my engine is retarded
any of you mechanics know how to fix my 92 240se? my engine suddenly started to shake really bad. it feels like it lost half of it's power and feels like its running on 3 cylinders. when i apply gas, it sounds like a old beat up buggy.
i changed new spark plugs and replaced the distributor cap and sanded the rotor. did compression test and compression was good at all 4 cylinders. checked spark plug wires and they have normal readings. opened valve cover to inspect any faulty valves but they are fine. im changing my fuel filter today and i will see if its that. any suggestions on what else needs to be done? help me solve this very annoying problem plz. i cant even go on the freeway because of this. |
check your injectors and your engine electronics ( fuels delivery)

Dude same **** happend to me (still trying to work it out).
Here is what I've done so far, I replaced the KNOCK sensor, but that didn't fix much, some of the shaking stoped though, but still feels like it has only 1/2 its power. I was going to repalce the fuel filter soon to, let me know if it helps out, and i'll let you know if I come up with anything else. |
:dunno: Check your motor mounts.

nope...check timing....i bet you that is the only thing left to check.
run through the whole timing checklist and i hope that will work. worked on Rude240 when he got a rebuild last year |
yay. replaced the freakin fuel filter and walla!!! back to normal:)
im a noob, so it took me like 1 1/2 hour to replace heheheh. i installed the 95 300zx fuel filter.... i heard it gets you better revs? |
k0ol, glad u fixed the problem!
|
lol yeah its hard to run four cylinders on only 2 cylinders worth of gas
|
did you use the non-turbo fuel filter or the turbo fuel filter from the 95 300zx, going to replace mine this weekend.

okay thanks.

Put a 95 300zx fuel filter on my car this weekend. The rev up is real impressive, and the down shift respons is real impressive. My motor still has a little shake to it though, so it didn't really fix all my problems, but it is running way way better.
|
i think my car never had a chacnge in the fuel filter, cuz when i replaced it, it had the oem filter:eek: cool to know that it helped u a bit:)
|
i used a Z32 fuel filter on my other car...i liked it...my butt dyno couldnt tell the diffrence...but knowing more fuel could pass through made me FEEL better
|
yeah i'm not really sure if i really got much out of it, but going from it running like crap to running like it is now...its a big diff.
|
help!!! after running smooth for about 300-400 miles on the new fuel filter, the problem has occured again! :eek: my friend told me to change my thermastat. is that the right thing to do? im really broke now and im not sure can i bring it into a shop for diagnose. plz help my ka24de
problem: engine shakes really bad, and feels lost of power by 1/3-1/2. done: checked ignition coil, wires, replaced plugs, passed compression test, new distributor cap, resurfaced rotor, used fuel injector cleaner (no leaks) |
