pull the codes from your ecu, the timing chain will not cause the car to pull a code, it also wont cause a loss of oil pressure. that may be a non-related issue.

unfortunately that is possible. a quick scenario can be that the upper timing chain tensioner is so effed in an open position that the oil pressure is severely dropping to dangerously low levels.

Just a thought tho... You should take it to a mechanic for a real diagnosis of your situation.

If you are anything competent with sockets and wrenches, you can check your tensioner. Sometimes they will get stuck. There is Raines' writeup, I think he is on here... Step by Step with pictures.

There is no check oil light on a 240SX. Read the owner's manual, clown, it's a low oil pressure light. If it's coming on your oil pressure is dropping below 8psi, at anything besides idle you're shredding bearings. Quit driving it.

A chain job is quoted at 6hours labor from most places, so add that up.

Pull off the upper timing chain cover (KA? I need to L2read) and get at the tensioner.

If it springs back still just clean it up w/ carb cleaner and wd-40 to make sure it more easily squishes and rebounds. worked for me when I had my ka.
