I have a 93 na 300zx. I was driving it and all of a sudden it just bogged down and died. I popped the hood and the over flow line from the radiator was off and on the back side of the fan but not wrapped around it. Hooked it back up and car won't start. Turns over but won't start. Fuel pump come on. It just seems like it's not getting spark. Thinking it may have jumped timing? New to Nissan ingeneral. Please help.

You need to check the ECU codes for a start. Just Google how to do that. It should give you a good start. The coolant hose flying around in the engine compartment may have unplugged something like the PTU or CAS or TPS. Don't you love all these letter I'd's.

Go to the z32 general section and look at the " everything you need to know about the z32'"

On a Z they don't have to come completely unplugged the contacts get corroded and a slight impact can make them lose connection. I would run the ECU codes.
