My 240 sounds like wrx - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Osmar · 10-14-2010, 01:18 AM

It wont run properly
cilinder #3 ist firing
i took the wires out 1 at the
time while car was runing
and #3 cilinder won't do anything.

it comes and goes even when
im in the high way. some times
it just loses power and sounds
like wrx

ILoveMyRHS13 · 10-14-2010, 01:19 AM

Good work, Copernicus.

Make sure it's getting fuel AND spark to all 4 cylinders.

theslows13 · 10-14-2010, 01:25 AM

bad injector. callin it now

when you pulled #3 wire, was it still tryin to arc to the plug as you removed it? if so, you got spark.

jdmjap808 · 10-14-2010, 01:26 AM

change your fuel filter and flush out or buy new injectors.. Oh add some sea foam, it should help out a bit

ChiSleepyEyes · 10-14-2010, 01:27 AM

Injector hands down

ILoveMyRHS13 · 10-14-2010, 01:28 AM

Yup, my car killed injector #3 last year. It's a common problem.

Osmar · 10-14-2010, 01:32 AM

I took the wire of cilinder#3 an it
was runing the same

Ph0king · 10-14-2010, 01:48 AM

its probably your Distributor rotor and cap. That was the source of my problem when I had that.

S13project · 10-14-2010, 01:52 AM

when i got the boxer sound it was due to a wire backing out of one of the injector plugs. re-pinned that wire and ran clean

chetacheese · 10-14-2010, 01:59 AM

injector

+1

Perfect Balance · 10-14-2010, 04:38 PM

I'm going with injector as well. Had to replace mine last year as well.

besTint · 10-14-2010, 04:42 PM

is this a SR? KA? if it's a SR, i say bad coilpack.

I'm assuming its KA since he said he pulled spark plug wires. Possibilities: spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel injector, or a problem i personally experienced: fuel injector harness. Try wiggling the clip that goes to that injector while its running and if the idles jumps it could be that. Take the clip off and inspect it for any corrosion or a burnt look

Marcus · 10-14-2010, 06:30 PM

check to see if the spark plugs are all the way in

zylvia213 · 10-14-2010, 06:37 PM

I say injector too...

SR20Driftking4lyf · 10-15-2010, 08:24 AM

I had a similar problem prior to doing my swap and had a bad injector on the KA, I would start there for sure.

ElmStormer · 10-15-2010, 08:38 AM

Going with injector also.

240sx123$ · 10-15-2010, 09:17 AM

One more vote for injector here.

If not that, then its definitely the muffler bearings.

iamtheyi · 10-15-2010, 01:31 PM

lol most people that have this problem it's caues of the injector.

kalypso123 · 10-15-2010, 10:39 PM

could be a loose or damaged MAF wire.

but bad injector or coil pack sounds right.

:0)

Mangudai · 10-15-2010, 11:18 PM

You could test injector #3 with a multimeter on ohms or get a long screwdriver and put the metal end directly on the injector and listen to see if you can hear it cycling.

lflkajfj12123 · 10-15-2010, 11:24 PM

#3 injector

super common problem

had to do it twice in 6 months

locoluna825 · 10-15-2010, 11:27 PM

^ With him on that one. Try a Noid Light. Ka hanresses connectors like to rot out and turn green. I wilgled my connectors on the injectors and would affect the idle. I had to buy all new EV1 style connectors and solder them into my harness to get rid of that. Now im having trouble with one of my exhuast camshaft rockers. when The hydrolic tappet smashes down on me, The car sounds just like a "WRX" lol

speedracer2169 · 10-15-2010, 11:34 PM

I'm having a very similar issue. It usually only does it when there is a lot of moisture in the air like when it rains. I can smell gas coming out of the exhaust while it's misfiring so I'm assuming its an ignition or maf problem or maybe egr but I havent had time to diagnose let alone where to start. Any ideas?

omgRWDgoodness! · 10-15-2010, 11:35 PM

Or maybe he's just ***king with all of us and secretly has an EJ in there...

1jz_240 · 10-15-2010, 11:45 PM

im having the same problem! except mine is on #4. does it matter which one? because it did it most of the day and then BAM it started working fine again. injector?

locoluna825 · 10-16-2010, 12:21 AM

^either that or its the harness.

Mangudai · 10-16-2010, 12:57 AM

Didnt know this was such a common problem? Or maybe its because these cars are getting older and older..not sure. I think one of mine is stuck open as my fuel economy is in the toilet but I'll be taking care of that soon.

rob22 · 10-16-2010, 02:36 AM

i hate ka injectors..

S-Nation S13 · 10-16-2010, 03:37 AM

many of you guys are saying bad injector, but what about bad injector o-rings? mine failed and sounded like a wrx as well
