I have an all stock 95 240sx. My ecu is throwing me a code 13. I followed the instructions in the fsm and inspected the ect sensor, it was getting 5 volts and continuity exists. I think my sensor is bad, I know the next thing I should do is replace the sensor but I want to know if its normal for my car to stall when its warm. I can only drive my car for about 10 mins (cold to warm) then my car would stall, afterward it turns over but wont start. When my car cools down for a few minutes that is when it would start back up again but still it wouldn't last long and i loose power then the car will eventually shut off again. What i think is that my ect sensor is bad and it makes my ecu thinks its overheating causing my car to shut off is this possible?
