help wit muh 92 ka

[spag240sx]

I don't even know where to start...

Parasitic load? WTF?

when i bought it, the car had a "new" starter...now getting under the car i can see that it isnt newi went through an alternator, and two batteries

Are you really willing to track down a wiring harness and replace it because someone speculated that it was bad?

yes

You either need to pick up a manual or put down the wrenches.

i have a manualand several wrenchesi think i will hold on to both, but thanks for the suggestion.

You have no idea what it is, you're 'helpers' have no idea what it is, and the chances of it being diagnosed over the internet by people who can't even see, touch, or hear your car is VERY slim.

cant hurt to try, man...i have never owned a 240 before.hell, im learning more from my fuked up 240 that i did in most of HS auto classes.im not gonna give up just because every eveything i try doesnt work. im gonna keep trying until this damn car runs. with nico's help, or without.

Take it to a shop!

no

"help wit muh..." Really? You can't even compose a complete word or sentence when asking for help?

please...because we all know how we act/represent ourselves online is a true reflection of the intellect we actually posses...

[(Q)240]

you say your getting bad response & bad idle and bogging..?? This Happens alot when the MAF Sensor is bad...

try changing the MAF Sensor (aka) Air Flow Meter and see if it get better

if not then check all your vaccum hoses and make sure you dont got a vaccum leak..

GOODLUCK

i was under the car and i saw a vacuum that wasnt connected...i connected it, but its not like it matters now, lol...

at the moment i think i should concentrate on getting it to crank.

i didnt get a chance to get the alternator, and starter testes yesterday, but i will tomorrow. its pay day and im off from work.

So I guess you put on an act when you go on forums? If you prefer to play an idiot online and then solve calculaus equations for NASA in real life, good for you. But you are 19 and are a self admitted "drunk mexican", so I'll go with my internet percieved judgement of you.

Let us know when you have run out of parts to put on.

a good way to check if ur head gasket is blwon is to take some of the oil from ur dip stick and put it on ur exhaust manifold. If its clean oil it will burn and if theres any water/coolant in it, it will sizzle and bubble on the manifold and dry out. You've checked ur injectors yet?

it looks bad lol!

[silpena]

ik now it looks bad lol but blown hg bad idk. Never seen reddish orange oil before.

well since my car wont crank i dont think i could try that. but thats good advice! thanks!

no i have not checked my injectors.someone told me if they were bad, that there would be lots of gas in the oil/pan. and there wasnt...and i know this way of testing may not be conclusive. but it was a quick way to check, so i tried...

[spag240sx]

and just so everyone knows. this car has been sitting for 6 months now. i dont know if that would make any of the fluids do anything funky...

got the starter check, it was bad.alternator was good.battery was obviously dead and wouldnt hold a charge.

im gonna try to put everything back together tonight and see if it will crank with a new starter and a new batt

The problem is that you are not really diagnosing anything, you're just throwing parts at it. You said you have a manual, and I can only hope you have some sort of test light or DVOM.

Parasitic load-I can only assume you mean "parasitic draw". In that case, even the test light will determine that, so that question could be answered in a matter of minutes. Usually draws are caused by a component, not a harness. Either way, the draw won't have any effect whatsoever on driveability.

What "tests" have you run on the car? The factory service manual should have a great step-by-step diagnostic chart. It will also tell you how to pull codes from the ECU, which should have been the first step. Unfortunately now that the battery has been dead and pulled, the codes probably aren't in there anymore.

Do you have spark? Do you have fuel? You need to figure out what system is causing the problem. I know you are young and probably feeling overwhelmed, but you are going about this very wrong. Open the manual, start from the basics, and don't throw parts at it because someone said "that might be it".

And I do beleive grammer is important. This is a public forum and you are asking for help. This isn't a text message to you're homie or a scene from "Tokyo Drift". My first assumption based on your thread title was that you are a complete idiot. If you want mature/intellegent advice from mature/intellegent people, I would suggest dropping the 13 year old wanna-be gangster talk.

As for all your pics-Your valvetrain looks perfectly normal. Any car with decent mileage on it will have all the components stained in that orange/brown color.

Your pan of oil- looks like a blurry cell phone pic of dirty oil.

The disconnected line- looks like someone replaced one of your hard brake lines in the past but just left the old one there. Unless you are having problems with your brakes to, it isn't relevant.

The torn boot-that is just a dust boot at your clutch slave cylinder. It would be better if it wasn't torn, but has nothing to do with your driveability problem.

Good for you for wanting to fix your own car, but put down the Cervasas and open the manual you said you have. Along with a multimeter it can give you a lot more (and correct) answers than any of us that are thousands of miles away and have never seen your car or heard it run.

[spag240sx]

youre righti agree 100%

i'll reply to your post in more detail later. i got called in to work for the last couple hours...lame

im sorry if we got off to a crappy start. that wasnt my intention...i just wanna get my car working again.my auto knowledge was not very good when my 240 first gave out.i realize that i could have gone about it in such a better way...\

anyway. ill reply later

Make sure to always unplug battery when you are not planning on running the car for a long period of time, it will drain out the battery. as soon as you get it to crank make sure you check the compression and that will show if your motor is bad. all you need it to get it to crank to check compression. seemed like you didnt even try this.

i blew ringland on piston #2 and when i took off my valve cover it looked wayyy clean compared to yours.
