check your coolant temperature sensor its on the intake manifold twords the front. this happened to be a while back so hope it works for you man.

[DALAZ_68]

but...its not hot, it front a cold start...but ill check it if u can give me a pic of it...?

but how would a coolant sensor have to do with it if its a cold start?im not tryin to sound like a prick i hoenstly dont knoe... i apoligize if it sounds like im tryin to be a smart *** honestly

i have AIM whopperbb

[240RB1]

i really dont know what it has to do but it worked for me its between the manifold and the head it is usually a gold probe with a red top

[DALAZ_68]

i cant see anything wrongt with it, it doesnt look burn out or anything...

[240RB1]

they dont look burnt or worn infact they look new becuase the wetr antifreeze are constantly cleaning it they just fail overtime go to a junkyard and get a couple or buy a new one thats what i did it was somewhere around 16-17 dollars

[DALAZ_68]

damn, well i needa find more trouble shoots...i dont have a car to go the yard rite now lol

[240RB1]

this probably wont help much but who knows when my car wouldnt start befor the sensor while the car was hot we searched and found thet the fuel pump relay didnt work ,it would prime the lines but would give out once it tied to start and we replaced it and the sensor and ive been beating the s**t out of it since then with no problem.

[DALAZ_68]

i mean i could only see it being a problem if it was hot, but it isnt...the thing is cold (the car) but i guess it might be a sensor sayin this doesnt work dont let car start kinda problem... and i i dont have an engine light either...

[240RB1]

try these things and see if they check out or nothttp://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=160218

[DALAZ_68]

ok i checked the gas flow...i disconnected the line that feeds fuel to the filter to the fuel rail, and it comes out in squirts, wut could that mean...i knoe it might mean not ebough fuel at once to cause proper combustions, but if the fuel pump is pumping, wut could cause the low fuel flow?

[DALAZ_68]

any one in socal near L.A. (close to dodger stadium ) willing to come down and look at my car for some beer lol

[DALAZ_68]

i wanna take apart the injectors to see, but i need pics for help...

[neverlift]

dont **** with your injectors... was the car running before this happened?

check your ecu for codes.

it will tell you if your cts is bad(should) mine does(stanza ecu)or if you own an ohm meter/multimeter you can check it that way as well. stop buying stuff. DOes your tach move when trying to start. Again a code check would tell you this.

[DALAZ_68]

well i didnt mess with the injectors, i just read the troubleshoot list and it said to check em ...but i havent...yes the car was running normally just yesterday...

no the tach doesnt move when tryin to start

were can i get a code check, i dont have money to tow this things around...or were can i rent one? but isnt the 90 a pre OBD car?

[neverlift]

you check them yourself. remove passenger kick panel use a 10mm socket and extension to lower the ecu,put car to start but not fire,insert small flat head and turn the screw it says which way on the ecu....

your gonna have a 21 IIRC your primary ignition signal. I'd start with a junk yard ignitor. IF thats not it(and your coil is good) look into a dizzy. sorry for your luck

[DALAZ_68]

well finally fixed it...it was the hose of the fuel pump... it tore, simply put i was getting gas...

freakin aye

[nismoracingsx]

at least you fixed it in a day, good job mang

[DALAZ_68]
