i just bought a 95 240. with the stock engine. the water pump blew up while the previous owner was driving it then the car died. now it won't start. the plugs are fine and the timing is right. it turns over fine. i don't know what the deal is. there is no water in the oil or on the pistons. also if i decide to replace the engine will the engine from an altima fit?

does that mean it overheated? warped head badly?

the altima does come with the ka24de but it is the fwd version that will not work in a 240sx

well if I were you.. I would just go down the troubleshooting list... First check for spark... if that's good... check fuel.. let us know what the results were... chances are that something else could have happened when your water pump pooped. Oh yeah, check your compression also.
