I bought a truck last week, and need some help/information. Spent a lot of time searching the web, and reading the manual (basically useless). The problem is the Z24 engine. It's a 4 cylinder, but has 8 spark plugs, two coils. The manual barely mentions it, general not in the sections I need. Never had an engine with two plugs per cylinder, and want to know what I'm getting into, before getting into the tune-up.
It idled a little rough when I bought it, but a look under the hood told me it hadn't been serviced in a while. A new fuel filter smoothed it out considerably, least enough that I can put off the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Hoping to find a diagram of how the wires are routed first, just in case... Also kind of want to make sure they are right, who knows what previous owners did to this thing.
Bought a PCV valve, but can't find it on the engine from the top. Going to change the oil, so maybe I'll spot it from underneath.
Have an electrical problem with the running lights, there weren't any. No dash lights, taillights, nothing. With the headlights on, still no dash or running lights. After checking the fuses (some missing, but labeled for optional stuff), didn't find anything blown. My dog (2 year old Lab) decide we were going for a ride, and squeezed past me under the steering wheel. Check the lights again, and they work. Not sure if it was a loose fuse, or a bad wire the dog rubbed up against just right. Got to find out for sure before driving at night. Faulty equipment tickets aren't expensive, just a pain in the ass to take care of.
If anyone has owned one of these, or know a good Nissan website, it would be much appreciated.
