Limp mode. HELP

[rottodiver]

I would disconnect Dawes and needle.. Takes 1 minute to change it all back( no need to take it out just put it back to original... You will know instantly if the problems lie there.....

I have taken it for a drive trying to make it go in to limp. Going slow, hard normal uphill, downhill. moving starts to hill starts. Can't get it to stop which normally would be great but these things do not fix themselves. I have looked at disconnecting everything but don't have the right pipes to go to right places. After I put in the plate before I put in the dawes and needle valves it was going in to limp straight away.

Not in deep water for long but could have got up there. Is there anything that I may be able to seal better? Boost if anything I thought was spooling up ok and maybe a bit quick if anything. Sitting between 10 and 15 doing 100km in 5th. The reason I thought it might be the maf is I tried to go 3 times up a slight hill on the road and it kept dying in the ass. I took the maf out and gave it a spray with cleaner and it came good. drove for about 10 mins and it happened once more. Didn't happen again for the half hour drive home( maybe dried out?). I am in Bathurst and need the car at the end of the week (booked Holiday with others, need fourby)so need to fix asap. I will try anything.

Is there any water in the air box and on the air filter?

Hi Mudski,
Not wet at all in the air box or filter but it is due for a new one. I think I might re-do the wiring to the Maf with a new housing as it is snapped. It may be causing a short inside if I am lucky that it is that simple. It's a downer when this happens because the wifey hasn't been in it for while and we went up a couple of crazy tracks and even she said I can't believe we got through so easy. Love the truck just need some more reliability. Maybe something I have checked over has fixed it. Not usually that lucky.

[mudski]

Fix that wiring first. It's a good possibility that is the root of your issues there.

what volts is the MAF showing ?
could be intermittent with the wires as suggested

[Covo71]

Spewing, I think I have to go to Nissan to find the same thing for the wiring.

[mudski]

Why do you need to go to Nissan? If you need a new wiring loom go to a wrecker. Its only four wires anyhow, not hard to solder...

[Covo71]

Hi Mudski, just wanted to try new first so same problem happening is limited. Trying wreckers today as nissan said can't buy just the end wanted $700 for loom. Just for wires, they are just thieves. Any ideas if they changed connector? Might be able to get later model. I am in bathurst though so slim pickings.

later models use a different MAF,
