I have a 1977 Datsun 280z, since i bought the car it ran good but once in a while it runs rich and starts to flood out. When i give it gas it starts to sputter.I been trying to find this problem for a while now and i cant figure it out. People tell me its the water temp. sensor, i changed it and it still does it. It seems like the problem will go away for like a week but then it comes back, I'm thinking it could be a relay, but i don't know what it is, Can someone please help me! Thank You.

ok so I read through a few threads, the manual, and the efi-bible and I think I have an idea of what is going on but im not for sure. The problem is just as stated in the title the car will start but the idle is weak and it dies almost instantly, if I give it some gas I can keep it alive but it's really rough and I get some whiteish smoke out of the tail. I have a l28e from a 83zx' and I think there maybe be some gaps forming in the rubber elbow due to it being old and the weather I had an idle issue before from this but was able to seal the cracks with sealent. also I have a cone filter and I know it needs to be replaced cause it's kinda dirty but would that cause the ca…

Hey guys im new to the Z Team. I inherited a 76 280z from my fatherinlaw. It was sitting for probably 6 years. I got it to run and drives like a dream. I always wanted a Z and what better than a classic. I have only one problem that is driving me nuts....http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/images/smilies/msn-style/angry_smile.gif The dash lights don't work. The back up lights don't work. The turn signals don't work. The glove box light don't work. The headlights do work thou. The hazards also work. I checked the bulbs and they all are fine. Hope you guys can help me. Thanks

OK, now as many of you know I just did a motor swap in my 72 240Z. After getting the motor in and everything hooked up I have a small headache :stupid: I am not getting any power on the coil with the key on. Plus nothing on the starter trigger wire with the key in the start pos. I can hear the sol. box click in the pass side footwell but thats as far as it gose. Yes, everything in the fuse box is fine with no wire damage that I can find. Yes everything that should power up with the key on dose. It's just coil power and starter trigger power thats missing. Where should I start ? Also, I would love ta hear this motor run today!!! Where can I jump power to for a temp…

Ok, I have been working on my 72 240Z fuel system today. As most of you know I just did a motor swap. With that the fuel line had been left unhooked for a few days. Well I got it all hooked back up today and notice that there are air bubbles along with fuel thats going into the fuel filter. Now its pulling fuel from the tank and keeps the filter full without any fuel leaking back. But it seems that no matter how long I turn the motor over I still get air bubbles from the tank. Is this a normal thing? If not where should I start looking? No I have not run the motor yet nor have I even tried. I am just taking my time and looking to make sure everything is good before I ru…

Here is the problem, I sent my early 260z with SUs to tidewater Z to be fixed. I thought it was the fuel pump. I picked it up today he said it was not the fuel pump, but a miswiring under the dash. Well I started her up her idled just fine. I got about a block away and it started sputtering like it was not getting gas. So I pulled over to a parking lot near by and took my other car with my mother and got some gas. Came back put 2 gallons in. To my misfortune the little white pour tube that screws on the gas can fell into my gas pipe. I'm not sure if there is some sort of block before the tank, but I think it got into my tank. I hope not. Anyway, I started it up just fine…

A quick summary: This Winter, I installed a 4.11 R180, a 280 ZX 5 speed, new rear KYB's, new urethane bushing kit and refurbished (cleaned, painted) my rear control arms. The diff. was nice and tight when I installed it, no play. The u-joints are all original, but none of them had any slop at all. The driveshaft u-joints had no slop either. Everything from the tranny back came out of the car during the process, except the fuel tank. I didn't have any rear end noise with the original set-up. I know that I need to go back and re-torque the rear suspension bolts, because I had the car up in the air when I torqued them, and I now know that's no good. But I figured it …

I have a 1977 280z 2+2 California model. I've noticed (having purchased it fairly recently) that the fuel gauge works on starting, then I hear a slight click, as from a relay, and the fuel gauge drops to nothing. The gauge reads evidently accurately until this occurs. Any suggestions on this? I've tracked the wiring down, and it appears to be intact on this circuit. I'm going to be repairing the old fuse box (due to a previous owner job cutting the wires and replacing it, but using the wrong gauge of wire, and using wire crimps rather than solder). Major project on this one, but I'm loving it. New injector connectors going in there this week, new clutch, replaci…

My 1978 280z starts fine, idles and runs well when it's cold, but after a few miles the idle becomes rough and she starts to hesitate below 2k rpm. I looked around and found other threads where people had the same problem as me and there were a few suggestions ,but the original poster never posted back to say if they fixed the problem or not. Can someone please help my baby? Here's some pictures of her.
