Terrible Stalling/Idling Issues (Searched) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

nissan_drifter · 02-22-2005, 12:13 AM

So when I tried to start my car minutes after turning it off today it turned over and then ran shitty for a few seconds, then stalled, fluctuating in between 600-50 RPMs, and it didnt get any better, so I leave, then search the forums, and come back, and now it wont turn over, the starter/battery/alternater are good, but it wont turn over. I thought it was vacuum issues, but now I have no clue because it isnt turning over, the plugs are fairly new, and its a 1998 KA with 127k, help please...

Did this problem happen all of a sudden? Did you do something to the car for this problem to happen?

Did you attempt any troubleshooting efforts, like 1). checking the fuel pump to see if you are actually getting gas, 2). Checking the spark plugs for spark. If you are not getting either, then it's possible that the ground wire above the oxygen sensor could have shorted out. Cut the ground wire grommet and resolder all the wires to the new grommet then rebolt the new grommet to the same ground point. A shorted out ground wire will cause No Start problems. I had this problem myself a while back...LOOONG story...
Anyhow, hope this helps.
