    Man, and I thought I found a gem haha. This one looks even cleaner than mine, and free to boot. As for the the lifting, I have little experience in the area and am researching and scrambling to assemble a plan myself. Thinking about keeping the IFS though as I want to keep it streetable and cheap(ish). The Poor man's lift topic here is explained pretty thoroughly and seems straight forward enough for me.

    '92 Misfire/Skip issue

    Well the problem is gone now, the plug wire got pushed up into the boot too far causing it to seat wrong. The tech I had work on it is a Chevy guy but did it in his spare time. Only had to buy lunch and some beers for my stupid oversight. Thanks again for the help guys, really good group of people here.

    Haven't read the codes yet still however I did perform a fuel pressure test and check vacuum hoses. The vacuum hoses on the rig were all messed up, looks like a young kid got in and did work without knowing what they were doing. The fuel pressure regulator was not even hooked up along with the other vacuum hoses being routed wrong. I fixed all the vacuum issues and still the same problems. The pressure regulator and pump seem to be working as the pressure reads 36-39 psi and around 47-50 with the regulator unplugged.

     

     

    Hey DJ I think I've still got a functional ignition module I can send you, put it in little bubble mailer probably cost a buck to send to you, it could be that you have a failing module. PM me your addy or a post office box and I'll get it out to you no charge.

    Oh yeah, forgot I've got a coil too! It's yours, no worries, Just let me know.

     

    Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I want to diag it a little further before I throw parts at it. I will definitely be contacting you if I find out the coil is shot or ignition module. I have a cheap Harbor Freight meter so I'll bring it to a buddy with a Fluke for a better reading to see if it really falls out of spec. I'll also have my module tested as well to see if that could be the issue.

     

    Thanks again for the help guys, have a few more things to check now before I resort to a "professional" mechanic. Around here its hard to find a decent shop without a month waiting list.

    My 1992 SE started to skip and misfire while driving to work last Thursday. I shifted into neutral and gave it some throttle, seemed to smooth out and made it to work. After work it ran like normal, no skip no problems until Saturday morning on my way to work again. This happened in the past while I was using the vehicle as a lot truck/beater but it went away by itself. (This is what I call my hands off approach to vehicle repair) The misfire is throughout the RPM range and I can't pinpoint a cylinder after pulling plug wires one by one. I have put a new cap/rotor and plugs/wires on less than 5k miles ago. I am going to do a fuel pressure test to make sure it is being fed enough but for some reason I feel it is electrical. I tested the coil's primary and secondary resistances and the primary is only 0.72 ohms. The specs in the chiltons are between .80 and 1.00, does this sound like it could be the issue? The secondary resistance fell into specs. Any help would be appreciated, D

    Do I really need a new starter?

    I just went through this with my 1992 4x4 automatic in the past week. I got a starter for $90 through the local NAPA. It was a reman that came with a 3 year warranty as well. The price was alright but it took me about 2 hours to change the stupid thing after a lot of issues with space.

    I've downloaded my copy of the FSM now, as well as already having the Haynes and Chilton's manuals laying around from previous pickups. I've found the help on here to be much more useful than either of the generic manuals I have. O yeah and as for rust looks like I am safe for a while, the truck came from South Carolina with no salt, unlike here in NY where its only going to last two years max.

    I just recently bought a 1992 pathy three months ago that is bone stock except the BFG A/T tires. The price was low but the thing needs a new exhaust and a few other things like the timing belt (just to be safe) before I start to modify anything. I wrench on my own vehicles and work at a Chevy dealership, so I have a little experience but not in the line of Nissans. Hopefully I can be of some help, and I can already tell I'll find some things I can use as well.
