Car sometimes running on 3 cylinders! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Stock ka24de with 183,xxx miles. The motor starts to sound like a subaru wrx and it feels weaker like it's running on 3 cylinders. It started acting up today and it only happens on and off but it's getting pretty frequent. I was told it was either a bad injector or no compression in one or more cylinders. I bought the car with 150,xxx miles and have changed oil every 3000 miles and filled it with 91 octane.

I checked the spark plug wires. Haven't checked the spark plugs yet but they were changed ~7-10k miles ago. No check engine light warning either.

I found this thread: http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.p...ight=cylinders

Sounds similar to mine except that mine happens on and off. Any other ideas or suggestions?
