s14 ka wont start.

[fernando95]

hey guys im desperate for your help. ive replaced the distributor rotor, was gonna replace the cap but got shipped the wrong one-___- im getting spark to the dizzy but it seems to stop there. what can i do? im praying to 8 pound baby jesus its just the ignition coil. im gonna try a spark plug test today. it cranks but wont start.

[mowgli 240sx]

do u think it can be the starter?

[fernando95]

no it shouldnt be, ive just recently replaced it. i had to jump start it for like a week cuz i couldnt find a starter in time . i even tried jumping it again and the tranny catches but it doesnt start. its gotta be a electrical issue.i replaced the dizzy rotor, im hoping it may just be the spark plugs or ignition coil

[mowgli 240sx]

might be a starter relay, i had this problem when i had my old sr, swapped out the relay and it turned on.

just another suggestion

[scumbag]

if it cranks and turns over it shouldnt be the starter

I think they read the first post wrong. The engine is turning over but not starting. If it was the starter, it wouldn't turn over at all.
I would recommend taking off the distributor and making sure it is timed right first, that is assuming you took it off recently. If not, than take the cap off and make sure there isnt any damage like major markings, missing spring, or any missing parts in general. If you get spark to the distributor, I would guess the middle blade thing is damaged or something similar to that issue. Should be a super simple fix.
Could help you more if you check for spark on the plugs just in general. If you have a skype, could help you quicker that way as well.

Goodluck.

dont wanna thread jack you bro but my friend is having the similar problem with his 240 only thing is his starts most of the time just at times it wont do it at night im assuming the temperature has something to do with it

420-the temp sensor must be replaced.
f95- make sure its on tdc, adjust/check timing and dizzy its on proper firing position.

[420xsGuy]

@akito86 temperature sensor? would you care to explain a little more about that??
