I am in a desperate situation, i only have one car to get to and from school...and when i noticed i had a leak in the fuel line i decided to go ahead and replace them. Now my car wont start, i have a strong battery, when i turn the key i can hear it turning but it wont crank over. i replaced the sparkplugs and wires about a month ago so i dont think its them...when i replaced the fuel line i didnt put it on tight enough so i lost a lot (3/4) of what i had in the tank.... thats all i did, and now im in a bind....if anyone could help me i would be forever grateful because i can only bum a ride for so long before they get tired of me. please reply asap

Your question: 1984 Nissan 300ZX wont start

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
