Ok I have a 95 r33 gts-t and it has a faulty temp sensor I know this because I didi the diagnostic and thats what came up. After about three to four starts I always have to go under the hood and reconnect the sensor then it starts right away f0r three to 4 starts again. Can anyone help with this prob I live in the Bahamas and the new sensor is goin to take awhile to get here. I wanted to know if there is anyway to bypass or leave this sensor unplugged without the car failing to start? If so how do I do this and why does this sensor being unplugged cause the car to not start?

I don't know the specifics of the temp sensor but I imagine that when not connected then the ECU will think that the temperature is either maximum or minimum within its temperature range due to having no voltage.

Whichever way the reading is wrong, the temperature of where you are probably isn't close enough to the ECU's idea of what the temp is, and so the mixture will be too rich or lean. Think of trying to start an old car in cold weather without putting the choke on.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
