Tons of SR timing problems!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Reasons why your SR is gonna run like shit for the rest of the time that you own it.

1. You don't know how to check timing
2. You don't know how to check sensor voltages
3. You didn't read the FSM
4. You don't don't know how to listen
5. You call people crackheads that are trying to help and have waaaaaaaaaaay more experience with this shit than you do.

I am going to post a few more useful things for you that will help your dumbass. If you can't figure out how to fix your car from all the things I've posted, than you are better off taking your car to a more capable person like me and paying them tons of money to fix it.

1. Check your codes.

2. Quoting myself from another post:

"Check your timing. Go buy a cheap inductive timing light from sears or autozone or whatever. Make sure it's a cheap one that doesn't have any special features because the expensive ones like to read 10 degrees off on SR's. Warm up your car for about 5 minutes until it gets to operating temp. Turn the car off, unplug the TPS, turn it back on, race the engine a couple times, and check the timing with the timing light. Make sure it's set to 15 BTDC which is the second mark from the right.

If the timing is dead on, then you need to start checking your different sensors such as your MAFS, TPS, knock, ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. O2 sensor doesn't really need to be checked because it only operates when you are cruising with a steady constant throttle. Read the S14 SR FSM for specs on all the sensors. The only S13 sensor that has different voltage or resistance specs from the S14 is the MAFS."

3. If for some reason you just can't get your base timing done correctly by using the method above, you can set it manually by pulling your valve cover. Here is a link to the page in the FSM that shows you how to do it.

4. If this is a fresh swap, check your wiring and confirm it with the heavythrottle guide.

5. Change your oil soon because you are running really rich and you are diluting your oil with fuel, that is unless you feel like throwing a bearing.
