hey guys whats up. i have a couple questions i have a nissan 240sx 91ka24de and this thing idles fine in the cold but when it warms up it knocks alittle bit then when you give it gas it idles then shuts off every time. now for the good part. i replaced the thermostat,distributor,plugs,wires,cap,rotor,coil,ignition module,exhaust manifold gaskets,water pump,intake manifold gaskets,air filter lol,maf,head gasket is cometic three layer,i also have arp head studs, new timing chain(well upper at least),new lifters,coolant temp sensor and switch,had the head shaved with the front timing cover, and injectors were replaced with those from an s14. ok thats what i did but here is what it does start the car and it idles fine give it gas still ok but when it warms up it starts to knock alittle bit then code 34 comes on(knock sensor) give it gas again then it wants to idle at 500-1000 then it shuts off and if you start it back up it repeats this process. i ohm out all injector and they are 10.7 i also checked compression and they are 180 cyl#1 175 cyl#2 180 cyl #3 and 180 cyl#4. plugs are gapped to 33 and i ohm out everything else and i tested as much as alldata let me lol. plus if you try to drive it the car hesitates plugs end up black and kinda smells like gas in the oil but it looks ok. sorry for writing to much but i really need your help guys. thanks

Sounds like your timing is off. Re-check your timing marks are all aligned.
