ok i hav a 89 240sx. i have fuel to the rail didnt check injectors thou, i hav spark, and i hav compression. i did the distributor timing and car still wont start. i think my spark is weak but wont it start even if i hav a weak spark? i dont think my timing is off so any 1 hav sugestions?? previous owner said it needed a distributor but he was 14 years old and said that car didnt even hav spark but it did. i checked the rotor and cap they look clean no sighns of black carbon. how do i check the timing chain timing? i see that there is two yellow marks but were are the marks the alighn with?

hmmm check to see if the timing chain is turning by looking at the rotor, if the rotor is moving then your good if not then new timing chain time. What else... commonly overlooked the battery i know when my 240 breaks down i jump to conclusions and assume something major because well its a 240 and i wouldnt put it past it. make sure the battery is good spark plugs are correctly gapped, your timing is right, check also your vaccum lines start with the brake booster line make sure its not cracked or anything

i'm having the same exact problem with my 95 240sx. timing is perfect. getting spark, weak spark, but getting it. fuel is getting to the cylinders. i've drowned mine about 10 times now. i'm going to try new plugs today, and charge my battery. hopefully that'll do something. i'm not even getting a lick of a start on mine either. sounds like it's not getting any spark when i crank it over. is yours the same way??

mines not running again either....mine won't even turn over.was running perfect, no noises, ticks, smoking.....anything.went for a lil' drift practice, and acted like i killed my alternator.but even when i go to jump start it, or use another battery.it won't even attempt to turn over.just makes a hard click, like the motor is stuck....it's very aggrevating. i drove it for a whole 2 days.....

This forum needs to be solved! My car is also doing the same thing as these. I am about to mess with my timing some more and I just bought a battery cause mine was dead.
