so i have had my 240 for about two weeks now and it has ran perfect since i got it. it is a 93 with a KA24DE. just today i had to redo some wiring for the head light because it was no longer getting power. once i was done with that i went to start my car and it hesitated for a second. i then started to drive it and after a few minutes it started to sputter and the more gas i gave it the harder it would hesitate. once i turned it off it will no longer turn on but it will just crank. i checked all fuses, metered power (11.5V while cranking) did the screwdriver in the plug wire test and saw a slight spark and checked my ECU codes. i get 14 which i guess is VSS. since i had the car the speedo never worked but didnt seem to cause a problem. would the VSS be the problem or is that unrelated. aslo does anyone have any suggestions as to why it wont start all of a sudden. thanks for your help and i will love you for every if you know whats wrong.

hmmmmm, first thing i'd check would be battery level when it is off... maybe u popped the alternator fuse & now ur battery is drained...

well the battery seems fine because it cranks like crazy i even put some cables on it with my buddies car. i also did a continuity test on all fuses and they all read fine

i also just noticed that once my car is sitting for a little while it must lose power for a second because my deck keeps resetting

check battery ,load test it.check all fuses,check all relays. if you get it to start check charging circuit,sounds like you may have a bad alternator, probably quit on you and motor ran on battery power until it drained it , now you cant start it because battery is low on juice.keep it simple..
