Default 90 240sx Ka24e starting problem

Hey All,
My 240sx will start fine when its been sitting for a little while, but if you start it, then shut it off, it has a hard time starting, you have to tap the gas pedal excessivly for it to catch up with itself....any ideas? When it startd up, it runs fine.

this screams of leaking fuel injectors, a very common problem with single cams.

+1 on the injectors. Check the fuel pressure, lines and voltage at the pump while you're at it.

Check the o-rings, the injector hat. You can also take them out and take them to a shop that will duty-cycle test them for you. Odds are, they're shot (stuck open) and will need replacement.

Could get expensive if you go new. I'd probably look into a motor-swap to be honest.

KA24de (DOHC) is a nice upgrade from the SOHC motor.
