1995 300zx check engine codes help!!!

Hello everyone, my name is jon & I'm very new to the nissan 300zx group always had Hondas but my dream car was a 95 300zx .. now I'm experiencing issues with my 300 ZX check engine light recently popped on turns off pops on turns off... I found a forum where I could pull the check engine codes and I seem to have got codes :

42. fuel temp. sensor circuit
12 air flow meter circuit
32. EGR function

what would be the proper steps to going about diagnosing these codes and properly fixing them I have no clue what any of these mean.

Please help...

Best and most complete description of diagnostic procedures can be found in the FSM.

Step 1 - open internet browser
Step 2 - enter the following URL: www.google.com
Step 3 - enter query in search field "300zx Factory Service Manual"
Step 4 - open manual
Step 5 - find "Diagbnostic Procedures" in table of contents
Step 6 - open "Diagnostics" section
Step 7 - . . . do I really need to keep going? There is a procedure for determining faults which was developed by the great engineering minds at Nissan, the same minds that developed the car, all of these procedures are compiled in the factory service manual (FSM). What you are asking for is for someone to take a good chunk of their time and provide you with tech support on how to fix your car. 1)Ain't nobody got time fo dat. 2)Mechanicas get paid for their trade, So many on this forum, myself included could easily do the repairs as a mechanic or even an over-the-phone-tech-support-describe-every-step-so-you-can-fix-your-car type of guy but I'm fairly certain that you can't afford the rates most of us would charge because we aren't mechanicas, we are all professionals in other fields and like to spend our freetime doing other things. SO your only option is the FSM. Try the procedure, figure out whats wrong or if you come to a specific dead end then ask the question and we will gladly help you but when you have put in to legwork and just want people to spoon feed you, yeah that s*** aint gonna fly.

I've already gone through all these procedures you speak of and yet have found nothing that specifies what I could repair what needs to be repaired

It runs good .. I recently had all the front belt change not the timing belt, and one of the parents began to slip so I purchase some of the belt dressing spray and the check engine light began to pop on, so I don't know if some of the sensors got clogged up and dirty from the spray or something I don't know
