Hi. Guys. I need your help. Please give me some advice.

My 240sx won't run. Here is condition. I can start engine w/o problem but after 10-30 seconds later, engine stop. I can start it again but stop again.
Do u know what is problem and how can I check it. I installed new battery and alternator recently so I guess Electric is fine.

fuel pump or injecter??????

Thanks for your help.

What motor do you have? My GUESS and it is only a guess, is vacume leak. Please give more info on your set up.

Is it a very rough idle? IF you floor does it rev to about 2.5k and bounce?

Need more information dude. It could be as simple as a HUGE vacuum leak.
Bad MAF, unplugged MAF.

Crank your key to the on position, do you hear the fuel pump whine?

Theres just sooo many reasons for this. Just gather all you can about sounds/idle problems.

Plus if it was your fuel pump the car wouldnt start up again imo.

Check all vacuum lines, make sure MAF is plugged in.

Thanks guys.

It's not rough idle. Engine idle is good as usual.

I checked MAF plug. I will check vacuum lines tommorrow.
Thanks again.
