First off Hello everyone, My names mark, Im from ohio, I just bought my first 240sx se for $1200 wrecked and needing work. It was in a light accident and needed fenders hood core support headlight, bumpers, trunk wont shut etc, I fixed all that I plan to on the body and got it halfway straight. I was driving it normally and all the sudden it starts running rough(but no CEL). I went to the parts store and put fuel injector cleaner in it and got a new fuel filter hoping thats all it would take to solve. Well needless to say, start it up, same problem! After doing more research come to find out the CEL bulb was burnt out on my dash, so I pulled the codes from the computer and this is what I got:
code 25 IACV valve (for idle control, which im not worried about)
code 34 knock sensor
code 68 cylinder 1 misfire
code 77 for rear o2 sensor
Now the knock sensor worried me a bit, So I bought a new knock sensor and let me tell ya that thing is in a PITA of a place to get to. So I get the old knock sensor out, being lazy I just temporarily bolted my new knock sensor to the core support to see if it would change anything. It did not, and it still throws a code for knock sensor?! so wtf?! bad computer maybe? I still have the cyl misfire code to deal with as well, the ngk plugs look ok, a little white like its running lean but not to terribly bad. could it be an injector? I would guess if it was the coil it would do it on all cylinders. It doesnt misfire all the time, seems to do it more the longer you drive it, but sometimes it clears up and goes and other times it will bog down and sound like an awful subaru. It does it at all Rpm ranges at total random. I also have lots of front end suspension issues but thats another thread entirely. can anyone shed some light on any of all this mess I got myself into for me? I cant wait to actually drive/drift the damn thing. and yes Ive already searched this site google and other car sites.
