Car won't start - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Terminus2k · 06-02-2006, 09:19 AM

I have searched and found some suggestions, Ive tried them. now im just looking to see if there is anything else i can try.
I was finishing up my turbo setup the other day, and the positive battery cable hit my intake manifold, it sparked quite large. I thought it was my fusible link, so we changed that, and it fixed nothing.
All of my electronics work. the key will go to the on position, and it acts normal. It's just when you go to turn it on it wont start. I get clicking from the fusebox in the floor, and in the hood, and ive tried relays from my buddys car and nothing changes. I can push start the car, and put a screwdriver to the starter and it works. any other ideas would be greatly apprecaited
sorry for the long post
thank you
kevin

there is a starter relay OUTSIDE of the fuse/relay box. In between teh battery and the fender. Check that.

you have the same problem i have rite now. i have no clue what the hell is going on with it either so i'm taking my car to the shop next week. does your motor crank over cause mine does. it just wont fire up. check that out. check your crank angle sensor, ignitor, ecu, and coils packs. i still have that prob so i'm sending my car ta the shop.

Did you ever remove the distributor? Or check for spark? Listen for fuel pump to turn on?

Terminus2k · 06-02-2006, 09:29 AM

thanks for the quick replys. i should say its a ka24de, so i dont have ignitor coil packs etc. the car turns on just not with the ignition.
tre, that relay your talking about, when i relocated my battery, i didnt see any relays. do you have a pic or anything?

tre · 06-02-2006, 09:32 AM

S14s do not have a starter relay like the S13 does.

There's a clutch interlock relay that does a similiar function in the main fusebox.

tre · 06-02-2006, 04:18 PM

oh he has an s14? lol

ScottMan · 06-02-2006, 08:06 PM

Yeah its an s14.

That's my friend's car.

I dont have one of those between my battery and fender (nor in it it seems). Im also having a problem with my starter I just bought about 1 month ago. Starting to just keep "whirring" with the key out of the ignition.
