86 300 firing issue

Asked by I_MIARTISTMUSIC Jul 29, 2019 at 12:27 AM about the 1986 Nissan 300ZX Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had the water pump go out a couple years ago.
Was in a tough spot and had very little mechanic
experience. However learned alot since then. To
the issue though. I've got the timing belt replaced,
new water pump, new battery and post connectors.
Also cap rotor and plugs, wires, and fuel filter.
When cranked over you get a fraction of a stutter
once after that it cranks over virtually silent
besides the starter sound and the belts turning.
Does anyone have any clue what the issue is and
or could be. Had a mechanic friend help look over
it and double check the timing and even he is
awfully stumped.
