91 240sx ka24de engine flooding, cts question

[jamied311]

Before I start... I would like to thank everyone on nico who has helped me when i have a problem... Without you guys, I would no longer have my car.(due to frustration... lol)

I have a 91 240sx with a ka24de engine. About 2 weeks ago while driving, my car started to hesitate and bog down a lot. One day it actually wouldnt start, so I took the car to a mechanic. He told me that my engine was flooding, and he really didn't know what was causing it. He got it running and I drove it home, and noticed the same problem within 10 mins of driving(the engine bogging down and hesistating then cutting off). At one point in time, i couldnt get the car to get out of 1st gear due to the enging bogging. This is when I decided to take matters into my own hands! I read a post somewhere that stated that the engine flooding problem could be related to the coolant temp sensor. I was wanting to know if this is the problem, and if there are any other things that may be related to this as well. Thanks in advance!

There is a few things you can look at which have all been mentioned in this forum before. Yes coolant temp sensor can cause an overly rich condition. You need to test it. Another thing could be the MAF sensor is either filthy or coated with oil causing it to give bogus air flow readings OR you have a poor ground to it. That too has benn mentioned in many many threads.
