Help diagnosis no start issue
Hi everybody, just picked up a 91 240sx with the stock ka24de. When I bought the car, it started fine. Idle jumped a bit, but ran ok. Since the car was far away and the brakes weren't great, I wanted AAA to tow it home, so initially I pulled the ignitor fuse (top left fuse in the fuse box by the battery). Went to start the car and it started fine. So I put that back in, pulled the fuel pump fuse and then started the car and it died from lack of fuel. Had it towed home to find the battery was dead. Tried to jump it, but didn't start. So I replaced the battery and still it won't start. While trying to start it, it will seem like it's going to start for a second, then nothing. I smell lots of fuel in the engine bay and exhaust, so it seems to be flooding.
I didn't have much time to look at it, but going to work on it tomorrow and wanted to know where to start and get some ideas. I'm thinking maybe the plugs got fouled from too much fuel, in which case I have a new set. Also maybe when I pulled the ignitor fuse it got the distributor out of time? But then I thought it's mechanically driven, so probably not, right? Any way, I just wanted to see if I could get some points on where to start tomorrow so I can get it running quickly and on to fixing the brake issues. Thanks!
