red/white cables are from your o2-sensors

 

the real det. sensor connector should be somewhere at the back of your engine or it has broken of ?

thanks for the help on that one just been and checked the right side of the engine there are 2 2pin plugs on the same loom as the 02 sensor on the right side one connects to a connecter on the one turbo pipe the other plugs into insulation wire wrapped cables that go off to what looks like centre rear of the engine is it possible someone revesed the vtc valve and det senor wires?

yes kev if you mean the plugs have been pluged wrong way round

thats what i mean as in vtc plugged into det wire and det sensor into vtc wire i know my engine has been out so its possible some roadside mechanic put it together wrong

thanks everyone for your help swapped vtc and det wires back to how they should be reset ecu and boost now throws me back in seat nice

:dance: :dance: Excellent. That was a easy cheap fix.

could have done with that extra boost on the rolling road yesterday

Just out of intrest what was your Z making in safe mode?

in safty mode it hit 5 psi which is the halfway line on + side of the gauge
