240SX broke down tonight

Post by **silviaxspress** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 8:38 pm

My car meesed up on me tonight. It was driving fine till tonight, when i turn on the car after dinner. The car is idling and it would move from 1rpm to 1/2 rpm and up and down... It didn't stall when i was on idle.

Then when i was driving, 2 miles from my house, the engine didn't die on me cuz i was giving it gas. But when i try to push down on the peddle to give it more gas, it would choke and jump up and down, like a automatic driver trying to drive manual.

I am using premium gas and didn't put desiel in the car, the car still has 1/2 tank of gas. I drove the car 2-3 times before already, so this just happened tonight. I was thinking that it maybe the injectors. Could it be dirthy injectors or have gotten clogg, even though the car was running find the last 4 times i drove it. Maybe I'm pushing it too much with the stock injectors?

Here is a link to my car set up. http://www.cardomain.com/id/silviaxspress

I will try to give more details... but I don't know what's wrong and it won't bearly made it to my house. So I can't drive it now. Please help. Thanks alot!

After comming home around 7pm today, I looked at all plugs around the Distrubutor Cap, and I fournd a lose adaptor.!!!!!

So I was messing with my distributor and saw this one plug, that look like it was broken/crack.

It doesn't SNAP on, this orange color rubber ring keeps this adaptor snug and inplace but its NOT SO Secure. I guess when the turbo was doing it's thing and making the engine jigglying all around it must of popped it out.

I gave it a little tug and it came off... i was like "holy crap" I think that is it!

I plugged it back in and drove it tonight for about 30 minutes, everything seems fine. DUH!
