What's going on everybody!...well i got a problem with my 93 240sx, the symptons are

1)Once the car has been parked down for more than 7hrs (battery runs dead)

2)Once i use my booster battery pack(starts up on the first start)

3)It has full power and accelartion

4) Once it been running (driving) for 15-30mins, the car LOOSES 1/2 of its accelartion, i would floor it and it would go up 1-3km a second..when it usually goes up 6-10...

First of all it's KA24DE, second you should be asking this on the technical forum, and third sounds like an alternator and or something is being left on after you turn off your car that is drainning your battery.

Do the general tune-up stuff.

Determine wether your amps are on when your car is off. Also, try turning off your stereo while your driving and observe any effect.

You may want to spend the $10 and get an electrical analysis of both your system usage and what your alternator is pumping out. Its a great page of info.

Im guessing your voltage is getting very low and thus not firing your spark plugs effectively, but I dont know ****.

If your car runs dead while parked then either something is draining your battery, or your battery will not hold a charge.

What is the condition of your battery?

The problems sound connected hunt around for a bad ground or major drain to your electrical system. I would check the battery and sterio first. If you cant fix it, i reccomend takeing it to a shop ASAP such a large electrical drain is going to wear on your alternator.
