need help asap

okay i got the engine running... here's the problem, it will not idle. it'll start, run for a few seconds, rev to like 2000~2500 rpm and then drop to 0 rpm and die...

i've plugged all the vaccume lines [removed EGR] and that's all that i can really thing of. the only other thing is the AAI [idle speed controler]

any and all help would be nice

thanks

Damn that blows it sounds like a leak to me. The idle control is pretty much trial and error I dont think that would be the prob if it spikes to 2500 and dies

seriously answer ur damn phone.

I need to get the oil pump

Check the IACV

well i figured out part of the problem, there was the injector ground wire that was not connected...

so now it still does not idle... grr...

took care of the vacuum leak and everything, joe says that my timing is off and i agree with him because when i drive it there is a missfire a lot. so my question to you guys is how do you time a KA24DE???

seriously, this is confusing the hell out of me

Doesn't joe have a timing gun ask him it took us like 12 hours to get the timing right on his car but it wouldnt have takin as long if he would have plugged in all the spark plug wires in the correct order. Just get a timing gun and start at top dead center. Then advance the distributor if needed to line up the timing hashed on the cank

since when is base timine considered 20 degrees advanced???

i'm going to have to check on that, however the rest of that jives with the chilton manual.

still cannot find anything about timing in the FSM... wierd

well youre probably 20 degrees retarded. so check that

scratch that, youre fully retarded

AAAAHHH HA HA funny man right here mr. i can't get my transmission back on my car

did you read that writeup? it said that at 700~750 rpm the timing should be 20 degrees advanced

Yes I remember joes car having to advance a hair for it not to run like shit. We advance the distributor probably more then 20 so it wouldnt sputter but then again we were goin by trial and error

i give up...

i'm taking it to nissan tomorrow... it'll run but it won't idle and under hard revs it missfires

three days... three days i've been fucking with this, i give up

you give up on cars too easily. atleast youre not junking it this time

U should have just bought a motor from a machine shop and with a warranty aswell as one with low miles or saved ur money for an sr i deliberately want to blow my motor just to get an sr...........But trial and error is the best advice i could give u.

You think ur having trouble with timing you should have seen me n joe setting his chain last night I took off cuz it was so retarded. Setting and pulling the fuckin thing off cuz its a link off I can only imagine how much harder it will be once we have to set distribution timing

it's all good, as long as the motor is set ot TDC and the spark plug wires are in the right place

yes spark plug wires make sure to check them a 7th time this time "idiot"(napolean dynamite voice)

i need to talk to someone that knows the KA24DE motor inside and out...

i think my lower timing chain is off one or more teeth and i need help to figure out which way to adjust it... you know without actually "trial and error-ing" it???

any help would be apriciated

please PM me with a phone number cause talking on AIM or w/e is to slow and difficult

thanks

trial and error is where it's at.

I'm tyring to figure out why my crank only spins one way
