Ok it acts like it wants to start when you first try to crank it but then it just turns over . I have checked the fuel pressure its good has fire but looks weak had red instead of blue . And the timing is ok too . Thanks for all your Help

All the dash lights come on but it doesn,t crank enough for them to go out . ECU gave no codes either

Have you checked your battery? If batteries good check the starter.

Its turning over fast enough but seems like it doesn,t have fire or gas but I know it has gas not sure if it has enough fire .. is it possible to not have enough fire ??and thanks for you guys helping this is my first 240sx

i had a similer problem recently and i fixed thanks to nicoclub try undoing the vaccum line going to the fpr its at the end of the fuel rail close to the firewall,its easier to undo on the intake manifold though which is the first little nipple you see coming out on the lower side near the firewall,not the big one behind it but the little one just trace it from there to the fuel rail and you know you have it unplug it start the car if it runs thats your problem plug it back up it should be fine mine was and if that dont work it could be that the crank angle position sensor is unpluged which is on the backside of the block going through the trans intoo the crank case.

the thread incase anything in here helps if that isnt your issue and the credit for the origanal answer goes to 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.

OK finally have you guys a up date . Got it running today , seemed that it was getting too much fuel the whole time but the timing was off just a little . Had to advance it just a little . So looking at putting a new timing chain kit on it has anyone done this ? best place to buy one ? how hard is it ( I'm pretty good on engines ) ? anything else I should change when I do this ..? thanks again for all the help ...
