RBs, LSs, JZs, about anything really, just need to customize.

You'll have to get a book or the wiring diagrams and trace the power source for each circuit.Most of the items you mentioned are controlled by the key switch, so I would start there.

check the fuses under the hood I seen this exact same thing happen to a friends 95 Honda prelude and it blew a fuse hope this helps

I have a good idea that you should replace the ignition switch.

bad maf? happens once in a while especially with this 15 year old car. buy some maf cleaner for ^ bucks and spray the maf off the car. dont use anything to dry it just the spray. do what the previous poster suggested and id change the o@ sensor since its obviously a bad fuel to air ratio.

I had a very similar problem to the one you're having in my 90 single cam. Seems to be kinda notorious with 240sx. Step one buy yourself some maf cleaner. Has to be maff cleaner not carb cleaner. Disconnect battery. Unplug maf sensor and take out maf using a screw driver and/ or a 10mm wrench. Place maf on towel and spray liberally about 6 inches away. Don't use anything to clkean it just use the spray. Let it dry and plug everything back in. Step 2. buy some carb/ throttle body cleaner. Remove hose between tb and plastic intake hose and spray tb cleaner in tb. Rag off whatever dirt you can get. Now turn on car and with sonmone reving var to 2k spray 2 second bursts of tb cleaner into tb cleaner following label instructions. Continue doing untill you see no more dirt. Turn off car. Step 3. Remove aicv. (Air idle control valve. This is attached to tb by 4 10mm bolts. Be easy with these as not to break them in the tb. Once aicv is removed place on rag and using carb and tb cleaner spray liberally. Make sure you get all nooks and crannies. Let dry for 20 mins and replace. Lastly replace engine coolant temp sensor. Its 12 bucks at autozone and take 1 your on your dual cam. There are many write ups on zilvia and 240sx forums for this. Lastly set idle to 700 rpm by disonnecting trottle sensor and adjusting the screw on the aicv to 700. And then plugging the trottle sensor back in. This shgould fixc your idle problems and stalling proiblems. If not email me at [email protected]. I'll give you more suggestions. Let me know if this works

Sorry but Nissan diagrams available to up only go back to 2008 models. Try eBay for used owners manual

serch no more this is deffinightly a bad earth or the starter is stuck 100 %

Depends if they havent already been changed and if that a manufacturer still produces a cartridge. Honestly its better to replace the entire strut itself and the mounting kit with the rubber boot. Get urself a pair of KYB Gr-2 good strut for the price.

It's obviously beyond your expertise to repair it yourself. And it's not the sort of problem that can be diagnosed over the internet.Find a trustworthy repair shop and take it there.
