Thread: Car wont start, but runs healthy (kinda rich tho..) 240sx s13 89 redtop

I have 255 walbro
hks BOV (unsure which)
everything else is stock even the exhaust (is that cooo?), the previous owner got it running at 12 psi but the engine should handle 12-13 psi while stock so im not too worried about that but it runs really rich, that is, when i can get it to run...

The starter seems to be plugged in all the way
i think it might just be the battery.. Which should i get? i hear the garden one from walmart works for roughly 2 years and is the cheapest but a miata one works fine too..

I dont have an Air to Fuel ratio gauge soo i might need a hook up (dont know where to look)

THanks,

I am assuming it will not crank? Is the battery completely dead or do you have power to the accessories? Dont be cheap with a battery, spend the money and get a decent one.

How do you know i'ts rich without an a/f gauge??

The sense of smell (unless you have raw fuel dumping out the exhaust) can be deceiving..........

once you get it running right you should look into getting a fuel pressure regulator to adjust pressure for the 255.

yeah it smells horrible and smoke comes out the exhaust sometimes

Stock ECU?

You should probably get a A/F gauge stat!
