I just bought an 85 maxima 3.0. The3 regulator has a vacuum hose on top and 3 fuel lines. But there is another spot for a threaded connection that someone has capped off. What is suppose to screw in here.

 

I think you are talking about the fuel temp sensor, but post a pix

 

Yes it is the fuel temp sensor. I bought a haynes manual for it today. Now I just have to find the wiring to get it hooked up

 

Does anybody know where I can buy a fuel temp sensor? Salvage yards around me dont have any old enough and parts stores thought I was messing with them because they've never even heard of it.

 

you should be able to pull one from any VG30 i.e. Z31 300z, pathfinder, 200sx SE V6...... or nissanpartszone.com, rock auto might have them also.....

check for the wire in the open space in the timing belt cover

 

Let me know if you can't find in next few days I can check my yards....

 

That's not true....my VG30 nor any of the 4 others have this fuel temp sensor....I would check rockauto.com , partsgeek.com or a nissan parts wholesaler!

 

contact this folks and ask to to take a picture of their fuel pressure regulator...

right should have said any VG30E that has one, which might include such cars as......... that are made around the same time (mid 80s)......

 

Well I have found the wiring that goes to the sensor but no luck finding a new or used sensor. Ive tried local salvage yards and even salve yards across the country that deliver. I checked with rockauto parts geek and others even thinking it might come with a new regulator. But no such luck so if anybody has an extra or comes across one they could ship to me I would appreciate it. I was also wondering if a coolant temp sensor would work in its place. I havent been able to find many pics of the fuel temp sensor but from what I can tell they have the same wiring and look identical. Thanks

 

I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of those units.....

 

I'm headed to MN next week, I will check my pathfinder to see if it has one

might want to make sure it has the sensor in it......

 

have you been able to find one? I didn't have a chance to get to my pathfinder but will be hitting the junk yards in the kinda near future since I need a headlight now....

 

Bump???????

 

Yes that guy on ebay had one. I had to buy regulator too but ill have an extra in case I need it

 

I found mine used in a junk yard 300zx. took me three trips to find one
