casually driving to work today in my 1990 240sx stock sr20det and it died,

-checked plugs and one of cap was unscrewed and was up off the plug
-its getting spark and fuel
-rolls over but has a weird chug to it like its a timing problem
-not leaking any thing and the plugs were burning brown.
-boost gauge was reading -20 before it died so i dont think its a boost leak

im a noob but anyhelp is appreciated....

can you explain how you tested if you were getting spark and fuel?

silly but check battery terminal connections or starter connections.

died after you got to work, or on the way? need more details.
Start small and work your way up.

Relays
Battery Voltage
Spark Plugs/Wires

well i got an update from the guy who is working on my car, said that the pin that holds one of the timing chain gears was sheared right off and one of them wasnt turning, the one that controls spark and what not (im a noob, dont know what im talking about) but i will have another update at the end of the day as to whether my valves got fucked up.
