The 90+ 300zx and J30 [same engine transmission] often had bad injector connections or bad injectors from using ethanolized fuel.The problem first showed up with MTBE oxygenates [ethers] now continues with alcohols.

A Consult power balance test shows you which one is bad.

Obviously no injection is bad but not as bad a no spark [fuel washes rings and dilutes oil fast]....................pretty soon you end up with 0w0 oil or worse and bearings begin to fail.
