yes sounds like the gear shifter linkage is out of whack or jammed check the transmission fluid also make sure its not low take off your cover on the shifter and see if it is stuck also see if the tranny fluid is ok and not burnt cause if burnt it will be thin and not let the gears move around freely

when you are at the -C- display (you may have to wait up to 3 mins) press program button 5.

Use Up or Down buttons for first digit - Press 5 to store
Repeat for digits 2 3 & 4

Job done.

TELL ME YOUR YEAR AND MODEL.IF YOU HAVE NEWER MODEL WASTE GATE CONTROLLED BY PCM.HAVE VECHICLE SCANNED.IF YOU OLDER VECHICLE PROBLEM COULD BE OBSTRUCTED HOSE BETWEEN COMPRESSOR OR CONTROL CANISTER.YOU COULD HAVE LEAKING DIAPHRAM IN CANISTER.

it may be due to bad ignition module. if it so then main symptom is that it runs fine down the freeway
and as soon as you pull off on an exit it dies. It eventually gets
worse where it dies going down the road.

The thing costs more than $100 .

Replace the vehicle computer

The Owners manual can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/npoc
The service manual can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/?dyzhbsdg9dc

check the blower motor

You ca find it ni the manual.. If not - got to autozone.com and create an account and enter the car info in.. Then you will have a worth of info, how to's and diagrams such as the fuse panel..

Have a great day !

Assuming ( I know that is dangerous ) that everything is out of wack, I'll explain static timing.
First remove your top , cam / rocker cover.
Looking at the front crankshaft pulley, turn the engine over ( you can use a socket and ratchet on the pulley bolt , easier if all the plugs are out ) until the mark on the pulley lines up with the mark on the timing chain cover Known as TDC or Top Dead Centre, to double check, have a look down the spark plug hole on number one cylinder ( the front one ), the piston should be at the top.
Now looking at the valves for #1 cylinder, they will either be rocking ( changing from exhaust to inlet ) or , firing ( both closed )
Turn the engine till it is on TDC and the valves on #1 are closed ( firing)
It is now time to look at the distributor.
Remove the distributor cap, note where on the cap the lead to #1 spark plug is. On removal the rotor should be aligned with #1 plug.
It is very common to have the distributor 180 degrees out.
If the rotor is not where it should be , you have two options, move the plug leads till #1 lead is in the correct place , or remove and reset the distributor to the correct place.
Loosen the bolt holding the distributor from turning ( You will have already set the points gap , 20 thousands of an inch will work)
slowly rotate the distributor opposite the direction the rotor turns, until (with the ignition on ) you see a spark at the points. This is the point that the distributor is firing a spark to #1 cylinder which is at TDC on its compression stroke.
Reassemble the motor , plugs in, rocker cover on, plug leads connected, distributor cap on, distributor tightened up ( not too tight )
Kick it in the guts and it will start!
Now, using a timing light , shining on the front pulley and connected to #1 plug adjust for about 8 degrees of advance, this is an old engine and everything is probably worn so best running may not be what the book says, trial and error may be the way forward.
Don't forget to tighten the distributor once you have finished adjustments.
Good luck, Very cool car, there are a few racing here in New Zealand.

Pull your plugs to see if they are soaked in gas. Look down into the engine with a flashlight to see if there is any fuel. Flooding the pistons with gas will cause the engine to crank but never start. If you're sure your spark plugs are ok and you don't have a strong smell of gas, I'd check your timing.

The Datsun 260's were the first Z's with electronic ignition and it consisted of an "ECU" also referred to by Nissan as a "transistor ignition" It is mounted in the passenger kick panel - there was a TSB (technical service bullentin) concerning bad connectors from the factory-and pointless distributor and properly 'ohmed' coil. So the transistor ignition is basically your vehicle computer. The ECU is a small computer that is constantly checking sensors, adjusting settings, and logging information, if it is burned out then your car would not start

hmm no spark..

check our high tension lead, coil and distributor..

also check your main power fuse,, its an 80 -90 amp fuse under the fuse panel..

What exact vehicle are we speaking of and engine size?

Check the distributor timing - remove the distributor and check the bottom gear shear pin - this holds the little gear in place -Also check the cam timing. Remove the valve cover and check for a broken cam - check the fuel - that is flowing evenly -

The clutch and the power steering does not share the same master cylinders.

Please have the power steering pump replaced so the steering will be soft for easy turning while steering and replace the clutch and check all the hoses.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya.com

bleed master cylinder first and then furthest wheel away from master cylinder

pull the engine
