mik300zx

The engine was out as it got a complete gasket kit. I have been told by that it was only running on 4 cylinders at one stage and making a lot of strange rattling noises. I'm extremelly worried that this my engine may be wrecked. I really appreciate all of the advice so far but what could be the reason for the engine flooding and not starting?

Advice please - I left my 91 300zx tt in to get seal changed in the engine as it was leaking oil. That was 3 months ago. Whilst its been in the garage i've been informed that it was in saftey mode and that the knock sensor needed replaced along with the oxygen sensors as they were broken. The garage is having problems getting one of the oxygen sensors although all of the other work has been completed. I'm being informed by the mechanic that the car isn't running and that the engine floods everytime he starts it. All of this is being blamed on the oxygen senor is this even possible? :(

Sounds quite likely as the power steering pump is directly above the alternator. What generally causes them to leak? and is it a big job to fix? anyone any ideas on a garage in northern ireland?

Hi, Seems like nothing but problems with my 300zx. I thought the alternator had gone as the battery kept dying but then I found that the econ fuse had blown. Replaced the fuse and charged the battery but it died again about a week later. Bettery warning light kept coming on intermittantly. I dropped it to an auto spark and the alternator is covered in oil. Any ideas where the oil is likely to be coming from? Any one know a good mechanic in Northern Ireland that I can trust with this car? Any help would be much appreciated.
