Crank no start. Start with carb cleaner only

Asked by SYsrt41997 Jun 04, 2020 at 07:58 PM about the 1987 Nissan 300ZX 2 Dr GS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car drove with a miss fire on cylinder 4 with a
external leak of the fuel injector. Replaced all 6
injectors, all 6 spark plugs wires, wires, intake
gasket. Previous owner recently did distributor
, fuel filter and fuel regulator. Replaced all
components above and not I have a crank no
start. I use carb cleaner and constantly spray
it in the intake and the car will run for a long
time or unroll I stop spraying. Figured why not
and put a 255 fuel pump in as it was a
cheeper alternative vs stock pump. Same
thing, crank no start. I have spark, all spark
wires are ran correctly. Car drove wjere it now
is sitting and I’m very stumbled.  Not really
familiar with imports but solid with GM and
Chrysler products.

May be air in the fuel line. Check to see if you are getting fuel to the filter inside the engine compartment on the driver's. When you turn the key on to accessories you should be able to hear the pump turn on and you can check at the fuel filter if there is fuel coming out. Just be careful there's quite a bit of pressure behind it

Yes I can hear the pump kick on when I do turn. The key to acc. I switched the normal fuel filter with a glass clear filter. I can visually see the filter fill up with fluid. I’ll try by removing the fuel line and place in a bucket to see if I get constant flow.
