95 240sx problems

StangAddiction · December 19th, 2008, 09:55 PM

I've got a couple issues with my 240sx and im kinda hoping someone can sort of guide me to some of the possibile solutions to these problems.

1.) The car drives fine, but when i go over 55-60 mph the front end starts to shake a lot and the steering wheel shakes. It scares me sometimes. So i avoid the highway. I have no idea what it is..

2.) When i go WOT the car pulls until about 4000 rpm, then it's like it pulls HELLA slow from 4000-6000 then when it shifts it starts to pull hard again for a second or two then it pulls hella slow again. The car pulls stronger from 2000-3500 in 3rd than it does from 4000-6000 in 2nd... Any ideas???

3.)The car doesnt always want to idle when i first start it. I have to give it a few light revs and then it idles fine.

I suspect the vibration is a wheel balance issue, be it a tire out balance or a wheel out of round. The rest sounds like a couple of different issues layered on top of each other. I would recommend a set of diag dice and some good luck.

Sounds like maybe a fuel/ignition issue. Give the car a tune up. change the plugs/wires oil change, fuel filter change etc..

diag dice?

Sr swap and or Rb swap

. shaking problem sounds like wheel out of balance.

about your idle issue, is there any signs of there being a weak electrical supply? dim headlights something like that? if not electrical, maybe give the MAF a look?
