Wow, this open question is pretty old..... Imma gonna take a stab at it anyway.... Try the "check" relay under the hood. It should be located with several other relays under a plastic cover
Hey Ron,here's a link to your throttle body,I have a 85 Nissan 4x4 2.4,but it's carburated.I f you wan't to get a 86 experts advice,join this site,It's free,I am a member,has forums and you can buy and sell parts,free advice,interact with other Nissan truck owners,put your pictures up and see other trucks and get ideas,here's my Nissan.
It is on the fuel pump under the truck on the passenger side. Right in front of the back tire. You have to remove the metal protective box to see it. Have this truck and most folks answering here have no clue this is a one year issue with this truck.
This will take too long here. Get some trained help or good home mech. You need to do this safely because of the weight of the trans. You will need an alignment tool to put the clutch back.
These fine folks will help you out on that one:

there is a download-able Factory Service Manual and you can search the whole forum with wither google or within the forum search bar.
The self-diagnostic system identifies malfunctions of signal systems such as sensors, actuators and wire harnesses based on the input signals received by the ECCS control unit. Various malfunctions are coded and displayed on the control unit by a series of blinking red and green lights. Results of the self-diagnosis are retained in the control unit's memory and are displayed when the mode selector, located on the rear of the control unit, Fig. 122, is switched to the On position. When displaying malfunction codes, the code number can be determined by counting the number of light pulses. The red light represents the first digit of the code, while the green light represents the second digit of the code. For example, a Code 32, would be displayed as three flashes of the red light, followed by two flashes of the green light. Malfunction codes can be translated as follows:
It is possible that you have a vacuum problem. There could be hundreds of other causes, but start at the beginning and check for a perished rubber vacuum pipe.
Vacuum leaks could also occur between the carburetor and the intake manifold, but on a '86 model, just for fun check the play on the butterfly valve shaft.
Your car is 28 years old, and the butterfly shaft tends to wear out from years of acceleration and deceleration (throttle valve movement). If you do find excessive play on the butterfly shaft, you probably need to have the carb overhauled, or possibly less expensive, have it replaced.
