Car won't start, fuel flooding Cylinders? - Help - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I'm having a really odd problem thats been really bugging me.

I bought a 92 240sx SE a month ago. Car was great for a short period of time. I drove it for about 5 days after buying it. On the last day I took it out drifting with a buddy. Car was great for about 10 minutes.

However, I spun the car out and the car stalled out even with the clutch depressed. It then proceeded to not start. Cranked over fine, but no start.

We finally got it running for about 20 seconds, but it did not sound healthy at all. trying to give it gas made it worse, and then it died.

Got the car home, figured out too much fuel was getting in because the spark plugs were soaked in gas.

Thought it might be the fuel pressure regulator or leaky injectors, so i replaced the injectors and the regulator, but still same situation.

If i try to crank the car over with the injectors plugged in, it won't work. If i remove the plugs to the injectors, the car will try and start but then stop once all the fuel in the cylinder is gone (pretty fast).

any ideas for what could be wrong? I've been in contact with the seller, but I really have no idea what could be wrong

thanks in advance guys

alright so I tried something a little different today, sort of have some progress, although i have no idea what it means

Its pretty clear to me that fuel is flooding the cylinders. Either not sparking fast enough or fuel is pumping too fast.

I tried cranking the car for a bit and nothing happened. So next I removed the fuse for the fuel pump and then sprayed some brake cleaner in the throttle body.

The car started up for about a second and then it died once the brake cleaner/fuel had been burned up

what does this mean?
