My car has been acting funny when the car is cold it runs smooth but still shitty, when its under boost it starts to bog at 3k. When i accelerate it more it will get to 5k and bog again. Seems like the power comes and goes i have checked the timing, fuel, vacuum, and couplers and nothing wrong there. I took it to the shop and the checked for boost leak it held fine with no leaks, they checked other stuff and couldn't find anything only thing he said that wasn't right was the temp gauge for the ecu that the ohms were not ready right any help on my problem i would really appriciate it.

Coolant temperature sensor wasn't ohming out within spec? Replace it. Go to Autozone and get one for a '91 240sx, it's the same for the SR.

would that temp sensor cause it to mess up my engine? I thought the temp sensor came from a sentra, well if you reference it.

300zx TT, Sentra w/ SR20, and 240sx w/ KA24DE all use the same coolant temperature sensor.

And yes, if this sensor is messed up it'll cause your engine to not run right.
