Default Clogged fuel injectors?

Car seems to struggle to rev up from a dead stop, after it goes its perfectly fine.

Also noticed when sitting in my driveway, rev up high and let go, the muffler kinda spurts out, like a "Bluph-blup blupp" sound.


I'm guessing its a fuel injector problem but any other ideas help.

I also bought a K&n air filter today and replaced the dirt-encrusted old cheapo one. I swear my car must have not been getting air or something; i dropped the old filter on the floor, picked it up and junk just puffed and dropped out of it.

Anyways i filled up the tank just day before yesterday so i've still got most the tank left.... any way besides putting my mouth on the end of a hose and siphoning the gas out so i can put some damn cleaner in it? I really don't like my car feeling like shit.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

fuel injector issues are fairly common, but clogging is hardly ever an issue. Check for vacuum leaks.

check your timing loosen the two bolts on your dizzy and try twisting the dizzy to the right a bit then rev and see if it runs any better dont advance it too much or u could get detonation problems or over heating or sumthing jus try and see if it makes it better by advancing the timing a bit...

Ok well it wasnt ANY of the problems or fixes listed above.

My car died... tranny is blown or something, bitch went crazy on ehrlich, shifted gears like a billion times or something.
Burned out, no power, had to pull over.

engine smells like burning plastic or something and smelled like a fireball shot out of my muffler.


God hates me

I had the same problem w/ my s14 hard to rev and had a exhaust sputter. driving away from ybor and motor over heated and self detonated. Melted cyl 2 and 4 smelt like shit and the worst burned oil smell ever. i had 5 degress over stock to fix my original rev problem. I guess i shouldn't of done it

turns out it was a melted/completely fucked up coil pack.

At the mech's now to get it replaced and do a full system tune up.

I have no problem fixing small things myself but when i barely know what a coil pack is (at the time), i'm not going to go around trying to fix it myself. That and i NEED the car by monday.

Anyways looks like I'm not getting a Z32 after all... maybe never. really sucks too, i was really counting on getting one near june/july. Instead i'm saving up for a nearly brand new car. (04-06) And i might have to bid Nissan farewell.... Looks like i'm going to transgress to the dark side....to a Honda EX V6 Accord (manual tranny of course ).... Anyways, thanks for the suggestions guys, i appreciate the help you guys tried to give
