Hey guys just to fill you in on what happened. Its a 1992 240sx, stock dohc.
I decided to pull my engine out and redo all the gaskets and learn where everything was internally (basically ripping apart the engine for sport). I set it up all correctly internally (TDC and such) put it all back together then into my 240 once again.
After reinstalling it back into my car, I tried starting it. It sounded weird, like a plopping sound, shakes a lot, and whenever I get it started it tends to blow a little black smoke around. It can't hold idle, throttle is not very responsive while idling and is very rough. Not sure what I did wrong, or what could have gone bad.
I replaced: gaskets (head gasket and up), fuel filter, wires (doing plugs soon), some air lines that had holes in them, and that's it I believe.
My exhaust isn't connected right now, so there's this thing, I have no idea what it is, but it connects to my exhaust then loops back to my intake box thing (some sort of sensor). Not sure if this would cause such a problem.
