Nico club i need your help

[Kataki_]

i will start with the fact i rarely come to you guys for help,im decent at diagnosing my own problems and have seen too many of the kas issues,this one has me stumped,my ka s14will not start it turns over, has fuel, and im sure it has spark,Dont see where anything would prevent it from getting air. thursday i encountered my first problem with the car aside from a valvecover gasket in the two months ive had it,the first sparkplug wire had the boot falling apart and the previous owner taped it back together,needless to say this eventualy failed and my car starting misfiring on wendsday of last week,so i get the new plug wires off my old s13,got a oem s14 valvecover gasket from a friend,(chris coopwood aka white s14 with silvia front end and too much carbon fiber) poped my valvecover off to have it sent to work with my dad to get sandblasted thurs,friday i start putting it back together,took the timing chain guide off the top of the motor off put the valvecover on,put the sparkplug wires on,change my oil, then go to turn the key i get a sputtering for a second and no go, i check my fuel line to see if it was pushing fuel through though maybe a cloged fuel filter...nope lookslike yellowstone parks geysers coming out the fuel filter no flow issues at all ironicaly with the line off the motor cranks and runs for a fewseconds any clue at all what would cause this its driving me crazy the car i can post more pics if yall want but its nothing special at 1500 it was a steal i think even it it is wrecked in the rearse with sunroof and all options except leather and an auto tragic daily...cant wait to fix the 5 speed s13 and take it to a local drift event..fun times

cap/rotor. one of the things you mentioned is not functioning properly.

[Kataki_]

thats what i would have thought but it fired off when the fuel line was off..guess ill find a screwdriver that the plug wire will fit over and see if im getting spark to all cylynders tommorow..

[Kataki_]

oh wow and your in memphrika we should meet up sometime like at autozone on summer i wanna see that ae86 lol im through with the gate and airpark though..some useless s*** considering my s14 cant outrun a honda

[xX RB Xx]

damn your close. i didnt even realize that. i really live in collierville/ cordova area. i just put memphis because its easier.

[Kataki_]

thats where i was when i took that pic of the car down from the malco and bubble tea at the cvs board shop man i miss the skatepark of memphis those were the good days it was so easy to fix a broke skateboard

[xX RB Xx]

i know bubble tea, along with froggi. did you go the drift event on the 31th of Oct.?

[Kataki_]

yup sure did i had a bunch of pics too,I drove the s14 up there but it didnt even have the cf hood then and i still havent picked up bearings for the drift car, i put my memory card in my friends comp and it erased all my pics,dont really know froggi and all the t/o optional guys that well though never got to take the s13 to an event before it got blown up..

[xX RB Xx]

froggi's parents own bubble tea. i was there. it was hella of fun. i got sunburnt to hell though .

[Kataki_]

yeah it was and im glad i have indian in my blood no sunburn for me..if you saw the white s14 with the s15 front end sitting next to a white hardbody nissan pick up and the beat up s14 sitting next to them you saw me and my friends..that explains why froggi can afford drifting.

[xX RB Xx]

yeah i saw you guys there. im looking forward to next one.

[Kataki_]

neither can i, Just called jerry from t/o and talked to him he said my problem might be a crank angle position sensor down on the back of the block might have gotten unpluged. my friends tried to tell me my plug wires were backwards and i laughed a ka will stil run with the wire backwards

[xX RB Xx]

jerry is selling his sr swap, installed for 3k. you should get that.

[Kataki_]

thats actualy the reason i called to see if he would take a trade for a built ka that needs bearings the imaculate s13 its sitting in and my s14 ka,but it was a no go and i just checked out all my plugs on my wiring harness and that was a no goso its not cause that sensor was unpluged for sure

[xX RB Xx]

how much for 13? email me your number. [email protected]

[Kataki_]

its titleless so you prolly dont want it thats why im making it a drift car,it belonged to the guy i bought it from he was supposed too apply for a lost title nad basically disapeared off the face of the earth last i heard anything of him he had no job no house and was living on a golf course but if your interested in a great track car by all means give me a call we will work sumthing out (662-544-1491) im not worried about it being posted on the internet its already on face book any idoits call phone numbers can be traced and you can be charged...Ifound that out when i made a prank call about a buying ricey probe a few years back on here

[xX RB Xx]

zerothread?id=400327 theres your link Rb

[1sikS13]

so you say your car runs with the fuel line off, eh. I had a similar problem once and it boiled down to be a bad fuel pressure regulator stuck in a open loop. Take the vaccum line off the regulator and try and start it. If it starts its the regulator.

[Kataki_]

Ill try that as for this morning mad a new discovery it also weakly cranks when the diz is advanced as far as it will go O.o let yall know how that goes with the fpr and imma gonna see ifputting the timeing chain guide back on fixes it i thought they were alll useless and i know my s13s never had one but maybe they actualy do something on a s14

[numbnuts240]

maybe they actualy do something on a s14

does nothing on an s14. i took both my upper guides off with no ill effects.

[martins_240sx]

my single cam did the same thing. it turned out to be a faulty fpr. if i was at home i would send you one for shipping...ive got six. they are the same on all ka's....stanza, quest, anyhting with ka....junkyard run. iirc they are 70 bucks new.

[Kataki_]

thankyou guys it was my fpr, took the vacum line off and BAM we have crankage and thanks for the offer martins, but i already called my friends and found a brand new rail its gonna cost me a blunt with a 15 sacs worth in it but oh well thats what you get when your friends are potheads, im so happy right now this s*** was giving me a head ache and wow that is the most badass sohc ive ever seen in a 240 martins

[martins_240sx]

thanks man, just wish it was done already...glad you were able to find your problem
