I just performed a sr20det swap into my 90' 240 sx. I went o start the car but it idle's like crap and is running really rich. I have spark in alll cyclinders but every time I pull my plugs they're black and smell like fuel. I checked all my wiring and everything is hooked up right. I've checked for leaks and can't find any. Any suggestions on what the problem could be. All my fuel lines are hooked up right too. The car will idle really rough but if you give it gas it stalls out.

Have you changed the FPR.

 

[nitrousfed]

No but I hooked a FP gauge up to it and it reads 39 PSi steady.

check the timing.

sounds like timing and or vacume line.... or you blew your intake manifold gasget. that happened on my rx7. was doing some work on it and it had been sitting for a while finished and went to start it up and the gasget just blew as soon as i started it. then it ran like how your describing give it gas and it would stall. but the black plugs sound like your af ratio is off or your timing.

I've lined up the adjustment to the old ghost marks when the swap was done I've tried moving it but there's no difference. I'm not throwing any CEL's either but could the cam angle sensor be bad and not throw a CEL ?

maby its the maf sensor

cant be, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rev past 2500.

OK i had the same problem with my KA when i replaced the timing tensioner and it turned out to be that i put the oil pump back in wrong...once i took it out and reset it to match TDC with the motor, it started right up and idled smooth...so that is another possibility. Good Luck

If it's a problem like that then it wasn't anything I did. I tried unpluging the maf and there's no change It's hard to diag. this car cause I have no manual on the sr20det's ?

I tried unpluging the maf and there's no change

Doesnt that tell you something? Unplugging the maf should make a change...

 

[nitrousfed]

I was told that if the car runs like crap and you unplug the maf and it still runs like crap the MAF isn't bad

get a timing light on it. and check for any vacuum or intake leaks. just having one vacuum line off or put on wrong will make it run like that.and how did you install the cas? it could be off a tooth.
