Hi everyone, some of you may have read my previous posts, but I am fairly new to the world of Nissan and need some help on the ka motor.

I just recently purchased my 240, and have finished all the work that it needed…

1. new rad support (welded one in)
2. gas tank
3. front stabilizer bar and brackets
4. front struts
5. injectors
6. a damn good coat of underbody protection
7. new radiator

Before I started my work, the car ran fine, no problems

I just finished doing all the work it needed done this weekend and left it run (but stupid me) let it run out of gas.

I filled the tank again (from gas cans), and cant get the damn thing to start. I checked for fuel and spark and its actually getting both.

I dont know what the problem could be?..maybe a sensor?

I have no clue how these engines work or what goes wrong with them as I have always worked on Honda’s. What do you guys suggest? I did run the ecu in diagnostic mode and got the following:

2 long blinks  
3 short blinks  
4 short blinks  
4 short blinks

then one long blink (i’m guessing this is to tell you its gonna restart the code)

then it ran the above again…

Anyone knows what it means? I have no repair manual and could use the help

Thanks!!

23 - Idle switch (throttle valve switch) signal circuit open

44 - No trouble codes stored in ECU

These are the codes you describe. I would double-check. Here are the rest:

# ================ 11 - Camshaft position sensor 12 - Mass Air Flow Meter Sensor 13 - Coolant Temperature sensor circuit 14 - Vehicle Speed Sensor signal circuit is open 15 - Mixture ratio is too lean despite feedback control; fuel injector clogged 21 - Ignition signal in the primary circuit is not being entered to the ECU during cranking or tuning 22 - Idle speed control valve or circuit 23 - Idle switch (throttle valve switch) signal circuit open 24 - Park/Neutral switch malfunctioning 25 - Idle Air Control Valve 28 - Cooling fan 29 - Fuel system rich 31 - ECU internal problem 32 - EGR malfunction (California models) 33 - Front O2 sensor 34 - Detonation (Knock) Sensor 35 - Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor (California models) 36 - EGRC-BPT valve 37 - Closed Loop 41 - Intake Air temperature sensor 43 - Throttle Position Sensor 44 - No trouble codes stored in ECU 45 - Injector fuel leak (California models only) 51 - Fuel injector circuit open (California models only) 53 - Oxygen sensor (300ZX right side) 54 - Short between automatic transmission control unit (TCU) and ECU 55 - Normal engne management system operation is indicated – this means all is OK. 65 - Misfire detected - cylinder no. 4 66 - Misfire detected - cylinder no. 3 67 - Misfire detected - cylinder no. 2 68 - Misfire detected - cylinder no. 1 71 - Misfire Detected - Random 72 - Catalytic Converter Malfunction 74 - EVAP pressure sensor 75 - EVAP leak 76 - Fuel injection system 77 - Rear O2 sensor 81 - Vacuum cut bypass valve 82 - Crankshaft Position Sensor 84 - Automatic Tranny-to-Fuel Injection Communication Line 85 - VTC solenoid 87 - EVAP canister purge control 91 - Front oxygen sensor 95 - Crank Cog 98 - Coolant temperature sensor 103 - Park/neutral switch 105 - EGR and canister control valve (Solenoid) 108 - EVAP volume control 111 - Inhibitor Switch 112 - Vehicle Speed Sensor A/T 113 - A/T 1st Signal 114 - A/T 2nd Signal 115 - A/T 3rd Signal 116 - A/T 4th Signal or TCC 118 - Shift Solenoid/V A 121 - Shift Solenoid/V B 123 - Overrun Clutch S/V 124 - TOR Converter Clutch SV 125 - Line Pressure S/V 126 - Throttle Position Sensor A/T 127 - Engine Speed Signal 128 - Fluid Temp Sensor (From a GUIDE I found)

Good luck.
