If the throttle switch on your Nissan Maxima doesn't pass any of the above pin continuity tests, then, before replacing it, you need to make sure that it's not misadjusted. The next subheading will help you with this procedure. here
Where can you buy the TP sensor for your 3.0L Nissan? You can buy it at your local auto parts store, but it's gonna' cost a whole lot more. I suggest taking a look at the price of the TP sensor in the following links and compare:

On gasoline engines, the throttle is a valve, which reduces the amount of air going into the cylinder. Closing the throttle reduces the amount for air sucked into the cylinder during the intakestroke. Having less air in the cylinder means that there is lower pressure at bottom dead center (BDC), so that when the piston moves ‘up’ and compresses the air, the maximum (or peak) pressure is lower than it could have been. This lower pressure means that the readings will be misleading. If you encounter an engine with low compression readings on all the cylinders, you should consider that there may be something obstructing the airflow to all cylinders. more
Almost every compression testing guide tells you to hold the engine’s throttle wide open during a compression test, but most won’t tell you why it may (or may not) matter.
Many engines without throttle-by-wire will give you trouble codes if you hold down the accelerator during cranking. This is because the ECM or PCM will detect the throttle’s position, and ‘diagnose’ a sensor fault. In this case, you can either complete the compression test with the accelerator in idle position, or reset the fault code after completing the test.
Many people do compression tests with closed throttle valves, and get decent results. This is because the throttle body usually does not completely block airflow into the engine. There is usually a small ‘bypass’ passage around the edge of the butterfly valve, or an idle air control valve (IACV), designed to supply enough air for the engine to idle (with no load). Idle speed is usually 5-10 times faster than cranking speed, so the passage or valve usually allows enough airflow to get a compression reading within a few percent of the wide-open-throttle (WOT) value.
To set the governor at its proper position, loosen the screw on the governor arm so the governor arm will turn on the governor shaft. Move the governor arm so that it stretches the spring as much as it can. Turn the slotted end of the governor shaft clock wise as far as it will go. [links]
First, loosen the arm until it is moving freely. Next, open the throttle to full capacity while making a note of which direction the arm moves in when the throttle moves through it. Once the throttle is fully opened, move the governor shaft in the same direction the governor arm traveled.
Also to know is, Why does my car rev up and down while driving? For the engine surging making the rpm’s go up and down could be caused by a defective or stuck idle air control valve (IAC). Check the IAC and see if it’s working. Remove the vacuum line to the valve and see if the engine runs smooth. If the engine runs smooth, then the IAC needs to be replaced.
Surging on small engines is very often caused by a lean condition. Since the carb is new, any leanness is likely due to a vacuum leak somewhere. A mower left in a heavy rain or condensation on a hot summer day can choke the engine. … more
Thereof, How do I fix a small engine surging?
That spring will go into the same hole on the governor arm as the link. The other end of it will either go into a very small hole on the throttle plate of the carb next to where the link connects, or it can go in the same hole as the link.
