Another option is should i just take it to a regular smog place again but a smog place that can fix my car and make it run right not just a smog check only place. But i think this well take all my money as well if not more. Basically I pay 70-80 dollars for smog test and then whatever it cost to fix.

Honestly, you're screwed either way with more money. Did you pay extra when you trade your blown car with a car that has a OBDII engine? Probably easier just to buy someone else's KA24DE and install it in. So you learn your lesson in not to buy someone else's project car.
Secondly, if $250 is all you have, then you're better off having the smog check guy pass it for you for now and then spend the 2 years trying to fix it. The other smog guy will probably end up charging you more than $250 if you have has to take the intake manifold off the reach the iacv or find what's causing the issue.
Third, is MIL still on? Find out why it is on, what code it is reading? Usually that's the first people will ask here before throwing random advise it may not work.
Lastly, my advise for you in life, cars are expensive and you are young and broke. Take from my other friends' experiences. Unless you want to become a mechanic (if you do, take electrical engineering), don't spend your money on the 240sx right now and get a good untouched commuter car like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord. Less stress for you with more time and money to concentrate other things in life. Everything costs money and it is no investment to spend money in a 20 year old project car that will screw you over royalty.
