Im new to this site but my friend highly recommends it so i know u guys can help me out! i have a 92 240sx and it cranks over but it wont even act like its tryin to start. I know its gettin spark, i know it has fuel, it has compression in all cylinders. i did a fuel pressure check and it has pressure it it declines slow not really fast.one of the cylinders were full of gas when we checked for compression so i took the injector out to c if it was stuck open and it was opening and closin fine, im gonna go ahead and put another injector in since i have another fuel rail sittin around. I changed the oil cause there was alot of gas in it. im gonna buy spark plugs, put oil in it, and put the injector in today. I hope i gave enough info so someone can help me out it would b greatly appreciated!! if anyone has questions just let me know and ill try to answer them. THANKS!!! ill look up the exact motor in it when i get to school today to narrow it down a little better. havent had the car long just bought it sorry

Ok, i changed spark plugs, injector, oil, and now it started and drove fine, when i got back to the shop i turned it off and tried to turn it back on and all it would do is crank. after i let it sit for a little bit, i got back in it and tried to start it and it started fine. the same thing happened over and over again like somethings gettin hot and it wont start until it cools down, im thinkin it might b the ignition coil or the distributor??? Not for sure what it is i wrote down what the motor was and i left it at school.....lol but i think it was a KA24DE, i know its a 2.4L, thanks for the advice

Start the car up ,let it run until it gets to operating temperature and tap on the distributor and see if it acts up.BTW Welcome to NICO!
