Hi guys bought S14 was starting till tonight guy told me was MAF sensor. When turning ignition car cranks but doesnt catch and rpm guage spikes through 4 and 7000 RPM. Anyone experiencing similar difficulties or know what I might need to fix or know a 240sx mechanic.
 
it should still start even with a bad maf. sounds more like a huge! vacuum leak....like when the brake booster hose gets disconnected. check the obvious. check spark, fuel, check the codes on the ecu,.... just try it....;)
 
flathead screw driver and read the directions on the ecu. write down the codes and then post em here or look em up on nico.com you gotta pull the ecu off the chassy but leave it conected.
 
okay cool thanks much ill start first thing in the morning

the cars ignition is in the on position but the rpm guage is at 3000rpms also when turning on it makes a long funny almost grating noise before any lights show up on the dash. in self diagnostic mode the red light doest blink at all.

Tried again did it properly this time and got 55 - No error but car still wont start. even with a gd battery.

update had someone look at it the fuel pump works and the car starts now. Changed the rotor inside the distributor cap. However the car dies at times and the engine just cuts out even when clutch is down but it starts up right away. so something else is the problem. Guy said it might be alternator or Timing on the engine. What do you guys think?
