my 1992 240sx stalls .......

my 1992 240sx stalls when the car is hot. Cold starts are fine. But after driving it and turn it off for 10 min, I have trouble starting it and when it starts it bogs for a bit. Does anyone know what this might be.

Leaky injector?

Actually 2nd generation RX-7's are notorious for exactly this problem. Cold starts are just fine, but there is a problem with the ECU that leaves an injector open occasionally when you kill the car. All the pressure in the fuel rail leaks out through the open injector, filling the combustion chamber with gas. If you try to start the car, it won't start because it's flooded, and rotaries don't like to unflood themselves. Once the car has sat for several hours, the gas will evaporate, and the car will start like nothing's wrong.

So, if you have a leaking injector or o-ring, when you kill the car, it will flood it as it releases pressure from the fuel rail. This could be your problem, or it could be a hundred other things. I was just throwing an idea out there.

just d/l the FSM that's floating around this site & start reading the diagnostic process...

sometimes the RX& problem is grounding (i know, i have one)make sure your ecu is grounded properly
