i just picked up a 87 pathfinder 4x4 v6 five speed and the previuos owner says i needed a temp sensor because it wasnt kicking off the high idle when the engine warmed up, and would over fuel and be under powered, and back fire before i go spend the 60.00 on a new one is there any way i can get this one cleaned? and also where is it located???
thanks in advance

Cleaning won't help, it's either working or not working. The internal resistance could be shot. $60 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things. If you need a discount on parts like that www.nissanparts2u.com is 20% off wholesale msrp and they are factory parts.
