I have had issues where the fuel pump looses its earth contact. Somewhere I read where a member had made up an earth kit for his 35. I have just done it for my C34.

Ok tah.

I'll suggest that to see if it may be a possibility in this case...

Hopefully its nothing to serious, or tedious

Nothing new as of yet..

Would it be worth trying to check the ECU Fault Codes for anything?

It couldn't hurt or make anything worse so I'd give it a shot. If something has died or gone wrong it may assist you in pin pointing where to look.

Well, I'm not going to get a chance to do it tonight...

We had our Mechanic friend come around and have a look, and they checked over everything, and fuel seems to be getting to the engine, and the pump is working fine, but it is something else.

Either way, we'll try and see what codes (if any) we can extract from the car...

I read another thread where the AFM had died?

Anyone think this could be the case in mine?

It seems like it's something stupid that died, because Dad got it started after putting fuel in, it was Mum who tried starting it later, then it wouldn't start...

It's up on dad's hoist at the moment, so we can check it all out...

May sound like a stupid question, but I'm not in front of my car, and I don't know them all that well, but where do I locate the AFM?

(yes I am car noob)

Going to go check it out in about an hour...

See if I can get any codes out or anything else...

Hi Guys,

Well we checked the AFM, didn't do shit.

Got the code out of the ECU, I cant remember as my memory is shocking, but it was either one of the following

P0120 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction

P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Played round with a few other things relating to the code, but still nothing

Anyway, ended up getting it tilt-trayed to the Auto-Electrician, as its sorta becoming beyond our knowledge of what it might be...

f**k.

Try re-seating the plug on the throttle body? Give it a light tap also, in case the contacts on the tps are dirty. Then try resetting the ecu? Failing that I would have to suggest Nissan. :blink:

Scott....how do you have time to be on SAU!!! :)

Checked for blown fuses?

Yeah checked that. All appeared to be fine

Yeah gave that a bit of a go.

Bit lost and confused really lol...

See how the Auto-Electrician goes. Hopefully he find something silly that I've missed.

I would clear the codes and try again. see if it spits out the same code again.

It's in the hands of the Auto-Electrician now, so I cant do anything atm.

i have a spare throttle body if you need it!

I'll keep that in mind mate. Appreciate it.

No word from the Auto-Electrician at the moment...

I'm just hoping the issue is not something super f**ked up.

Just to let you guys know, the car has been fixed. It's running, driving all ok...

I haven't been told what the issue was yet, he was just doing some final checkovers, idling was down, so just waiting till its all working to find out.

I'll let you guys know what it is, for everyone else's future reference (in case its an issue no one has experience)

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
