Well first and foremost is an engine problem

Read mod list in sig before reading this.


When I roll into the throttle, the engine dies out, doesn't climb in revs, but starts falling. I thought this had to do with the nissan TPS, so I unplugged it. No improvement. If I open the throttle plate quick, it revs but is hesitant.



2. Gauges not working. I've got no tach, coolant temp, or oil pressure. Gauges light up, but don't do anything. Car runs, but no tach. I've checked that I plugged everything back in, and I did. Boost gauge works, and fuel gauges works, but thats it. Gauges fuse is not blown. Check engine light does not illumitate at any time. Door ajar light is working.

There is another problem, but I forgot it at the moment.

Take a look at this (if you haven't seen it) on wiring the Nissan TPS:

I'm out on the road right now and don't have access to my wiring diagrams. What you're describing is a gauge fuse...replace the fuse and check it again. You can also rig up a 12V light with a pair of spade connectors and insert in the gauge fuse holder...don't let the spade connectors touch. If the light is bright (IGN on), you have a short some where. When I get home I'll take a look at the diagram.
