Okay guys, bought a 240sx off Craigslist that ran like complete shit but I didn’t know anything about cars at the time. Fired on like 2 cylinders and couldn’t idle, backfired constantly and, arrived at my house with a cut open header, wires running to the wrong plugs, I make a tiny check and all my time and money been going into driving this on the road one day

I did work and research over the past 6 months to get this car running nicely, it runs good in IDLE, I can step on it and it will go back to good idle and stay idleing with decent response, little to no misfire

BUT AS SOON AS THE CAR MOVES A FOOT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS IN GEAR IT INSTANTLY SHUTS OFF

Is their something DIRECTLY linked to the car moving that could cause this? It’s so annoying as soon as I think it’s time to drive it after replacing a random part every fucking pay check just to have it die after 5mseconds of moving it’s killing me inside
