KA rough idle issues - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

went to start the car, started for a sec w/ a rough idle then died

tried to start again but wouldnt turn over; I attached some jumper cables and the car would turn over, idle for a sec, and then die

and it wouldnt idle enough for me to step on the throttle to keep it alive, just turned over roughly and instantly died.

ideas? thanks

dont think that fits the rough idle category how about my shit wont start. what have you checked so far.
fuel are you getting it.
any fuses blown?
What mods do you have?

U need supply alot more info before anyone will help.

You should probably start by checking the obvious things...

Spark Plugs? (Good condition?)
Fuel? (Everything working ok?)
MAF? (Nice and clean? How about the plug?)

More info would be nice also =)

mine did the same thing. i replaced my MAF, injectors, and cleaned my IACV valve and nothing helped. turned out to be a blown intake gasket. good luck check the IACV valve and all your gaskets and hoses
