Help?
Hello, I'm new here (if you couldn't tell lol) and I'm in need of some help.
I have an '89 240sx two-tone coupe and she refuses to give me power. I wrecked her years ago in '06 and had to park her because the gas tank was damaged. She sat until about 2013 when I was finally able to get time and money to work on her again. FINALLY got her running, drove her around a bit to get the cobwebs out, parked, cranked her again to be sure all was well, cut 'er off, replaced the spark plugs and wires (careful to make sure the firing order was correct), test cranked her, fired right up, cut 'er off and went in for the night. Came back out to crank her again to keep everything charged while I was getting the funds to properly register her again and I got nothing. Not even the door ajar musicbox. Tried hooking the battery up to a charge cart for a few hours. Still nothing. I realize that it could be that the alternator could've finally croaked but I was also told that it could be some sort of computer chip that could've died? I guess what I'm asking is what are the main problems I should look at fixing so that I can finally drive my baby again. |

OK Update
Managed to get power after checking the fuses (all of them just to be safe) and hooking the battery to some jumper cables and my Grandfathers pickup truck. She tried very hard to turn over but just couldn't. Suspect that the fuel lines are clogged as after so many years of sitting I had to have the tank boiled and a new pump installed. Can someone tell me or point me in the direction of a thread that explains how to blow out fuel lines? I'm still a novice at mechanics and don't want to mess anything up by flying blind XD |

Wow, It's almost been a whole year since I posted here XD
Ok Update before everything else; Got tired of waiting on the family mechanic and trying to fly by the seat of my pants so I took her to a shop. They tell me that the fuel pump wasn't getting enough to the engine (Weird, as it was a Brand new pump I put in and I told them that when they said it) So they're currently re-working the fuel system. I'm calling for an update tomorrow and hoping they're finished so I can get her home to work on replacing worn parts and getting her looking good again. Now, on to more questions...or should I say list of parts needed -Right Rear quarter panel -Windshield -Tail lights Can someone point me in the direction of a place to get those things for a decent price? Would snatching parts from a '92 model rolling shell I found be viable? Also toying with the idea of going from Automatic to Manual any thought's/tips? |
