s13 coupe won't start - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Atill93 · 01-16-2013, 10:27 PM

I just replaced the clutch and flywheel in my 1991 Nissan 240sx. I put the driveshaft, transmission and starter back on today and tightened everything down. I went to start the car and it fired up for about 4 seconds and then died. Now I can't get it to fire up. I hear the starter working really hard but thats it

Any ideas as to what it might be? The car cranked right up before I replaced the clutch. Please help

Thanks

Make sure you didn't run out of gas. Sorry man, that's all I got. You think you'd have more suggestions by now.

Check your fuses, then check to see if your getting spark and fuel.

first thing i would do is take all those stickers off the window then i would check my harness and all my fuses.

Check your ecu codes to see if your tps or maf is failing or other things that what I normally do before I diagnose any thing.

tps, thats the throttle position sensor behind the gas pedal correct? how exactly does one check ecu codes, with software?

Check ur spark plug connections

S1lviacoupe · 01-23-2013, 10:18 PM

Had the same problem today. Try the spark plugs

khon240sx · 01-23-2013, 10:24 PM

check the fuel pump, ignition coil wire to distributor, and check if it has spark.

thank you for all the feedback guys!! i finally got her running tonight. charged the battery up and after bleeding the clutch and some aggressive gas pedal pumping she fired up. i took her out for a test drive and the new clutch feels amazing. so happy to be driving her again. thanks again!
