Do you have a wife and kids too? AHAHAHA. Code 55 means all your sensors are working fine. Try searching next time.

my car is still not able to move its self and its an SR and i read that code 55 mean other malfuction consult terminal reqiured.. is that a nissan scan tool or somthing?

If your car is misfiring, the first thing you should be checking is your ignition timing and spark plug condition and gap.

[s13dan]

Spark plugs were tatally fouled but that was because of what ever is causing my car to mess up because a week ago they were very good, and at idle im getting spark to all plugs.. and timing wouldnt just mess up while driving would it?

[Flybert]

Check your timing. Go buy a cheap inductive timing light from sears or autozone or whatever. Make sure it's a cheap one that doesn't have any special features because the expensive ones like to read 10 degrees off on SR's. Warm up your car for about 5 minutes until it gets to operating temp. Turn the car off, unplug the TPS, turn it back on, race the engine a couple times, and check the timing with the timing light. Make sure it's set to 15 BTDC which is the second mark from the right.

If the timing is dead on, then you need to start checking your different sensors such as your MAFS, TPS, knock, ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. O2 sensor doesn't really need to be checked because it only operates when you are cruising with a steady constant throttle. Read the S14 SR FSM for specs on all the sensors. The only S13 sensor that has different voltage or resistance specs from the S14 is the MAFS.

I cant get a reading on my light with my S14 SR, what do you hook the signal clamp onto with these coil packs? Thanks.

Pull back the plastic a bit on the wiring to the #1 coilpack. You may have to play with it a bit in order for the light to pick up a signal.

Thanks guy, i'll play with it. ....The wire i mean. :)
