i have a guy nice enough here in charlotte to let me use his ECU to see if it does anything. i just have to get in touch with him/call him. anywho ill try the ECU next and see what happens from there otherwise i might be looking for another car. any trades for a sohc coupe SE AND CA hatchback? i know i should put this in another thread in the FOR SALE/TRADE section but i havnt decided yet if i want to do it.

u entered the topic name as assuming u have no fuel. so u should find out if thats the prob first before u do anything drastic and sell ur car. if ur devoted enough to fixin the motor then just pull the fuel rail and check it out while ur waiting on the ecu guy.BTW thanks for calling me stupid float its what seperates the men from the boys lmfao

[Zzca18deTzZ]

nah i mean its not that i really want to sell it, its just i work a full time job and i hate that i dont have enough time to work on it. i mean id rather some one have it and work on it and get it to run then me have it on my street and never get it to run b/c i have no time to do so. im keeping it for now b/c i really want it to run its a waste just sitting like it is. oh and im not selling id just trade it. and when i get some quality time to work on it pulling the fuel rail back is next on the list.

Yep....let me know when you need to borrow the ECU. I have an OEM one and one tuned for 440cc/Zmaf/t28/walbro/etc (that C-Rad is currently cloning for his .BIN collection on his website)....also I have a spare ignitor chip incase you havent checked that yet.

I guess I would ask you to try and pull the injector rail to verify the engine is at least getting pressurized fuel and that its not a bad fuel pump or that your fuel lines arent reversed at the fuel filter. Also...verify that all the wires hacked into for the SAFC are property reconnected and sealed. Worse comes to worse......save up some money and take it to P1 auto and let them fix it.... there are 4-5 guys on Carolinanissans who know everyone there and can vouch for them.

when you say save up some money how much you think we are talking cause PAS charged $1k and they didnt even do it right. oh and the only thing i have not done is pull back the rail the fuel pump is working properly and the lines are not reversed. so as soon as i get a solid day to work on it the rail is coming off.

Is there ANY gas in the combustion chamber? Are the plugs wet? It just seems highly unlikely to me that the fuel pump is working, the lines aren't reversed, the fuel filter isn't plugged, the FPR is OK, and the injectors are OK, the ECU is firing the injectors, and you're not getting fuel.

Have you tried pulling the codes on the ECU?

[Zzca18deTzZ]

the one thing i have not fully checked is fuel pressure and i forgot about that until after i posted the last post. no i have not pulled codes from the ECU yet. im gonna try and do some stuff today and see if i can get somewhere.

i REALLY appreciate everyones help who have helped me try and figure out this problem. unfortunatly i have come to a very serious road block and i am not gonna have time to work on it AT ALL. Thanks to a local Charlotte-Mecklenburg School bus driver talking on her cell phone and running a stop sign trying to beat traffic i am not going to be able to work on the car anymore. i am fine for the most part just some back pain now. you guys have helped me 100% through this but unfortunatly i am gonna have to sell the car. i figure i would let yall have first dibs on it before i put it in the For Sale Thread... where i know it SHOULD be going anyway but ill let yall get first grabs. if i dont get any offers i might wait a few weeks till my back starts feeling better and pull parts off and part it out.the car does not have a full front end only a driver side fender. no bumper or pass. fender although i MIGHT be able to get one just cant promise itll be white (like the rest of the car)again thanks a lot for all your support and help and i hate to not be able to get it running. oh btw i know your all dying to see...

the school bus won.

WOW, that REALLY sucks! I'm glad to hear you're alright.

If you want to part it out, start another thread. Don't push it though, just wait until you get better...

[Masterdebater]

....dude that sux but of course its good ur doing okay. why doesnt the bus company pay for it if its her fault?

[Zzca18deTzZ]
