If we are you last resort you're screwed... lol j/k

I bet you it's one of two things (if you already did plugs, wires, cap/rotor, O2 sensor etc..) it's either your AIV valve (you will not have one if it's a DOHC) or your Idle intake control valve... clean both of those and you should be good to go!

i am having the same problem but as it runs while keeping my foot on the gas the car back-fires..

If your idle drops lower and lower and it finally dies, your exhaust is probably restricted. Check your exhaust backpressure using a gauge designed for it. Probably just a screwed up catalyst or something.

thanks guys gonna give the ideas a go!

If you tried all of the obvious reasons, cap, pugs, wires, 02 sensor, etc. I might have something to do with maf, or sensor wires.

I'm surprised no one has bothered to say timing chain, base timing, gooped up throttle body, etc.

Start with timing. Check that.

My fist guess was Idle Air Contol Valve, sounds almost what my truck was doing when I had to replace that. I would also check your fuel presure. Does it still do it after the car as warmed up or just when your first start it?

[jepree]

no mine stays idle and when i drive now the check engine light blinks on and off in no particular order. my o2 sensor loose?

[Scooby24]

That actually does sound a lot like an o2 problem....misreading and CEL is getting thrown and it's probably either running too rich or too lean and dying.

[jepree]

yea i got a new o2 sensor ordered in from nissan today and its like 130.00 canadian so thats like 100.00 usd! i tried everywhere here and no one else sells em! i love my s14 so ill keep her runnin good!

thanks again for all the help fellas, ill post what happens when i try the o2!

your IACV is stuck. remove it and clean it and your problem should go away.
