i noticed my lockout has been kicking off its killin my milage i was gettin 23, now maybe 19 - 20 mpg when its not engauged what controls it and does it have a sensor or relay with it?????

i had my pathy start to run in safe mode i ran the code then went to radio shack and bought the proper meg ohm resistor and bridged it for about 3.00 and an hour tops i fixed mine i took an hour because i had to keep looking at the factory service manuals and checking with my ohms meter to make sure i was splicing into the right ones......that was fine for me as i dont need a knock sensor, i can hear my engine if it knocks or bumps and i always use preim gas anyway....... yet i havent had either the cash to let nissan do it( i really dont want to tear the top down by myself let them do it and if things break its on them) or the time to do it my self yet. thts probly a main reason it got sold when they thought they needed to put probably at least a grand into it ,but i don't have any idea what it might cost email me if you still need help i think i still got all the old pics and tech data ps I heard if the knock sensor starts to work again it will go into safe mode and you would need to remove the resistor u put in??? seems like once its bridged it would be fine no matter......mine has never had a problem since i put the resistor in mine....at least not a prob related to tht

can i still test to make sure its getting current to the pump after it dies?? even though it wont be running? or could some relay or sensor be not working right and it quits telling the pump to continue pumping????? ok so im headed back to the fsm for some numbers for testing the pump if i can find them i thought there was a relay near my wiper fluid box?? so i guess that relay i was thinking of was for the starter....i know there was a relay in there for the pump i don't know where it's at staring at my fsm's is making my head hurt usually i find what im looking for quick,so to make it worse i'm gonna see if i can trace one down in the fsm wiring diags

when i start mine she ticks for a maybe 30 secs whenever shes cooled down, and only till the heat expands the gap lol...the prob is the y pipes are too far apart breaks the manifold stud bolts and lets a small amount of tick be heard i will eventually look into custom exaust as soon as the gasket goes... but if its not using oil and no leaks and it goes away with a little rising engine temp then prob the manifold ....replace it when u can afford it mines been doing it since i fixed the same prob on other side like 2 yrs ago

Also I should add that the fuel filter and line is clear......ill try to dig through my FSM's and see if i can come up with all the voltage and ohmage readings and take one of the most handy tools that my pathy gets all the time ......drumroll......the fluke 87 multimeter!!! lol at least pathys have one of the most owner freindly engineered vehicles ever made between the box under the seat and the FSM ....the best vehicle i have ever owned hands down ....she refuses to strand me my wife went home over the holidays and had her dodge strand her in the middle of the interstate xmas eve, hence the 5-6 hundred mile rescue journey to go get her and the kids my wife never told "her"( my pathy) even thanks....i went fishing no prob hit some brownies through the ice , came home and the wife moved it next day to put our other dependable car in the pathy's rightful place .....it's a mazda...sorta ..( her dodge threw timing bent valves so I sent it where it belongs ...the junkyard) and hasent run since for more than a few secs...I just think if she would quit talking about the dodge(rip lol) and pet up the ol pathy a little more like me this wouldent happen (an apologie would probably work best) .....the pathy hasent liked her since i let her drive on vacation and she hit a dip hard fully loaded... or maybe they could be jealous of one another wanting my affections .....i could say the solution would probably not ever let her ride in it again.....in case she reads this all i will say is i will always have my path she loves ME lmao.... we romp and fish climb and mud....nothing stands in our way...not knock sensors, or alternators or starters actually those are the only real probs i ever had that might have come close to stranding us except ...oooh yeah i tuned her up right when i bought her.... I cleaned up the dist cap and loosened the screw on the rotor and must not have tighened it back, well goin down the road well a major hill anyway she smacked and then sputtered to the bottom and i shut her down ....she only sputtered cause the screw was jumpin round in side the cap shortin out lol, it broke the back off the plastic rotor...horrified i removed the plastic and put her back together....she drove me home and held in till i got new stuff.... i only put all this in cause i hope there is a lesson to be learned my love affair with my pathy will last forever........ never let anyone unfriendly drive or even sit in her she is the one u can trust... with my assortment of scavenged relays new belts, hoses a multimeter and tool box and bag we are unstoppable she is a truly dependable truck the likes of which i don't believe has been seen before or since and used to be a old school full size driver thats to all my friends here jus in case u haven't been showing yer special one the love( imean your pathy's not your wives lol but kiss the wife jus the same) and we thank u guys for all the help and for being there when some fixin needs done thats how much i love her i came in for advice and had to tell the world just how i feel ..............so should we all.... ALL HAIL THE PATHY'S MAY THEY BE WITH US FOREVER!!!!! so can i still test to make sure its getting current to the pump after it dies?? even though it wont be running? or could some relay or sensor be not working right and it quits telling the pump to continue pumping????? ok so im headed back to the fsm for some numbers for testing the pump if i can find them i thought there was a relay near my wiper fluid box??

it starts then runs fine for ten secs then maybe runs rough then dies like the fuel line or filter is clogged or line was pinched shut, anyone run into this?? it did die once at the gas station after i started it and popped the hood to check the trans fluid, then drove 5-6 hundred miles, got home went fishing next day ran fine parked it and here we are ecm gives 55 all clear.....was gonna clean MAF and check the IACV but wasent clear on checking it or cleaning it so any help would be greatly appreciated is there anything to do with the fuel pumps that would let it run for a few then kill the pump???
