1992 Nissan 240SX Fastback - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Starter motor or solenoid is going bad or cables are corroded. Clean all cables if car does not crank have someone try to crank it while you "smack" the started motor housing with a hammer or a long solid rod (hitting the rod with the hammer as it rests on starter motor case). Hit it sharply a few times. If it starts, then the starter motor is bad.

You will need to flush the steering system and then replace the steering rack and pinion assembly to cure this issue.

Clicking indicate poor connection between battery posts and cable clamps...clean them

You would need a repair book with wiring diagrams to troubleshoot the ignition system. You would need to know if the coil and module are getting power to begin.

Sounds like you need to adjust your clutch. Go to the library and get the automotive repair manual for your make and model of car. Look up the section for clutch adjustment. You'll have to decide whether or not you think you can do it.. You probably can if you have any hand tools...

If the battery is holding a charge, I would look at the alternator.

VIN number = Vehicle Identification Number

Just is one identification number and know that the glasses be retaled with this vehicle.

Hope helps.

It could be many things, i doubt the re-bore is anything to do with it. Firstly check to see if you have spark/fuel supply to the engine. The probable cause is down to a loose injector harness earth wire. Check the wires you took off paying particular attention to the engine earth wire. Hope this helps...

When replacing head gasket you had to disconnect and move spark plug wires and coil wire.Sounds to me if it ran for a little while then died out look for a burned wire by exhaust manifold.Something must of shorted out.Thats why it ran a little while and died.

If your wires are not properly grounded, your car will not start.

what have you tried? a weak coil could lead to no start condition, and still see spark, was there any work recently done?

self diagnosis on side of ecu located in passenger side kick panel should be a flat head screw turn key to on position turn screw to self diag watch the red and green blinks ,, also any leak between the maf and throttle body will cause a poor or no idle

replace it, its better to replace them all. properly rebuilding a fuel injector is just as costly as replacing it. and then all the testing you will need to do just to make sure it is flowing correctly, and besides the fact that it is already out... just replace it.

Either the clutch is not fully releasing or the syncronizers in the trans are worn.

CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR.......

relay under dash when it gets hot no start

If in the car, remove the exhaust pipe at the flange. Remove the valve copver. Insert a wood wedce between the timeing chane and tensioner. Remove the can shaft gear. Mark it with a punch to the chain. Unloosen the head bolts. the whole hed with the intake and exhaust manafold should lift out. If the lower block needs to be removed, remove all belts and hardware. undo the transmission bolts and starter. Remove the moter mounts. Use a sshort chain and bolt it to the engine body front and back. Use a small hoist to lift it out. Support the transmission and remove the radiator and A/C coil. Give it a shot, Keep track of the order things are taken apart. Mark all wires and vacuum lines.

Any 5w30 or 10w30 will work. I would go with a synthetic brand since it is an older vehicle. A little more expensive but oil is worth the cost.

About the only thing within time that can change from sitting that would effect starting performance is the fuel. The fuel is probably evaporating from your lines and other areas of the system.
Try turning the key to start with a pause till you hear the fuel pump stop, THEN turn it to run.
