OMG my car is killing me!! :(

[WESIDA]

so as some of you know my 240sx went bad. i've been fixin it for 2 month now and everyday i think iam gonna get it back. first the mechanic tell ms the valve is leaking and there is a crack in the head so i get anew rebuilt along with a whole new timing kit and we fixed that. then he founds out injectors were bad so i was like ok i get that and fix it. then the dam fan thing doesnt turn so i get hat too . right when i though iam gonna get it back the MAFS goes bad and i had to order that again and put it on. notice every thing i order takes about at least a week to get to my hosue and give it to friend mechanic. so now i go and i find out the godam spark plug wires are bad so i get new ones for 75 thats another cool ownage. we put them on and ooo what a surprise the car is still shaking and sounds like theres a nice leak, its like nothing has been done to itthe guy said its not the HEAD it must be one of the senosors or vacumm. maan omg dude i feel like crying. he said its prbly not the Oxygen sensor. you guys have any idea what it could be?? so i can get ready for the next part that i can order after this (saracsitically). dude all i want is just my 240 this is the most bs i ever have with a carpeace

wow... that sucks... i know how you feel, im going through the same thing with my 240 lol

[Rosco]

Sounds like your 240 is ready for a SR swap (I'm assuming your car is KA'ed still)....hehehe. All our USDM 240's are getting pissed and jealous of all the swapped 240's out there it's like they are rejecting thier KA's...It's like a 240 revolt..lol. Anyway sorry you gotta go thru that.....Take it as a sign and swap a newer KA or whatever in her then call it a day...

Sounds like your mechanic is taking you to the cleaners and doesn't really know whats wrong.

[Rosco]

I agree, mechanic friend or not....An O2 sensor isn't exspensive or hard to replace either. Do that one yourself....also I would say you should get a 2nd opinion and don't tell him the history of what has been done just tell him the symptoms...That way he will look into everything and not be biased...

[fatboy]

your mechanic friend needs to diagnose more before he condemns parts

[WESIDA]

well the only reason i went to him is because hes' cheaper, i kinda worte the story as in one mechanic but its two. hes actually a good mechanic belive it or not. i went to check the car alogn time ago to a pro compnay and they said the head is cracked and needs about 1700 to fix so i just got pissed and bought a rebuilt head and gave it to this guy right now and he said he would put it on for 500 so i agreed, then from there hell broke lose. this is rape man. so now i have about 2000, maybe 4000 if i get a loan, what engine can i get, SR? the guy said he would put on a new engine for 600. but he said to hold on to see whats really wrong, if the KA turns out to be good and fixed right then iam just gonna super charge it and add little mods, if not then iam just gonna take it out drifting blow the motor, then get me anew engine

I think $2500 for a full clip at heavythrottle (s13 redtop)

[ILikeMy240sx]

Or pull the KA and try and rebuild it, if you think you can. The SR is great, but the KA can also be a devil of a motor too.

But at this point, SR will be cheaper.

ya yesterday my heart was set on getting an SR. but then again this new problem might not be something bad ih ope not. that engine is pretty strong, even though it only has 155hp. with my straight pipe maybe a little more. i tried to go start it at the shop yesterday night, it starts fine but then it starts to die and choke, i pump the gas untill it gets back up and from there its strong, but then it becaome weak or/and dies again. we'll see what happens, i'll update later

check fuel pressure

[WESIDA]

check fuel pressure

so if its bad then prbly the fuel pump?

[fatboy]

so if its bad then prbly the fuel pump?

well if fuel pressure isnt good enough, you've got a clooged filter or a pump. ****, ive even seen fuel lines thats gotten trashed that made the car have low fuel pressure

[WESIDA]

the guy said the pump is working good, nothing is worng with it. so he said it could be the fuel regulator. usually it should run at around 45-47 psi, but if it ran at about 35 or 25 it would do what i has now. it seems like the engine is getting too much fuel. because when we hold down the tube for the fuel (so not alot of fuel can go). the car starts to act real good and smooth.so prbly too much fuel is going in. thats why we think its the regulator. we will see. he also said the computer might be bad, but if after the regulator there is no luck. then iam heading straight to nissan

[fatboy]

well, if its getting toomuch fuel, thats a diff story. as far as the fuel pressure regulator. a quick check for it if to take the vacuum line off it. if its wet there, you need to replace it. the diaphram is busted

[WESIDA]

Ya well now i have bad new. its the end of my ka24de. its dead. we gave up nothing more we can do. i spent 900 buks to fix it and still with nothing. runs worse than before.its like a spark plug wire is out. feeling very dpressed dude i worked the whoel summer for money and buying stuff for this and i got owned at the end.the guy says he knows a nother perosn with a 240 for sale so we'll see about that maybei can take the engine. but then again if its like that i might as well get an sr20. iam telling you bros, this sucks *** man, sucks ***.WESIDA

Re-check the upper chain. Make sure the cams are line bang on. If you can pull 1 or 2 plug wire out and it still runs the same and you got fuel. Most likly it is your cams being a tooth off. A ka can run on 1-4 cyl runs like garbage but it runs, and it will run a 1-4 if the cams are out.
