funny running 88 path

[513yj]

well it started out as no spark, and i got the old sucker going with the power transistor.

so i changed cap, rotor, plugs, wires, coil, fuel filter, air filter. the next step is to change oil and filter. so whats happening is it fires right up and idles perfect, but it revs up slower than a snail till about 4 grand an then its pretty snappy to about 6500. sometimes when you give it the beans it will pop. i havn't checked the exhaust for squirrel homes yet, and it acts like a dead coil on a gm with a v-6 and 3 coil packs. i am not sure about these nissan things yet but i have been turning wrenches for over 15 years but only on american cars and jeeps. any pointers where to look since all i've done would have corrected the problem on a chevy but this is not one and has me wondering where to start. gonna scan the codes and check for plugged exhaust, clean maf sensor. anywhere else i should look?

Sounds like a timing problem. Is your MAF sensor still unplugged?

no i cleaned and put back in but the po must have monkeyd with the timing cause that is what i thought, and i loosend the dis and gave it a crank and whoa momma does she run now. -bounce- with 210,000 miles that sucka roasts the tires (best teenage impression ) i don't know how much longer it'll last but now that i got out my pent up aggression i'm changing rims and tires (and it's 95 degrees out with 100% humidity) cleaning the floor off and patch the holes spray bomb and run er.

LOL, it'll run a while as long as you get over that 'roasting the tires' phase... Glad you had an easy fix, now enjoy her...
