Hey Ya'll!

It's my daily driver so I need some help asap!!!

So my 95 240sx Ka-T turns over but will not start after working for 568miles. After an exhausting seach I have decided to make my own first post.

Quick senerio; Motor was fully rebuilt (from the ground up) using new stock parts and full Greddy Turbo kit, 568 miles ago. I live in Florida and we had a severe temp change. The car died 5 times in two days and the 3rd day would not start. Changed out the spark plugs to iridium, oil (mobile 1), oil filter(K&N), fuel filter, and distributor wireharness (old and brittle).

Checked the fuel rail and injectors (getting fuel). Checked for spark (getting spark). Checked compression (Good!).

Question; Could it be a crank sensor or the Emanage? Could the distributor have something wrong but allow spark (at the plugs or internal)? What else should I check???

I ordered a new distriibutor today. I should have it in the next couple days. For some reason I think that's where the problem is... while testing, before new wire installed, when I jiggled it wanted to go but then never did so after. That's when I decided to change the distributor wire. zer...20990#Please if anyone has any idea's I am fresh out.
