The same thing is going on with my car after a engine replace ment from a auto 88 maxima.
The car its in is a 5 speed 87 maxima.
I have no clue whats going on...
Went to 300zx ecu and maf , To see if it was bad maf or ecu ( 300zx is an upgrade... ) but still no fix...
Checked the injectors allll pulsing fine!
I dont know about the timming... The engine has 150 k on it and the car the came out of i dont know when it has ben changed BUT when it was in the other car it ran fine when you would press the gas all the way down you would get pushed back in the seat...
Now when its in the car , You cant even take off with out it hardly stalling...
You have to rev it up like to 3 k in first gear to take off....
And once you'res in 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th there is no power what so ever!!!
Slower then my girlfriends 4 cyl hyundai...
This is what happens when im driving.
Ill be in 3rd .. at like 3 k rpms.... And ill have the gas pushed down half way .... It will be comming along slow...hardly ... Its like im not pushing the gas but just a little bit , But when i push the gas all the way down .. the car will not gain any more momentum then it how much its was gaining at 1/2 throttle... But you can hear the engine sounding like its reving higher .. But its not ... And the rev meter wont be going up any...
Maybe the people i took the car to when i couldent get it started ( Turned out to be a grounding problem ) Changed the distributor , Maybe the dident adjust it right ?
i dont have my fsm on me , How do i go about doing this?
marks on the crank pulley line up with the line on the timing indicator mounted to the lower timing belt cover. Pulley marks read from left to right...(0,5,10,15,20,25,30 degrees)
Your 88 should be either 10 or 15 degrees(look at label under hood)
When the engine temperature is normal(warm), and the engine idling, use a timing light clipped onto spark plug #1 and shoot the timing tab to see what mark on the crank pulley is lining up to the timing tab in order to understand the current base timing.
Loosen the distributor hold down bolt and turn the distributor slowly to advance or retard the timing to the appropiate setting.
