Ruff starting.
Ruff starting.
92 240sx. Has a stock KA24DE engine. Turn the key to start, turns over, starts to start, then after a second, stops running. This happens 10 to 15 times. Then will start. But runs like crap till it warms up. What do I need to look at. Don't say a new car.

Re: Ruff starting.
Check your spark plugs, wires, Cap. Then start looking at fuel system, Compression numbers.
Re: Ruff starting.
Put new plugs in. Ran worse. Put the old one back in. Wires are good Put a new fuel filter in. I did check the flow of the filter before installing. Cap is about a year old. Compression? When it runs, (after it's warmed up) it runs normal. This is a second hand engine I had installed five years ago. It NEVER ran as good as the first engine.

Re: Ruff starting.
Could be a bad ignition coil. Check that out as well if you haven't already.
What type of plugs are you using?? Did the old plugs have oil or gas on them??

Re: Ruff starting.
Old plugs were clean. No oil. Will check coil.

Re: Ruff starting.
This actually leads me to believe it's a cold-start issue, closed-loop operation problem.
Temp sensor is typically the culprit.
