I've had some really bad luck with vehicles recently, Corvette and Firebird
both ended badly.
Now I've gotten a 2004 Frontier 3.3 V6 that has been sitting.
Got it to run, but poorly.
Today I replaced the rubber intake manifold, it ran better, for a few seconds.
Added some fresh gas, verified that fuel is being sent to the fuel rail.
But it barely or won't start, has no ability to rev up.
I did clean the MAF.
It has been suggested that the fuel pressure regulator might be an issue,
how do I check it?
If the weather is warm enough I will do the usual checks on Saturday, fuel
filter, clean the the distributor cap, look for additional vacuum leaks.
For the moment, just Hi!

If you are going to try and fix/diagnose it yourself:
I would google SMJ999SMJ , He has helped a lot of
folk's and he used to work for Nissan as a Mastertech.
Especially with Older Nissan Truck's. He's on a lot of forum's
and He would be my 1st choice for getting someone to help me
online.
