My '06 Altima V6 (230,000 km) died last night while driving, and it would not restart. I assumed it was the fuel pump as it made no sound when the ignition is turned on. I sprayed some brake clean into the front air intake and it started but then died immediately, tied it again and it started then sputtered and died again. That confirmed it for me it must be the fuel pump as it had a spark to start. Based on that analysis I proceeded to change the fuel pump with a used one from a wreck yard. Replacement was easy and when I turned the key there was a brief sound of pump humming but the car won't start with this pump either. I scanned the codes and got a P0183 - Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High Input and a P0463 - Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Input. I thought that this is related to the first pump and erased the codes but still cannot start the bi...atch. Google search of these error codes leads to the fuel pump what am I missing here? Oh .... codes did not return and there is a 1/4 tank of gas still in the tank!
