Ka24de no spark or fuel - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Stock ka24de. Was driving it one day and it suddenly turned off. Rolled it to a stop and haven't been able to start it since.

It cranks and has compression but not fuel and no spark. What could the issue be?

I swapped the distributor, didn't make a difference.
I also swapped out the dual cam ecu with a single cam ecu (I believe it should still work) but still no spark/fuel.

What could it be? I checked and re checked all my Fuses and grounds

Check what codes are on the ecu

thought u got a sr instead lololol

JDMBart · 08-30-2014, 07:44 PM

I did get an sr.. The donor car I got has the ka inside of it. Look at my build thread

JDMBart · 09-01-2014, 10:27 AM

bump, redid all the grounds and also added a few extra to the chassis. still nothing

goldens14 · 09-01-2014, 10:15 PM

Do you hear the pump priming when key is in the on position?

LoganDavenport · 09-02-2014, 01:00 AM

Any codes?

JDMBart · 09-02-2014, 09:53 AM

Yes the fuel pump primes and the fuel filter gets the gas but I'm not sure if it goes into the fuel rail because the spark plugs are always dry

JDMBart · 09-02-2014, 09:54 AM

I will check codes today

If its no spark or fuel check the dizzy. Also check the wiring to the dizzy to make sure the shielding around the signal wires hasnt rubbed through and mad contact.

SOHC ecu and DOHC ecu are not interchangeable.

JDMBart · 09-02-2014, 08:18 PM

I checked the ecu and got code 55 which means it is not throwing any codes. Got a new ignition coil from autozone and still having the same problem

goldens14 · 09-02-2014, 08:44 PM

Can it push start?

goldens14 · 09-02-2014, 08:45 PM

Check the charge of your battery too.

goldens14 · 09-02-2014, 08:46 PM

And check the fusible link wires, those were messing my car up 2 months ago. Because it wasnt allowing my alt to recharge the battery

JDMBart · 09-02-2014, 09:22 PM

No spark so I don't think push start will help. The fusible links seem fine. Battery has been recently charged

goldens14 · 09-02-2014, 10:57 PM

Push start would eliminate it being a starter or anything in the ignition..

goldens14 · 09-02-2014, 10:59 PM

If there's a short between the ignition (have you checked the neutral switch) and the spark plugs, push starting it will work.
