so i got a 89 240sx

i was driving home from the junkyard and the car just died in middle of freeway. i was doing 65-70mph. i was in 3rd going into 4th passing a truck up. at first i thought it was the speed cut off on 4th but the car just kept slowing down and then it died!

OK.. i checked the
all fuses....good
all relayes(sp?)...good
i checked for codes and i got 13?
my ? is would this stop the car from starting?
fuel pump is good.
i did all tune up already.
the timing chain is still good! (thank god!)
but what i did notice is that i'm not getting spark from the coil and in the dis....but they are good. the spark plugs are wet.
read on some post about egi relay. he had the same problem. but mine seems to be fine....so HELP!!!!!

and just now i dropped that half rubber piece in front the valve cover into engine between the timing chain. so where does that lead to? i thinking that its oil pan...please someone confirm.

 

does somebody knows this?

 

failed ECU... uhhh, theres a bunch of electrical things that could go bad, a loose connection somewhere maybe. my RX7 did that once, I started it and it ran fine, then I went out on the road an punched it, and when I hit 4th it just bogged down and died. an hour later, it started again. never did figure it out.

 

ecu is fine...got that seal problem figure out. its in the oil pan...

DAMMIT!!!
but other thing is fat????...

 

morning...bump

 

heh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what are you smoking?

 

if it is not getting spark check your coil... dont know if you did that or not... you said spark plugs were good... but wet means it is either dumping too much fuel and flooding out or it is no spark... if there is no spark there are a few things that can cause it... one is the coil is bad... or the crank position sensor inside of the distributor took a crap... the distributor might toss a code or it might not... but the coil wont throw any code as it is not monitered by the ecu... get a new coil they are cheap... distributors are a little more expensive... check with the junk yards around you for that part...

 

check the wire harness to see if it is cut or broke near the fan.
on our cars the wireing sometimes hangs to low and gets rubbed by the fan. look 4 the black wire, i bet it is cut in half
