Change fuel filter
New Distrubutor
New Rotor
New Sparkplug wires (NGK)
New Sparkplugs (NGK)

regrounded MAF to somewhere else besides stock location
Cleaned throttle body

did you check the ecu for codes? Also, try replacing the coolant temp sensor.

Im Going Threw The Same Thing Man Hahahaha I Think We Need To Listen To Monkey Im Going To Try This Today And If It Works Then God Bless.
DID YOU CHANGE THE INECTORS YET MAN AND FUEL RAIL THAT MIGHT BE IT TOO!!

[oldskoo240sxs13]

thanks for reply

ECU Reads fine 55,

hmm little dumfounded where is the coolant temp sensor not sure what it looks like.

Mario: same thing huh haha how long now? injectors i changed a year ago (things are expensive), imma check the fuel rail though

check your fuel pump...it might be shutting off...i bet bad fuel pump.

Maybe not....could be your fuel pump RELAY or your ECU relay. Relays will give you intermittent problems like the ones your are experiencing now.

Yo Oldy Guess What My Fuel Pump Went I Dont Hear The Fuel Pump Like I Use To.
Turn Urs To Acc You Should Hear A Wooing Sound If You Dont Its Gone
Im Changing Mines This Weekend And I'll Let U Know, I Found Several Fuel Pumps On Ebay From Walbro 255 For 99.00 Im Getting That, I Heard Its Really Good For Upgrades On Cars
After This Shit Im Turboing My Ka.

Hm.. maybe you put your spark plugs in wrong? (just a small possiblity) That happened to my friend because he put them in incorrectly.

before you buy a new pump, check your fuel pump fuse and relay. I didn't hear my either one day and the fuse was blown. it will only take a second to check.

ahh coo guys thanks for the input, ill keep you guys posted if i get Alice (car) running or not

Mario: good luck getting her running again

[driftstar]

[marios13]

In my humble experience, I might ask if the TPS has been tested, and if not, is your car idling poorly before it shuts offs. A faulty ignition module/coil has a tendency of doing the same thing after voltage has passed though it for a period of time. Then after the module/coil cools (flowing voltage creates resistance, resistance in any electrical circuit creates heat, yada yada...) it is able to restart. I am not a certified mech, or anything, but hopefully it might be another point if addressed, may or may not solve your problems. I hate hearing about a fellow 240 owner whom is experiencing difficulties. Best of luck.

[marios13]

that could be it too the only thing is now well as for me it wont start at all its turning but not starting and thats cause of no gas going to the engine and its my pump. tps is very important if your car starts and idle incorrectly then it could be that but it should be able to start right away. if it doesn't like me then it has to be something else...oldy whats going on so far???

[oldskoo240sxs13]

hah nuttin going on right now, i spent money on the spark plug wires distrubutor stuff i need to wait no money hah, and i just paid for summer skoo, that doesnt help. depressing seeing the Alice just chill not able to move, been like 2 weeks now,

[marios13]

great!:( but do u hear the pump wokring inside the car>>>???

[oldskoo240sxs13]

I personally dont hear the pump working, maybe its just my ears, but then my homeboy said he can here it, not very relliable ears i have heh

[marios13]

oldy did u try spraying ignite fluid in the throttle yet?
and see if it starts . if it turns on and shuts right off then its ur pump. that means its not getting gas..

[oldskoo240sxs13]

well i know im bringing up my old post but my car is really haveing some Intermitent (excuse spelling) problems, i did what everyone posted and thanks again for the help, i even had my dads mechanic friends take a look at the 240, they still couldnt find anything, so i gave up, took it to Nissan, its been in the shop for a week, Nissan cant figure out whats going on with the car, and to top it off its having an added problem, now the car wont crank anymore, the Nissan mech had to do some bypassing, in order to get the starter to fire, Nissan mech says it something elctrical but cant figure it out, everyone that has looked at my car is at a loss.......

Well if anyone else has any ideas thank you in advance

Im also contimplating if i should sell the car, and just get another 240

i had almost the same problem a few months back also. what i ended up doing was taking out one of the fuel pump relays and swapping it with another used one. after that i never had problems again. it was [email protected]#*in' frustrating. well hope this helps.
