Hi guys. , just stumbled upon this great site .i bought a 1989 Nissan s cargo van 
1.5l automatic,The other day , she's been great to drive but I've noticed after I drive it for a while she refuses to start back up! And if she does start she cuts out, The engine turns over fine etc but no joy, she done this today but started again but then cut out and won't start. I can smell fuel under the bonnet so there's definatly fuel getting to the engine, all I can think it could be is a choke issue ? 
I've only had it a few days so forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I'm trying to find a Haynes manual to help me 
Any help appreciated
Cheers

	Evening sticks, Sorry for the late reply. This sounds very much like my 86 Nissan Cherry, only my cherry has the E13 engine. Do you have any service history on the old girl? It may just be down to good old spark plugs, dizzy cap and rotor arm that needs changing. Let us know what you have and we will do out best to help out. All the best.
