89 240sx will not start
Hey all, I am new here.
Anyway, I was running low on water, and oil or something, water was on the min line, filled it up again, oil was also on the minimum and I filled that up too.. Anyway, it cranks, acts like it wants to start but fizzles out... How it happened: I had my timing change replaced a while back, when I started the car it sputtered, like it was misfiring.. Anyway the mechanic came out, wiggled the fuel injector plugs and it was fine.. So, I tried starting it yesterday, it started fine but sputtered like it was only using 2 or 3 cylinders.. I popped the hood and messed with the connections and then it shut off.. Does anyone know something I can do at home, I cannot afford to have it towed :-( Thanks in advance, Josh

He did my timing chain for $600, instead of the Nissan dealer for $1500...

Re: 89 240sx will not start
I had the timing chain done a little while back.
Spark plugs are plugged in fine. Havent checked the fuel pump yet, listen for the humming? Battery is strong, it still turns over strongly..

Re: 89 240sx will not start
The pump seems to be priming when I turn the key, and liquid does not burst out of the radiator leaving the cap open so the head gasket should be fine..
I think it is with those plugs I played with.. Does anyone know what the plugs are called that are marked on http://www.acecoolco.com/engine.jpg ? Thanks

Re: 89 240sx will not start
SOLVED..
I played with the MAF I think it is (Mass AirFlow sensor plug ontop of the stock air filter unit) and it fired RIGHT UP. Have a rough idle that goes to 500 / 600, but it clears up after a few seconds... I still need to reattach the "staples" for each of the injector clips and 2 others which I cleaned out. I am posting this as a resolution for those of you that encounter the same problem.. ALSO... I had it running where it would stall if I went under 1k rpm, and it would rev limit and bounce off of 2500 rpm... Keywords: rev 2500 stall bog injector fuel spark plug :-) Thank you to everyone for allyour help, I am sure I will stay a member and communicate with everyone about other random stuff :-)
