Thread: HELP! Car died while driving, crank crank but won't start :(

Until he has tested the fuel pressure, battery voltage, compression test, & spark for all cylinders; probably should leave miko alone.

Looks like we've made some progress today. Got to work on the car for a couple hours, and recorded this video clip. Seems to be that, the fuel pressure regulator requires replacement (unable to hold fuel pressure at approx. 65 psi) and also the distributor assembly (tested strength of spark with spark tool and no spark illuminated). Didn't get to removing the valve cover yet, but with not a strong enough spark and unreliable fuel pressure these 2 items I believe need to be replaced to continue checking.

That sounds like something electrical or disconnected to me

stock fuel pressure should only be ~43 psi (no vacuum)

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought, almost like your fuel pump were out.....

The guys at work played a prank on me one day, he unplugged my distributor... and that's actually exactly what it sounded like.

You must be a very patient man, lol. I would be seriously pissed off and freaking out!

His sounded to me like trying to start a SR20 with all the spark plug wires disconnected at the plugs. :shrug:

Calling around locally no one can supply me with a either the regulator or distributor assembly. The Nissan dealer was kind enough to supply me with OE part #'s. Searching online with the OE part numbers, the distributor appears to have 2 options; 0.526" Diameter Rotor Cam -or- 0.475% Diameter Rotor Cam. Can anyone tell me where/what I should be measuring to find the difference?

Is that the difference between the lowport and highport or the GA16 and the SR20? No idea

I'm clueless too, ahhhh! Both options ARE for the SR20. What's lowport and highport mean?
