Lol, ok, I'll get out in it and at leAst get these various jobs done!!

 

[Hilltop]

now that must be worth a few brownie points with Mr's Clivvy. Can you tell me if the cps is on the back or at the front of the engine, there is a disk fitted to the engine to put a signalin the cps but i'll have to dig a bit more on this one, how are you checking the fault codes?

Cheers matey, appreciate the help and support!
My cps is located at the front, between the belts. I am checking the codes via the diagnostic socket under the dash, only the two faults show now after fixing everything else. I'm convinced a new cps will help, I just can't source one!!

 

[clivvy]

The plot thickens. Spoke to Nissan in Wakefield, they can find FOUR different sensors, based on the month!! So I have to check what month mine came out, the one he quoted me was £222 but again, could be one of the four!

Always amazes me how main 'stealers' can vary so much in price!!!

I gotta admit I like Nissan Wakefield though, always helpful - Nissan Halifax are too, service guy there looked over my car when I had some problems and suggested a couple of fixes before (in his words) I paid through the roof for them to have it in!!! :clap

Nissan Leeds...... set of w*n**rs!!!! :augie :augie

Good luck with getting it fixed... out of interest have you tried Thornton 4x4Breakers in Bradford to see if they have anything?

havent tried Thorntons yet because i want new parts, already wasted money on a used one, and that was no better...!!

i got two part no's for the closest sensors to my year, first is 259777f400(05/96-10/97 and 259777f405 (10/97-onwards), my car was registered 17/01/97, so to me, i need the first one assuming the "10" is the month...??or are all cars registered the same times??

Drawing on my nissan experience of years ago those numbers are so similar I wouldn't be surprised if one was suprceded by the other.

[clivvy]

all i want is one with the right plug! i've even resorted to looking at engine pics on ebay, seen a few that are 97 but with a big clylinder type connection thing on the end of the bracket that holds the plugs, and only one with the same connection as mine...

BUMP**

ordered a sensor. i gave in. went to main dealer in Halifax. They will have it in tomorrow for me, £188 please sir thankyou.

well, if it fixes that particualr fault, its worth it.

only problem is it TERRIBLE timing. I spent all of today trying to change the pads on my Mazda, but it turns out the caliper has seized, and i cant unseize it!! changed th epads fine, after spending most of the day just getting the wheel on. Wheel nuts were real tight, then had to buy a new brace for the locking wheel nut, then wheel was seized to rotor THEN i found the caliper seized, so thats another £80.

my overdraft is getting way too big now, may have to ask the other half for a loan...!!

cps

I hope your 3rd cps fixes your fault, if not check the 4 prong signal plate on the back of the crankshaft pulley, 1 damaged prong will mess up the signal from the cps no end.

er...the what?? where is it? I could do with checking it if its easy befoe I got spending £188.....

signal plate

The signal plate is on the back of the fanbelt drive pulley on the front of the crankshaft held on with a BIG nut, The 4 prongs on the plate pass next to the end of the cps and may just need a clean.

Eyup Clivvy, hope you get it sorted out with the sensor cos mines started cutting out now too:doh

[clivvy]

pigs. Nissan didnt deliver my part, it'll be Monday now.

Jim, going to go pick it up Monday, and I will fit it when I get back home. I will then go for a good 15 mile drive up Outlane, and if all's well (fingers crossed) will feed back to you.

 

[jims-terrano]

Hi Clivvy, just checked the plug and socket connectors today and mine looks to be the same as yours.

Jim

 

[briggie]

perhaps a squirt of contact cleaner might help ?

 

[briggie]

try pulling connecter apart , blowing with air line or similar , then a quick squirt of contact cleaner , put back together , and seperate a few times .

good idea, but the pins are clearly visable, and the actual sensor is sealed....

besides, i have read that quite simply, over time, they degrade and have to be replaced, i guess now is my time...

 

[briggie]

metal does age , and it loses some of its conductivity as a result if exposed to air etc ,its worth a try anyway
