Default Car starts, runs, stalls, and then doesn't start.

I just got my 240sx running again today for the first time in like 4 months (I've been away at college).

Now, it starts and runs but then after a bit it stalls. Then, I can crank and crank but it won't start again untill I wait a while and let it sit.

I can smell gas and I'm sure after cranking for a while I'm flooding it, but that doesn't explain the stalling or the beginning not starting.

Timing is good, and I have spark all the way at the plug at least on the first cylinder.

What could cause my intermittent starting?

Oh, and I have it hooked up to a battery charger, so electricity isn't the issue.




by the way, did anyone ever notice civic is spelled the same forwards and backwards?

It sounds like its flooding out, im havin the same problems with my turbo zc it will start, run for a few then stall and i have to diconnect the resistor box, then start it again, and it will run for a sec or two then die and reconnect the resistor box, then it starts then stalls out again, but my problem is im dump too much fuel i have to lean it out a bit. You might be havin the same problem, you might have to lean out your fuel

.. you'd think. It's at the same settings it was at before it was broken though which is weird.
