I pulled coil on cyclinder 1 it was full of gas. There was a pool of gas sitting above spark plug. Clearly cyclinder 1 was the flooded cyclinder. I turn the crank by hand and it spins freely. Ill crank it tomorrow with new oil and plugs. I also swap out with a working iacv so the idle issue should be gone.

I did it just like fsm with the cams.

10 o'clock and 12 o'clock


Tony, I had no idea that you had a problem with the CPS. Why didn't you just say something? Not only do you have my email but you have my phone number. I had absolutely zero intentions of doing anyone wrong.

I just also want to mention, that you know I have multiple spare CPS units. All you would have had to do, Tony was call me and let me know you had a problem. I would have gladly taken care of you. At my expense because the part was bad.

I just really don't understand why you didn't just let me know you had a problem? Instead you make me out to be a bad guy and talk trash about me.

Again I apologize. Just a tip Tony, next time just communicate

I switch out iacv and car holds idle now. But cyclinder 1 gets flooded with gas inside spark plug hole. And gas comes out the exhaust. idk how so much gas gets inside the hole. Its a low idle and rough. Maybe a leaking injector or like James92SE mention cams might be off. But if its off why would only cyclinder 1 spark hole flood? Fsm didnt mention anything about the lobes of the cams it just said to install one cam at 10 oclock position and the another cam at 12 o'clock position. Im hoping it just a bad o ring.

There was a supplemental TSB that Nissan put out in 1993 specifically about VE cam timing/lobe orientation that meant to serve as a supplement to the FSM (which as you noticed doesn't show/mention the lobe orientation). Nissan must have issued it specifically because a bunch of techs screwed up timing chain replacements/VTC installs. Here is the TSB. Diagram 2 shows you the cam lobe orientation:

You said the FSM "didn't mention anything about the lobes of the cam", and then I showed you a TSB which showed the cam lobe positions and you come back and say it's already in the FSM

Do you have that electronic 1994 FSM? Maybe they added it to the FSM for the 1994 edition (mine is a 1992 version)

If its now running but just running a little rough it may just aswell be a leaky injector. Did you ohm test the injectors you got from the scrap car? Also did you take and install the injectors into your rail or did you just take the whole rail with the injectors and swap it?

I planning for sunday to install the entire fuel rail with injectors from the ve with 94,000 miles from junkyard hopefully there in working condition. On friday i took 5 minutes of my time to unplug cyclinder 1 injector harness which is reachable without taking upper intake manifold off. As i crank the car a couple of times and check to see if gas was leaking thur, i crank maybe 20x without starting it. But this time there was no gas leaking, which tells me that the problem has to do with only cyclinder 1 injector. Has to be a leaking injector or stuck open injector.

So you still havent swapped the 370cc injectors back to stock? I thought in your previous post when DanNY asked if you had 370cc or stock you replied stock injectors? but you just mentioned you havent yet swapped the rail out with the one from the scrap car with stock injectors

Rather than swapping to your original ones which have been sitting out of the engine for some time it probably would have been simpler just to swap complete rails. Hopefully the injectors are good from the scrap car and your problems smooth out.

I swap out the 94,000 mile ve fuel rail and injectors. No more gas leaks but it cranks and start but dies immediately. I notice the iacv gasket has a piece that fell off, i plan on replacing that. When engine starts i plug fuse back in and quickly start tapping on gas pedal and rev it up. It stays on as long as i keep tapping gas pedal. As soon as let it go or drop idle low enough it will turn off. I crank it again and it will not turn on. So i unplug fuel pump fuse and crank engine so it clear the gas pressure. I plug fuse back in and crank it up. Engines starts up fine. So im thinking either brand new fuel pump is bad or gas filter clogged. Maybe relay is bad. Ill check gas pressure but i check it before when engine didnt start before timing chain job and i had good psi. But i couldnt check pressure with engine on

Car starts up perfect at first crank of the day when cold. But when engine temp goes up it dies.

Im planning on reinstall the original coolant sensor tomorrow. It has a new sensor from advance auto store.

Problem solve car holds idle when warm. It was a vacuum leak that was a small one on the iacv gasket. As soon as iacv switches to off when car hets warm up. The leak would increase. I made another custom gasket marker and it held idle this time. I drove it around the block. It ran like **** because its not on 15* degree timing and tps is off tune and idle is low at 600 rpm. After test drive i notice my radiator was leaking. 2 minutes later raditor pop on the bottom corner. Smh

Im glad it runs, so happy i did the timing job right. And super lucky to have you guys help. Thanks everyone. Now its time to buy a timing gun and radiator. Adjust tps and i should be ready to schedule a tune with my nistune.

P.s iacv gasket is
