oops, sorry mate - thats exactly what it is - I didnt realise the after market boost gauge tapped into there. Lymon, I will try that and give it a run at 4 oclock hopefully my friend you've saved my ass Does this now mean the 42 error will not affect the car? the ones I now leave unplugged - do I do anything with them or just leave them out the way for now?

...

Lymon, the green pipe you have show in mine on the left hand entrance/exit if you get my meaning has a t junction in and splits and the pipe goes to somewhere down the drivers side behind the fusebox?

Lymon, thanks for the pic - the pipe in green is split on mine I'll run out and have a look now

Lymopn, you say ptu fail but im getting error 42 wouldnt a different error code show for ptu fialure. I have cleaned ptu connections just to be sure but fault still persists. I cant really follow them diags as the pipe from the manifold is different in mine, it has a t junction and has been split and runs off somewhere else (thats if Im looking at the correct part).

Just seen that link mate, Im not sure I follow it - is that a permanent recommended fix? can it cause any other damage?

It seems fine then starts stuttering, then I pull over and to keep engine running I have to pump throttle but its runs very lumpy still stuttering, then eventually it dies. Leave it all switched for 5-10 mins - starts up again and Im fine for another mile. Reset ECU and it came back with a 42 code after doing what I just explained.

right then, can I temporarily to prove fault put a resistor of a certain ohmage in line to earth. car has just died on me again. Error 42 I left cable to sensor disconnected and car runs ok for about 2 mins then dies again?!!?? perhaps it works out it needs a resistance when temp is warm. Nissan have none in and Im in for a big trip tomorrow. Is there an aftermarket one I can fit if not? I can fit a resistor this aft if its going to temporarily cure problem Thanks

Dave, what did you stick the wire down with?

Andy - you could have a look at my thread for me regarding disconnecting fts ;) and I'll send ya a badge or whatever ya want matey

As per previous thread I have been getting Fuel Temp Sensor probs. As was, the single wire connector broke on top of the sensor (the spade came off). Now this would obviously give me problems, but When it was disconnected car seemed to run ok? (it was only a short distance). Now is the sensor putting a voltage out or does it just work on resistance? Also, if wire is disconnected, would the resistance/voltage be so low ignition timings retard, etc. Does the ECU work out water temp is warm so fuel temp resistance but me at a certain OHMs.? I just want to prove if its sensor or wiring.

so, anyone in sheffield area able to fit /spray mine?

got mine too just gotta find someone local and cheap(ish) to fit and spray :) spoiler looks mint mate

Cheers John

I keep getting error 42 (Fuel temp sensor) I have found by moving the wires on the top passenger side of engine (bit vague I know) near middle plug I can get car running again. Now there is a single black sleeved wire (brown in middle I think going to a sensor) - is this the fuel temp sensor. There is also a 2 plugged wire going to another sensor right beside it - whats this one? Thanks

I got one too, great alarm but I have the microwave perimeter sensor fitted, great until it rains . . . . then I cant get the bloody thing to stop chirping!!

Are they downloadable? I wouldnt mind one I seem to be replacing every part in the car

bad news mate they want their arms cutting off then a public flogging!!! b'stards

Anyone recommend a good bodyshop in sheffield I need that new rear spoiler fitting and spraying up :)
