Hmm...I'm pretty sure code 21 is ignition circuit (or something to that effect). How does it run (roughly? smoothly?). How is the idle? I know my ignitor decided to crap out rather suddenly, so I had minor issues. But I can't say it cut out on me altogether.

well it runs great when it starts if i leave it alone for an hour or so it will start and run fine and then all of a sudden the car will stall also i pull of the battery cables when i let it sitthe injectors still fire when this happens though so i think the cas is still ok

sounds like a dodgy ignitor......swap for a known good one if available.

tomorrow if nissan stocks the one for the z32 conversionit is weird becouse it ran fin for like 2- 3 days but i do not have any of the white plugs wired inside the car for the dash yet coud it be causing some sort of voltage buildup and have caused the igniter to burn up and should i ground all the black wires with no tracer in those two plugs
