slownrusty Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes the TPS (not mass air flow sensor) on the 60mm KA24 throttle body has to be adjusted as per the Nissan manual. You will need a voltmeter for this. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMO619 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 TPS throttle postion sensor is located on the side of the throttle body thats not a problem if its disconneted. I think the problem lies inside the " mass air flow sensor located on the front left side of the raditor and between the left head light.

ktm Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Your TPS is disconnected? Why on earth is it disconnected? The ECU uses the TPS to determine the engine mode such as idling and make fuel and timing adjustments accordingly. A disconnected TPS can cause your symptoms.

Zbeechbum280t Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Does he adjust the tps according to the 240sx manual since he has the 240 throttle body ...? 280t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemicalblue Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Id check all your piping hoses etc.... I could be something really simple.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 If you are running with the stock 280 ECU, then you need the 280 throttle position sensor, NOT the one from the 240SX. the older Zs used a double switch for a TPS.. either Idling, Cruising, or WOT.. the newer ones (300ZX and 240SX both I believe) used a potentiometer style TPS.. basically a volume knob attached to the throttle shaft. TOTALLY different inputs and outputs, using the Pot-style TPS when you have an ECU that expects an older style TPS will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Does he adjust the tps according to the 240sx manual since he has the 240 throttle body ...? 280t Nope! its according to the 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260ZRED Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 you are not listening to what every one is telling you. you asked a question, thay gave you there idea of what the problem MAY be and you keep asking about something completely diffeerant.

Daeron Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yes, you keep saying the car runs just fine with it on or off... if the car is running fine, what do you need help with? the car OBVIOUSLY will not IDLE with it connected or not. Now, the important question: ARE YOU running with the 240SX, potentiometer style throttle position sensor? I am betting $20 that you ARE. you can NOT run with that style TPS, it doesn't tell the computer anything. Unless you have a stock 280 (Z or ZX) TPS installed on your 60mm throttle body, and it is plugged in and properly calibrated, your car will NOT idle properly. The Air Flow Meter does NOT ever need to be adjusted; there is a "hack" to adjust it to somewhat richen the mixture along a specific range of RPM, but not the whole range. It is NOT worth it as a band-aid fix; it is a hack that is a bad idea, and not worth doing under ANY circumstances. If you want to fiddle with something to richen the mixture across the band, there are better places to hack into. (The CTS circuit, for example.) Far better than "hacking" anything is installing larger flow fuel injectors, but really you are getting to a point where you want standalone engine management such as megasquirt. However, if you take the potentiometer TPS that I bet is on your TB off, install one that your ECU can understand, plug it in, and calibrate it, I bet your car will idle right.

NISMO619 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Good news and bad news up date i did find a used 280zx tps sensor from the junk yard it came off a 82 n/a so what the hell i hooked it up and it made a minor differance the " air to fuel " gauge read LEAN red when start up and after warmed up would read :" I DEAL " this is when i have the car in my at my house since then i have had my car inpounded.

Daeron Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 awww hell... i wont ask no questions, that just SUCKS. I had my Z impounded once... I had a warrant for failure to appear when I was misinformed that one court appearance subseded another on a driving w/ suspended license charge.. cop swerved out of traffic to make the left turn, then u turn, to get behind me a at a LOONG redlight... because, get this: He said he saw my lack of a front bumper. I spent a night in jail because I took the bumpers off of my car. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances and i do not BLAME the cop, but still...... Good luck in court, and FIND a way to borrow the money needed to get the car back YESTERDAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
