Ok I will try to explain this strange problem as best as I can..
background info: 98 se stock (couple bolt on's) possible previous owner wiring work. Fuel works and is getting spark.
The problem occurrence: I bought this 240 not too long ago, drove it an hour home. Runs good although it felt like it kinda bogged as if its timing was off or its not reading air properly (not a huge deal but it just didn't pull like other 240s). Spent some time restoring cosmetics, and I decided to drive it around. So I took the car out it drove like it normally does, when out of no wjere it starts bogging really bad an starts mis firing and wanting to die. It barely made it to the side of the road. Tried starting it and it wouldnt start. After 5min it fires up fine and drives home. I decide to take it out again later, it drives fine and again while driving it starts sputtering and dies. This time it doesn't start anymore. It will fire a couple cylinders but not even enough to idle.
What I've checked: I checked for spark, seems to be fine. I checked fuel and its definitely getting fuel. My suspicion is that its the maf. But my dad has a 98 altima and I took the maf out of that to see if it would help, but it didn't do anything. I should mention I noticed my oxygen intake temp sensor was missing when I came home and I replaced it and it started but died immediately and still won't start. I'm out of ideas..
Thanks a lot for reading guys I hope someone here can help me..
