Hello sau(: , I have found out that my rb25det equipped s14 does not have a maf sensor. Guy that I bought it off of said the maf was going bad so everytime you go to turn the car on you have to disconnect the connector that connects to the TPS sensor and another wire. I searched and searched everywhere where a maf would be, but nope no where. But then I came to the conclusion that it might have another sensor that reads air temp or measures it, as it has a Haltech pro plug in Ecu. Which can use other sensors rather then sticking to the maf. So where should I check, do to figure out this problem? Any help would be much appreciated guys. Need to figure this out so I can skip to other things. ( I uploaded a  pic to show what I disconnect so I can turn on the car and then reconnect it back)

Haltech plug in will run a map sensor and do away with the maf. Take it to your tuner to diagnose. Is it running rough dying ? Or are you just trying to locate a maf ?

Having to unplug the TPS to start it suggests that there is something wrong in the tune. The TPS is part of the reference for what cell of the tune the car is in so i would say unplugging it puts it in the "right" cell to start or puts it in some sort of default.

Would take it to a good tuner. If there is only an issue at startup, it cant be anything to majorly wrong with the TPS

thanks for the info, and no once it’s on it Idles good when I reconnect the tps sensor. And no since I do not see one anywhere. So I really do hope it’s somethinh with the tune. Previous owner did touch up on that , it needing a tune.

Makes sense , if I don’t unplug it it’ll just keep cracking but won’t turn on. As soon as I disconnect the tps boom fires right up. So I really do hope something is wrong in the tune. Previous owner did mention it needed one, never could’ve guessed that it could help in that regard as well.

      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.

      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.
