Hello Nico.
I have a '92 s13 with a KaDe, 126k, Catback, and a no name intake cone.

Last week, I went to the store to pick sumthing up,upon returning, i turned the car on and it had a bad misfire. I drove home and tried to diagnose the problem, but im stumped.
It misfired hella bad, and i can smell raw fuel out of the exhaust. i replaced the #2 injector [old injector read 0 ohms] And Spark Plugs [old plugs covered in gas] but it didnt help the problem. It idled better, But didnt fix the misfire.
I have to open the throttle while cranking for it to start, when doing so, the intake backfires.

I tried adjusting timing, removing the hose from the intake to the black box, replacing plugs, replaceing bad injector, and cleaning my cap and rotor. i Checked the ECU and it threw code "21: +Ignition Signal Cuircuit" Im Thinkin its my ignition transistor chip next to the coil, but i dont have any spares. My friend said i might have to replace the head, or machine it. I dont have funding for that.

Any Suggestions??

Likely culprits would be the coil and the crank position sensor. Usually when power transistors go out, the car won't start at all. Check out the FSM, pages EC&EF - 93 thru 95, 104 thru 106, and 161 for the diagnostics.

Oh, and page EC&EF 159 for the crank position sensor diagnostic.

Thank You For Your Help, I Will Look Into It Later.
But The Ecu Threw Code 21, not 11(CAS). So Wouldnt Tha Mean My CAS Is Ok? Maybe The Motor Jumped Timing though?

My apologies, I was reading the inputs for the system and the CAS got locked in my skull. It's possible that you jumped timing, but the coil is more likely.
