ok.... here we go... i hav a 89 sohc 240sx the car has good compression , timing is good (belt and distributor), my distributor when i turn it by hand i can hear my injectors clicking (so i think i hav a good crank angle sensor) i can smell a bit of gas from the exhaust when i crank the engine for 5 mins, but the spark plugs dont seem that wet but i think its just that the fuel evaporates b4 i pull the spark plugs. um.. i have a nice white spark.

i havent checked the injectors and i can hear a clicking noise from my intake manifold when my ignition is on the on switch (not cranked)

any ideas what that clicking would be or what else i need to check to see whats wrong with my car??? anything will help

u might have already flooded ur engine from turning it so many times...

suggest removing ur sparks for a good couple of hours so the gas evaporates and get some new plugs for it...have u taken ur starter module to be checked it its working... ?

when u turn the key does ur starter crank the car?

Try putting fuel stabilizer in the tank if you think it's the gas.Probably isn't though.. could be alot of things.
