SOURCE: Speaker replacement

They still follow the GM standard:

LF+ tan
LF- gray
RF+ light green
RF- dark green

LR+ brown
LR- yellow
RR+ dark blue
RR- light blue

Note that if you're looking for them behind the radio, some of the same colors may be used on other wires. The speaker wires should be placed side-by-side for each speaker.

Also, if you're replacing the factory radio, I highly recommend buying a wire harness adapter instead of cutting off the factory plug.

SOURCE: Trying to fit G202 electronic

The colour coded wires seem to differ at randomn. To identify the cables:

Dizzy:- use a multimeter set on ohms.. When you measure about 3 meg ohms, your red probe is on the +ve wire and the black probe is the signal to the coil.

For the coil, it hard to measure the primary resistance so the general convemtion is looking at the pins on the coil with the taper at the top, the +ve is on the right and the signal (coil -ve) is on the left. Sometimes you'll notice one of the wires on the coil is a thicker gauge, which is generally the +ve.

SOURCE: trailer light problem

Check it with a test light. White-ground, Yellow-left turn, Green-right turn, Brown-tailights. Check it on the truck first. There are seperate fuses for just the trailer wiring in the fuse box under the hood. The Blue and Red wires are for Trailer brakes, don't worry about those.

SOURCE: poor idle

my truck was doing the same thing, i tried to adjust the idle screw and replace the ignition system but it didnt help. What i did was replace the carb with a webber and the problem was solved. I'm not saying to buy a webber but you might just need to rebuild your carb or something similar

How do I adjust the rocker arm bolts for the valve lash on a 1985 Nissan 720 pick up Z24 engine

Guys he has a Z24, Not KA24, Z24 for one, Is carbed and has older lifters and valves. They need to be tuned to spec within a certain specific limit and the cams must be rotated in certain positions when doing different valves, etc... Shouldnt take very long normally and its not a hard process but if you have a tick, you really should get it checked out. Btw, the Z24 engine's idle isnt controlled by ecu at all or else the carb wouldnt need an idle adjustment screw.

1987 Nissan Pickup with Z24 Engine, Started to have rough Idle when Cold, I put new plugs all 8 Cap and Rotor, Checked hoses for Vacumm Leaks, When It warms up It Improves a little.

The coil wires may be inter changed or the one coil might not be friing. the intake cam in the most senseitive so if one coil is'nt firingyou can switch the coils as they are the same part and put it in the other coil wire and the other set of primary wires and put it all back together If it now fires on the exhaust side the coil is bad and just but a new coil if it still only runs on the same side you may be having troble with the distrubuter pickup. If you are a reman distrubutor from an auto parts store is the way to go as they have a warrentee to be good and the common man has the skill or the tolls to rebuild the distrubutor with a new pickup.

Just bought a camper. The braking system the guy gave me was for a ford. (Husky Journey HD) I have a Nissan titan (2005). I have been trying to match the wires, but no success. Could you tell me what color...

OK on the truck side, brake controller harness wire colors are:

RED = +12V (Hot at all times, even with truck off)
RED/GREEN = Stop light (Hot when brake pedal is depressed)
BLACK = Ground
BROWN/WHITE = Brake out (variable voltage to trailer brakes, 2v-12v)
RED/BLUE = Dimmer (not used on most controllers)

On the controller side (these are pretty much universal):

BLACK = +12v
RED = Stop light
WHITE = Ground
BLUE = Brake out

1985 720 truck 2.4 (z24) need picture where spark plug wires go

You have the NAPS Z (nissan anti performance system haha) emissions engine. the dual plugs provide a hot spark for exhaust gas reburn and lowered tailpipe emissions. both plugs fire at the same time.
It is not really a good engine platform for high performance modification as its limited by the NAPS Z cross flow cylinder head design, its best to leave them mostly stock. I have owned several of the 720 king cab pu's and can attest to their durability, fuel economy, and reliability when properly tuned and maintained.

1987 nissan pickup (z24) acts like there is a govner.

It is your coil. One coil cuts out under load and the other one runs full time. It'll run on either coil alone just fine. Your problem is that the one that is supposed to run full time has gone bad, the other coil which is supposed to cut out under heavy load is the only coil running your car. When it cuts out, the truck wants to quit until you let off and the computer (ECU) allows it to come back on. Should be able to find a new coil for $40 bucks. Good luck.
