89 240sx sat for a week and wont start. Changed some stuff and still wont start?

[HangLoose]

Got a cheap 89 240sx coupe with a ka24e 190k miles. Trying to revive it to drive to school for a daily. Story is that it sat for a week as the past owner went on vacation, came back to it and it wouldnt start. So far we've changed fuel pump, and distributor, checked the ecu which shows no malfunction, found loose spark plugs and tightened them,changed the wiring harness to the injectors after noticing it doesnt spit fuel allowing it to mist. Starting to run out of ideas.. Also running on a college budget just to use as a strict daily. What do you guys think?

Ummn, try more details because there's WAY TOO MANY possibilities.

1) Do you hear fuel pump when turn key before ignition?
2) If you pull hose on intake area that belongs to fuel > fuel filter, is there fuel?
3) Did you check your relay box?
4) Does the car turn over?
5) When turn over, did it rumble and die? Or did it just keep chugging with no result?

Fuel pump can be heard, also checked the fuel line and fuel is there. Relay box i dont remember i will check. Car turns over, sounds like it wants to start but just doesnt get running.

um lol wut

Lol sorry i was walking around classes with my iphone while typing. The spark plug wires provide a spark, and the spark plug looks generally fine.

Jump start it. If a car sits for too long without disconnecting the negative cable the battery will die... o.O

Check plugs for spark, Check fuel pressure, Check Maf sensor and plug in, Check vaccum leaks

i haven't seen this one.

Clogged fuel filter can look like this.

Perhaps ill try this, it seems like the fuels not being pumped in good. Also we've used 2 different fuel pumps (because i had to borrow one just to test, then actually got one for myself). The fuel filter look pretty new, so we didnt bother touching it.

Killed the first battery trying to figure out whats up, threw in a second one lol

check for fuel in each cylinder my moneys on the injectors, but it will help a lot more if you explain what is going on besides saying "car wont start and I have replaced this _____" give me more to go off of but im betting injectors man check for fuel in each cylinder and if you don't get fuel in 1 or more test the wires for signal. and stop wasting money into it until your confident in something to replace.

5spd? If so get some friends and try to roll start it. Don't go to far though cause if it doesn't work you'll need to roll it back.

[driftracerx]

check vacuum lines ?

[driftracerx]

could be the egr valve

scroll up several people asked that question already

[Dalton]

Does it fire at all?

[Driftwire]

I think a video of you trying to start it would be better as your lack of info and description into the Actual problem. When you say it tries to start does it crank than fire for a second? or just keep chugging along like thomas the train engine.
