Any idea what's wrong with my 200SX ?

Sometimes when I press the accelerator, the acceleration doesn't go up initially, then without moving my foot the revs go up significantly as normal.

 

What is this and what is the solution?

 

Thanks.

Its 1200cc and one turbo short perhaps, not to mention 8 valves and two cylinders, one intercooler etc etc!!

Never looked at one, but do they have a TPS like on 300's ?

The connector on the TPS usually comes loose, a good idea, is to go round the entire engine bay and remove all the electrical connectors (one by one biggrin.gif) and clean them with some connector cleaner.

This worked a treat on my car, not a zx and I think that worked on SRRAE's car too.

Another thing is to clean the throttle butterflies and clean em up.

Also on thing to get checked would be the Lambda Sensor possibly, this can throw errors up like that.

Clean the butterflys and all the electrical connectors first as this is easy to do.

There is a how to on the butterflys but is a piece of piss, take off the big hoses on the inlet plenum and you'll see the valves, clean off any black gunk with carb cleaner, a toothbruth and wipe clean with a rag! easy peasy. You may have *a little* trouble starting the car afterwards but it will start! just keep turning it!

Someone else will no doubt go into more detail though.

Mate you'd be better off registering here... http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/index.php and asking 200sx Quessies.

What 200 do you have a S14(a) or a proper one? (S13) smile.gif

 

Cheeky bugger Gio. smile.gif

Oh don't forget the extra 400Kg they don't have to lug around too, not to mention the fractional fixing and modifying costs. wink.gif

 

But yeah I'd agree with the TPS thing, also what's the idle like, other than the lack of responce to the trottle do you have any problems.

 

here is a pretty useful document on stuff to check if it's an S13.

Goto... http://bagpuss.swan.ac.uk/200sx/s13manual

 

in here there is the ful S13 manual, and also a thing called injection_manual the name is a bit misleading but tells you how to set up the AAC valve, TPS and how to check loads of other stuff.

 

Cheers,

Jezz.

Sorry m8ey - what sort of sense of humour do you expect from someone who owned 3 MG Maestros. biggrin.gif

 

200s are nice cars - I remember how made up a mate of mine was when he managed to scrape together enough as an underpaid graphics artist at Amstrad to afford one. Silver, I think. Then he wrapped it around something so bad he bent the chassis. Ouch. frown.gif

have you got any pics of you zed?

and where are you from?

(not being funny at all just interested)

 

yeah everyone should grow up and stop asking shit questions ect.

the 200sx board is really very good.

I don't have any pics and not worked out how to use my scanner yet !. It's a 1992 white leather TT with no mods but not restricted to 155mph (according to seller). It's done ~80k miles. I plan to get a smart exhaust, upgrade the ECU, air filter, bodykit, spoiler, stereo, etc. !!

 

I live on the North Wales border, near Chester, I work near Ellesmere Port for Shell in Engine Lubricants, so I know the importance of oil changes.

 

I asked about my 200Sx here because I thought it was probably a common (not worth going to an SX site for), simple problem someone cud easily diagnose 4 me. I have little/no mechanical/engine experience - just a basic understanding of how they work. I would like to work on my engines (partly to cut down garage bills), but I have no experience.I had the butterfly's ? cleaned out on my 300 cos it was occasionally stalling on idle while cold. 200SX sometimes does the same. The engine sounds OK, but idle is a bit low -hence stalls if stopped in drive sometimes.

Why wud I lie ?!

Well i tell birds that i have a 12 inch dick (when really it only 10)!!!!!

 

Bit like saying youve got a 300 when really youve only got a 200!!!

 

post some pics and i'll appologise!

 

no im not gonna post any pics of my dick!

So which one of u is Beavis and which one is Butthead ?!!

Which one of you is Beavis and which one is Butthead ?!!

Nelson,

 

Tell you what you can do if you want to 'reduce mass'

 

Heres an idea for you,

 

Take the engine from your 200sx and put it in yor imaginary 300zx, thus saving you all that extra engine weight!!!WIN WIN WIN

 

Then take your imaginary 300zx engine and put it in your 200sx, thus curing your running problems!!! WIN WIN WIN

 

Or you could just stop dreaming and go back to your 200sx forum!!! You PRAT PRAT PRAT!!!!

LMAO how sad are you?

You ask probably the worst questions on this forum or any other ive ever seen, and then read max power magazine which makes you tough,then look at a picture of this so called 300zx you own and then ask some more muppet questions and then wonder why people respond to you in this way. Every thread you have started has ended up in a big balls up. Your a little morphie wind up merchant.

 

Oh and yes well all be at Billing this year.

All the info is in the events forum.

See you there.

LOL!!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

 

What kinda twat starts throwing threats around? Especially when he doens't have a clue what or who he's dealing with.

 

I don't know B19rks, but I do know 300z and I'd say no fucking chance. LOL biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
