HI,
I'm having an issue with my '85 Nissan 300zx na 2+2. In a nut shell, it wont start. When I crank it, it tries and tries, but never acts like it's getting a spark. I've changed the distributor cap and the rotor and nothing happened. I've checked the plugs, and they're all gettin' a spark, but it doesn't seem to be lighting the fuel. Oh yeah, and when I crank it, I get a STRONG odor of gas.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Fuel leak? Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator? Make sure the vacuum line isn't pulling gas through it. If it is the, fpr is broken. Could be causing a major flooding condition. Sounds silly, but also make sure the cams are lined up properly.

wow. I thought I had learned a little about this car. I don't know what/where the fuel regulator is, how to tell if the vaccum line has fuel, or how to make sure cams lined up.

As always, I am deeply impressed with the advice given in this forum. I checked my chilton book and found where the FPR is. Went out to the car and.....whataya know.....the wire going to it was all kinds of burnt and charred. I wiggled it and my car started(not right then. when I turned the key over) So just change out that wire right?
Still curious about the cams though.

Sometimes if the timing belt is loose the cams can jump a few degrees, leaving the valves open during the compression stroke, and leaving the cylinders with no compression. And the engine doesn't start.

Ah, must be the fuel temperature sensor. I didn't know it would keep the car from starting, though. Guess I was in the right place for the wrong reason.....
