There is a meet going on in Long Beach with a great mix of cars and bikes. Few Datsun guys I know are going that I haven't seen in a while. Hope many more will join for a good night of food and show.

Ooooh thats risky business changing out the bolts for studs now. If you must, do it in the order the book puts it in and one by one. The removal order, not install by the way.

Well for now drive it like you stole it, hopefully the smell wears off. In other words I got nothing Edit: Did you flush just by draining the pan. If so you still have old fluid in the converter. To drain that just remove an oil cooler line and start the car until it drains all the fluid out then shut it off immediately. Don't worry your tranny won't sustain any damage.

Sorry I call the automatic gears clutches, got it from all the old grease monkeys here at work. How do you plan to flush the system, through the oil cooler lines?

That's weird, does it slip at all. Maybe that clutch is burning up, miles?

LOL no no my intension's aren't to spam up your forum, just working on something different.

You can still have error codes in the system with or without a live check engine light. You'll need to follow the TSRM for this car on testing the AFM and anything else that you think may be at fault. I'm trying to find an online TSRM, I'll edit this post in a moment I know I have it saved somewhere on this pc Ninja edit: Here ya go :) TSRM

Like previously stated by another member, locate the diagnostic plug which should be bolted to your fuse box on the driver side fender labeled "Diagnostics." Open it and short out TE1 and E1, you'll know when you've done it correctly when the check engine light begins flashing. I'll be somewhat perplexed with your issue if you find no codes, possible AFM going out, fuel pressure......

Hey guys just wanted to invite you all to a new diverse forum that just started up called www.SocalAutoHub.com. It's dedicated to all automotive rides, cars, bikes,boats lol doesn't matter as long as you like sharing your experience. Content is still low but so is the amount of members which is why I invite you Datsun enthusiast to share your rides with others that may be unfamiliar with them and hopefully make some new buddies outside this world. Hope to see some of you there showing off your Datsuns or anything else that sparks your interest. :) Check out the intro section. SAH intro

^^^ Do what he said and check your codes first. Your symptoms lead me to believe your timing is off, trying turning the motor setting the crank to zero and making sure the cam gears line up to the tick marks on the back plate. Good luck :)
