so i have a 1995 200sx that was flooded in hurricane wilma in key west 2005 i bought it a
year after for $1500 it had alot more problems when i bought it the sportlines used to
bottom out on the bridge expansion joints, it has a moderate amount of rust in the normal areas

and it averages 22 mpg i have changed both o2 sensors, headers(broke), no cat(fell off on
I95) custom rewelded o2 in pipe, all of the exaust is 2" except for the 3 feet after the cat
which is still original w/ resonator well at least till it falls off, tps 2 times, iacv 4
times, spark plugs(iridium 1 year ago), cap and rotor, mass air sensor(stranded me in the
middle of a 4 lane road), alternator(2 times in 6 months), fuel filter, injectors and fuel
rail, fuel pressure regulator(2 times stock), headlight housings i have hids,
when i shift the car back fires mostly in the lower gears shifting at any rpm's (i had a
b13 sentra before this car and i got 42 mpg with a ga16 same rims which are 17" and same
audio setup as now) so im figuring it runs rich based on most people with the sr20 get
better gas mileage than me, i replaced the fuel rail, fpr and the injectors about a month
ago no difference in the mpg but the inside of the intake manifold has a heavy carbon on it
im wondering if that would affect it

when i pulled the injectors out some of the plastic pieces that are on each one were broken
off i dont know what their purpose is and the o rings have rust on them so i replaced them
all with better ones i found in the junk yard

for a while i was smelling exhaust fumes when i turned the car off but i found that the
rubber hose on the egr was broken off i replaced that and i noticed a little difference like
2-3mpg
i did the throttle body heater delete it feels like it has more power not much difference in mpg
it accellerates alot faster in those cold mornings
when im on I95 for a while and then i get off and im sitting at a red light the rpm's stay
at 2000 -2200 sometimes I have to rev it to 5000 and it will drop back down to 800 but that
has been working less and less each time but when i turn the car off for like 30 seconds it
goes back to normal when i start it back up i thought it was the iacv getting stuck but i
keep replacing them and each one does something different
so today i was coming back from the junk yard and it started raining while i was at a red
light so i put up my windows and turned my a/c on and when i hit the button my rpms dipped
down to 200 then went slowly back up to 500 and stayed there so i tapped the gas it bogged
up to 1500 slowly then it went down to 200 again and back to 500 so i turned the a/c off and
it idled at 800 so im like wtf im not gonna use the a/c for a while
later on i was taking my friend home and i noticed my drivers side foglight was out so i got
it home and got out the multimeter and tried to figure out what it is( i think it is the
ballast again this is the second time one of them went out) while i was figuring that out i
noticed the fuse for the a/c compressor was all melted into the fuse box but the actual fuse
wasnt blown
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q235/mike22487/DSC01848-1.jpg
so i pry the old one out and scrape all the melted plastic off and put a new 7.5A fuse in
and turn the a/c on and it still does the 200- 500 thing (i can make a video if need be)
its weired ive never seen anything like it i tried to get it to stall but it wont well at a
traffic light at least
my oil pan gasket is leaking and im afraid to change it because the bolts are rusty and i
dont want to break any of them off but i have spares
i dont know what to do
im going to be driving to Ft. Pierce every day from west palm in a month for work at
Tropicana and i want to get this all fixed before that
if not i might go and get a new car i almost got a 2005 altima ser 2 weeks ago
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q235/mike22487/DSC01792.jpg

my g/f car
