My 240sx ( 1995 ) won't fire up. I bought it for cheap, and just want to get it started already. I dont have alot of money, I dont race/drift or pretend too. Im willing to cover gas and provide lunch/beers. I can also give you the radio from the car, its aftermarket. Plays tv etc.

It makes that out of gas sound. The engine is cranking and moves around when I turn the key but it doesn't fire up. Im free tomorow, and would GREATLY appreciate your help.


Im located in Monterey park, california.

the compression is fine, because it ran before.
