    This morning this peice wouldnt run correctly. It ran fine last night. It will start up and run REALLY bad and idle at 500rpms then if you give it gas it will die. WTF? When i turn off the key it says low coolant and oil sensor level, but i added some water and added some oil(which was fine already)

    Ah, I see how this works. I must use ESP to determine what car you have. *Concentrating...* *Concentrating...* Ah HAH! It's a 1978 Datsun B210!

    Therefore, I suspect a carburetor problem.

    Dude.........My cousin had one of those. That thing was sweet. It was pretty quick, and it took turns like it was on rails. Had alot of carburator probs though.

    Bogus warnings and bad running may be from a failing battery and/or charging system. Check it first.

    yea, I know it has a brand new battery but i cant drive it anywhere to get the alternator checked. I would check the engine light codes, but im under the assumption that 88-89 dont have bulbs in there for it to light up. Which makes no sense. And should the light come on whiles its running like a normal car? When i put the key in the ignition i can see the light come on, but not while running.

    Which light? The Check Engine light or the charge failure light?
