aight it has a couple of sympoms, first from like 2800-3500 rpm ist "juts" if u wanna call it that, it only juts when u have tha gas pressed so that its constant one speed and not accelerating/decelerating. also when i do push tha gas it hesitates, now to sumone just jumpin in they wouldnt know exactly but i know my car so i know it hesitates, then jumps mad fast. also when i let off tha gas it jumps to a slow down. i figured it was like plugs and wires cuz it use to only do it when it rained, now it does it all tha time wheneva it wants. not every day tho, sum days it dont at all. it also juts afta i drive tha car hard, rpm wise like shiftin at 5-5 and a half rpms. i do however have one leaking fuel injector. im not shur exactly what might be my problem, i plan on doin alot of work to it this winter so i dont wanna do anything right now but early start helps in tha long run. also this winter i plan on a basic tuneup, new fuel injectors, takin off all tha control arms and such and replacing all tha bushings with new stock ones (dont need poly in nh, too stiff for tha bumps lol) o yea to backtrack, i have replaced tha fuel filters twice so its not that. anyways yea all that plus rust work. if anyone can give me any help what so ever on anything plz plz plz let me know!!!

ahh that dont help lol. uh well update, today i started tha car and let it idle, while idleing i unplugged a fuel injector and did each individual fuel injector to see if one of them might not be working, well they all work perfectly. i also hooked up a computer from a 87 crx dx and it still acted up so thats 2 down so i can count them out.

When it's impossible to decypher your "BiG GLoB uV GiBBeRiSH" its hard for us to help you. If you talk like that in AOL Instant Messenger thats fine, but we cant comprehend what you say when its in such a big mess of text. Formatting is your friend, even though I am not the best speller, I still put things in easy to read sentences so people can easily help me. Spelling mistakes can be forgiven, simple formatting can not.

Right away you start describign the problem, but we dont even know what car your driving! Give us all the info you can, how long you've had it, how many miles, when was your last tune up, etc.

From what I've gathered from your car stutters and hessitates? Best place to start is give the car a good tune up. This includes: plugs, wires, fuel filter, distributor rotor & cap, air filter.

You say you hooked a civic computer up to the car... now this just confuses me.... do you even have a 240sx? You're in the 240sx section...... Do not hook computers from different cars up to your car.... they dont work the same way.... :bash

Best thing to do would be:

Go on a Civic forum where they might have more experience with specific issues with that car.

-or-

Post in the Mechanics section on NICO, master mechanics roam that area and should be able to diagnose problems easier than the people here who are just looking up technical info and specs related to the 240sx.

:jump and im spent........

holy crap you know what i did, i do own a 1990 240sx, i also own a 1987 honda crx, the crx is in the shop right now getting work done to it, so that update has nothing to do with the 240sx. okay from the beginning. i own a 1990 240sx. 5 spd hatchback. i have had the car a little over a year now. when i first bought the car it did not have the problem it does now. it has 147k on it for milage. instead of even starting to talk about it im just gonna stop and not start because i plan on doing a full tune up this winter, as well as taking off all tha control arms and such and replacing all my suspension arms bushings, and putting in new fuel injectors and a lot of work so im just gonna do all that and then see where i am. sorry for the confusion.

"juts" as in like jumpin back and forth, like it looses power, gains power, looses power, gains power, and it does it sparatically so it jumps back and forth.
