installed new distibutor and new starter in the 200sx i have for sale......
it quite flashing the crank angle sensor code and suddenly was powerful again.
then this morning blazing to work uphill through the 25 mph corners starts to run bad so i stop and zowwweee exhaust manifold is lit up like a road flare!!
let it cool and it fired right back up so took it down the hill home to leave it and take honda to work and it goes clunk screech bang pop and oil pressure drops to zero. so i towed it with the girlfriends suburban.
i fear the worst god what a terrible sound that was! icon_eek.gif

Damn man sorry to hear that. icon_sad.gif Do you have any idea as to what happened to it? did you turn it off as soon as you noticed the oil pressure? Good luck with it. Sucks when life gives you a nuts.gif right after you get somthing done.
