I recently purchased an 89 240sx fastback w/ a ka24e motor and was wondering if anyone could help me out w/ a question. I bought the car on thanksgiving and drove it around for a couple days after that. I had discovered that a blown fuse was rigged w/ wire so that it would work. Unfortunately I found this out after my car had already died. So while I was looking around at my motor, I noticed that some of the wires were taped together. I fixed these and now my car starts, but doesn't run. I start it.. it runs for a few seconds, and then dies. (Maybe it is the leads to the fuel injectors or the MAF.. the leads look a little messed up) I can give it gas and keep it running for a couple more seconds but then it dies anyway... can anyone please help me out? I appreciate and replies.(if possible, email me at [email protected]) Thanks alot.

get a FSM and go over the wiring carfully. Since someone has gone in and done a hack job that needs to be taken care of first and for most. kinda hard to diagnose a run problem when you have some less then qualified wiring expert hacken up the engine harness.
