My sr swap all of a suden does not want to start.The moter turns over. I checked 4 spark, i have that and i am getting fuel. Could it be a maf sensor or igniter chip problem. But if the igniter chip was busted i wouldnt get any spark, right? :wall: Any suggestions would be of really good help right know.

Check your grounds, how sure are you that you are getting fuel and enough of it, and adequate spark? If you have no fuel going through the motor it will mean one of your ground or power wire to ecu is not working. No ignitor will prevent and spark, if crank angle sensor is defective it will tend to fire at the wrong time.

Hope That helps.

Also check your ECU, with spark and fuel, it may tell you the code for you MAF. Also have you had your ECU flashed, if you have, it is possible that it has gone bad...

cummon arro dont be so mean....

Ok, Sounds like a typical lame MAF situation.

How do you know you have fuel? Is the fuel pump making noise? Are the injectors firing? Ok is the RED LAMP on the ecm on?

If all of these check out, then unplug the maf and try to start up the car. It should fire right up, but not pull through the rpm's corectly. From here you can use a standard KA maf to run the car perfectly fine. Or use and SAFC and do a 300zx or Q45 maf upgrade.
