ok im buying this 240 as a project car, the kid said one day he was driving and the car bogged down and lost like half the horsepower, he shut the car off and now he says he cant start it, i talked to someone knowledgeable and he said it might be the air flow sensor, does anyone have any ideas? im getting the car for practically nothing

 

does it crank??

 

sounds like he overheated and the pistons welded themselves to the block... or had at least SOMETHING to do with overheating. I gar-on-tee!

 

it doesnt crank right now but he said the battery is dead, he did say he recharged and it didnt crank though, so i have no idea, could it be the air flow sensor, also someone said it could be the air something electronics (idk something like that)

 

If it's a project car then you should change that motor. The owner sounds like a newb anyways, so you never know what REALLY happened.

 

do an SR swap and be done with it

 

Read my sig.
Be more original and turbo a good KA... not saying that turboing a KA is fully original, but better than jumping on the sr bandwagon.
