  1. I have a problem involving code 42 TPS. The input voltage is supposed to be variable from 0.5 to 4.0 volts and its supposed to change when the accelerator is depressed, but when I measure it I only measure 0.03 volts and it doesn't change. I've tried using a different ecu and the same thing is occurring. I've also checked continuity on all the wiring to the tps and everything is fine. Any ideas?

  2. The codes for the 87 are different than what they are for the 94. A 42 on the 87 is for the throttle sensor circuit. It's the switch on the back side of the throttle body.

    Here is a scanned page from my 87 factory service manual. It's a crappy scan because the book is old and I don't want to push it down too hard on the scanner.

    Mine shorted once and was running so rich it looked like a diesel blowing smoke out the tail pipe.

    So, do you have the adjustment procedure of the tps in that book? I can't seem to find the output at idle voltage anywhere...

  3. Switching to synthetic oil can cause valve noise and can leak easier due to its smaller molecular size. there's a video about it on youtube.

     

  4. I was looking at this:

    and according to this my 'finder should have a dial on the ecu but mine has a toggle switch. Does my truck have the wrong ecu in it? and if not how do I fix a code 42 (Fuel temp sensor I think)? In the past it has given the codes 43, then 44, now 42. I don't know what to do.

    It's worth mentioning that when I fixed the code 43(tps?) I ended up removing the tbi to replace the broken tps bolts. anyway, the egr port was clogged solid with carbon so naturally I cleared that out. I put everything back together the way it was, but now the truck bucks when I try to rev passed 2000 rpm's... could that be from the egr valve or the code 42? I'm getting really frustrated with all of this and i'm about to give up on the Pathfinder I love because of it. icon_confused.gif
