Need help fast!!!!!

[x 240]

I have a 1993 240sx with a ka24de the car is absolutely stock. I was having problems with it turning on changed spark plugs was driving fine. 2 days later the car was shaking a lot at red lights or stops and would idle in the 500's and would hesitate to go past 2100 rpm's. I was told it was the MAF bought one and it still doing the same thing? :cry:

Can anyone help on what can be wrong with it????

Double check the plug gap?
And try adjusting your idle air control valve so it doesn't idle at 500 RPM's

First check the throttle position sensor. You might've knocked it loose.

Failing that:
Check plug order.
Check timing with a timing gun.
Check for vacuum leaks.
Check for codes on ECU.
Check O2 sensor.

thanks for the replies. new tps and distributor cap were put on today turned on for a good 2 minutes then died down and didnt turn back on. the spark plugs were wet with gas.. anything else i should do?

Sounds like you might need to replace that ECU coolant temperature sensor.

well after the car turned on for the 2 minutes we let that go and started to work on it agian thew next day. We did the oil change and the oil was more gas than oil after doing the oil change everything it turned on driving fine with no smoke at all.. yesterday i was driving and half way down my block the rpm was bouncing and the car died out turned it back on there was a lot of smoke coming out it again. Can it be worn piston rings thats letting gas go into the oil or are my injectors messed up?

[KiLLeR2001]

Did you check the ECU for codes? Did you test to see if the ECU temperature sensor works properly? If the ECU temperature sensor is malfunctioning it will dump fuel into the engine, so much so that when you shut your car off, and try to start it again, you won't be able to.

It's either this or you have a leaky injector etc.

I did check the ecu gave me a 55 which is no malfunctions. i will check the RCU temp sensor tomorrow morning. Question the oil was replaced sunday night and now smells like gas. Can that be the injectors?

[KrazyS13]

Is your car smoking as well? The symptoms you are describing sounds like possibly a leaking injector/injector o-ring..

Pull the fuel rail off the IM leaving the injectors in the rail. Unplug the electrical connectors. Turn the key on to prime the fuel system and let the injectors sit and watch them closely for leaks or put something under them to make seeing any leaks easier..

If any fuel is leaking at all you know you've got either a leaky injector or o-ring. Hope this helps.

Did you gap the plugs? Someone said to doublecheck earlier, but you didn't acknowledge that you had. What brand are they?

If you were dumping too much fuel before you installed the o-rings, it's going to foul the plugs.

I gapped it fired up and put a new o2 sensor on it. Now it was running but it would shit off on full stops should I go out and buy injectors tomorrow? Because I am tired of throwing money into for it not to work and yes i know 240's are money pits

[x 240]

Went to the mechanic results motor blown but i doubt it them. Another one told me it was the fuel injectors and the rail

[ultimateirving]

you said you changed the plugs as the only recent change... verify you did not overtorque the spark plugs, causing them to crack!

[x 240]

I had to change the plugs because they were black and wet with fuel but i didn't overtorque them. So im going to get the injectors and if thats not the problem car should sit for a while cause i have no kind of income right now

[ultimateirving]

i know what u mean about funds being tight, got all my extra cash wrapped up in my wifes anniversary gift!!

Do you have any friends with 240s? maybe they can let u borrow their fuel rail and injectors just to see if that fixes ur issue.
