Fuel injectors are leaking gas from the injector seals. My brother owns a geo prizm with a toyota motor in it with almost 300,000 miles on it and has never had this problem ever. My nissan stanza only has 133,000 on it and I have seen complaints on web forums about 240sx with same ka24e sohc motor having the same problems with less mileage on them. They switched to the ka24de dohc engine in later year stanza's. I think they also did so on the 240sx too, but not sure which years this happened. I know the stanza used ka24e motor from 1990 to 1992 production years and then switched to the ka24de after which could possibly have different injector setup then the ka24e which is what I have.
