Having trouble with sr20de s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ok so I am having a problem with my sr20de(non turbo) I was driving home the last night and the engine had a loss of power wasn't over heating and oil level was fine. it seems like on the the cylnders isn't firing or maybe something wrong with the timing. it shutters very bad at start up and runs very rough and has very little acceleration power. sometimes even while comming to a stop the engine will just die on me. it is running on a ka24e ecu and a modded ka24e wiring harness. It definately seems like only 3 cylnders are firing just because of the loss of power. There is no water in my oil so there isn't any head issues.

any suggestions?

thanks
tim

problem is still occuring I added some injector cleaner and checked the timming and all of the plugs are still firing but I didn't to check the actual timming itself.

symptoms:
has a rough time idiling drops pretty low and I must rev on occasion to keep the engine from dying.
takes a long time to accelerate up to normal speed
top speed on flat ground is just about 70-75mph while flooring it in 5th gear

check your timing and post on sr20forum... this isnt really a prime place for DE questions
