I have an 89 Nissan 240sx i got the car and the whole time i owned the car the car would idle ruff. Then one day when i was driving the car the car just died on me well i was driving it down the road and the car has not been able to turn over sence then. i have located the fuel filter and i took the hose from the filter to the injectors off to see if it was my fuel pump that went out but im getting fuel through the hose and the filter. when i put gas into the parkplug holes and tried to turn it over.. it almost turned over. Its hard to believe that all the fuel injectors stopped working at the same time. what could be the problem with my car ?

Fuel is only one of the many things that'll make your car not start, there's a whole lot of possibilities here. Hope you have gas in the car! The car dying while driving is also fishy. For how simple it is, I would check the ECU error code first.

compression test, use a timing gun to check for spark, use a gauge to check your fuel pressure.

also, check your battery and alternator. a dead alternator would cause a car to die while running

check for fuel pressure like the other guy said. if its not up to specs, most likely, its a bad pump. if you dont know what you're doing right now, i suggest bringing it to a tech who does (know what they're doing)
