So my car is a piece of shit as usual and won't start after it was just running
 

93 240sx ka24de-t.

I've been working on the car for a bit because i popped a headgasket... now, when I start the car it starts easy and runs good, but then when you turn it off it doesn't start a second time. I think it's flooding but I don't know how or why. any suggestions?

did you check for the 3 things needed for running engine? air fuel spark?

ya, it has all that.... it will run, then you turn it off and try to start it again 5 seconds later and it doesn't start... nothing changed in between the 2 starts.

swap ecu's.

Does it just turn over and not start. Throwing any codes? CAMS set right? Running any piggybacks or alternate ugraded ECU? When it runs is it rich, lean, knocking, need some stats.

Wonder if nismo's have a main relay setup like honda's :l Can you hear the fuel pump priming before you try starting it again?

doh, my ford used to do that. here the fuel pump relay had a missing case and would ground out thus cutting the power from the pump to the chassis and eventually melting it

LOL...reminds me of a story I heard once...
A man started a tranny shop in a small 2 bay garage and lived in a 70k bungalow in the city. 10 years later he had a 10 bay garage up to modern day specs and lived in a 400k house in the suburbs. When asked the secret to his success, he simply replied "Ford" :D

dont you mean dodge? they engineer the transmissions with undersized atf passages and maxed out torque-wise on the internals, so they fail at around 45k

Tell me about it...I replaced the tranny in my finace's old Plymouth acclaim 3 liter 3 times...after the 3rd I told her to just junk the car and I bought her an accord. :P
