Okay, so my KA24DE was making that infamous timing chain rattle, so I decided to remove the guides to get rid of the noise. I followed the steps outlined on the forums, removed the valve cover, distributor and removed both of the guides. Then I put it all back together, but forgot to reset my timing via the pulley or w/e. So I tried starting my car, put the key in the ignition and the engine cranks, but doesnt start. I almost starts, there is a pulse of flow (I put my hand in front of the muffler and i feel a bit of flow) but the engine doesnt start. So i tried re-aligning the dist and reset the timing, but it still doesnt work. Then I took off the valve cover and put it back on, but I didnt seal the spark plug thingy and some oil got in it (Or so I think because when I removed the spark plugs to check there was oil on the tips and thread). So I bought new spark plugs and cleaned / resealed the valve cover the RIGHT way, made sure everything was sealed, cleaned out the spark plug cylinder, and the same thing happens. So I tried a spark test on the plugs and the 4th spark plug doesnt spark(All others spark fine). Not sure whats up...I have a 95 240SX with 155k on the clock. I NEED HELP ASAP!!
