post'n for a buddy:

"ok we are swapping the single cam motor back into the 240sx because the twin cam project didnt want to work.....but ya neways we get the motor in and it starts but the only way we can make it idle steady is if we cover the intake pipe........so we figured it was running lean on fuel so we put fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank and i covered the intake pipe and we ran it for about 5 minutes but still when i take my hand off the intake pipe the motor will try to idle at like 400 but the motor just shakes a shitload then shuts off so does nebody have any idea how we can get this to work plz plz plz plz help me here i want to get this damn thing going...........oh and when i unplugged the Mass Air Flow sensor then it woul didle really really high at like 1500-2000 then we would plug it back in and back to problem one the low to no idle so can somone please help me out thank you and post back if u have any ideas or PM me

First of all, get your hands on a Nissan OEM FSM for your model year car. If you can't, then try downloading it from here.

You may, (or may not) be able to use all of the information, (like tracing vacuum lines & making sure they are properly hooked up), but it should give you the proper information on how to check your timing & adjust your idle. Just remember that on a SOHC S13, the Timing is set at 15 degrees...
Anyhow, hope this helps.
