I am getting frustrated here.
My VE nx has been randomly dying on me lately,and I can't find the problem.
The car starts and runs good,idles perfect,and has never died while idling.But if I drive around,it will just die,and I keep trying to start it,cranks fine but no start....then after a few minutes of trying,etc.It will start again,and all is like normal until it dies again....it is like someone has a remote shutoff and they are focking with me,LOL![rofl](images/emoji/happy/rofl.gif)
Replaced recently....(since the problem started)with new Nissan parts ,wires,cap, rotor, z32 fuel filter,and ngk plugs.No major change,still same problem.
I get code 21...ignition signal.I have an FSM,and tested everything in the ignition system,and everything checks out perfectly
WTF
ECU,ignition switch,power transistor,coil,distributor,resistor/condenser,Etc....all good.All my plugs and harnesses are in great shape too.
Is it possible for any of these components to fail intermittantly...like the coil,or dizzy???
I have had alot of cars and have never heard of this happening.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.I can get more than a mile from the house without breaking down.I have been stuck like 10 times in the last week,trying to figure this out.
Once time...it died,I got out ,pulled a plug and cranked it,and it started on 3 cyls and had great spark...so I put the spark plug back in and it fired right up.I got a few blocks,and it did it again.CRAZY CHIT MAN![eek](images/emoji/neutral/eek.gif)
I even tried pulling the fuel pump,thinking I was picking up crap in the tank(even though code 21 is ignition....I dont know what else to do at this point,other than swap the coil,and other stuff one by one off my good running nx and hope to get lucky![rolleyes](images/emoji/upset/eye_roll.gif)
