Alright, here's a cold (27F) start video to show how awfully it runs until it's warm. For the first 2-3 minutes, it won't idle unless you keep messing with the throttle. The first crank up, it will only crank with your foot on the floor. http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...=MOV000020.flv Yea.....and here is after it's warmed up. When it's warm, it cranks perfectly. It will also rev up great. However, if you try and hold it steady at say, 2,000 rpm, it will stay there for a couple seconds, then die off until you play with the throttle again. You can see that in this vid. http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...=MOV000021.flv At the end of that video, you can see it runni…

my car runs really smooth, starts up fine... the electronic fuel injection 1976 automatic 3 speed version. but i took it for a drive after sitting for about 2 or 3 years, in a cool garage very good condition, ac still cold , 112k miles. i have dent in my gas tank, i have a new fuel pump, new fuel filters, newspark plugs, new fuel line hoses... seems like a fuel problem, but i suspect electrical, not sure how to check the fuse boxes regarding this problem.... or test the ecu or any other electrical things im supposed to look at to diagnose the issue. after driving 3 to 10 miles it will start to loose acceleration, and as i press the gas pedal down more to a certain idl…

Well, at least it runs now! http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...t=MOV00005.flv One thing I can't figure out though is the way it runs. It's idling really rough as you can tell in that video. That may just need some fine tuning though, as I haven't messed with the idle adjusting screws or even gotten my ignition timing in the ballpark yet. But ever once in a while, randomly, it will rev up to 4,000 rpm or so on its on for a second or two, then come back down to idle. It's crazy. Any ideas? It's definitely got a strong vaccum, even at idle. Maybe the vaccum opener control valve is spazzing out? I don't even know what that thing does. Haha

I am in desperate need of help. I am getting a pipe bet tomorrow and I want to make sure it has the proper clearences. I do not have a good sample to give them but I have a pipe from a 2+2 That apears to be the same but is too long and I think the one bend is too far front. Can anybody get me some basic measuremets from a stock exhaust or pictures would be great. I need between the muffler and the resonator. The bends going up and back to the muffler I am good with with. Its the next zig zag that I am not exactly sure where it goes. A picture of that and going to the resoator would be excellent. PLease Help racebird1@aol.com

Here's a head scratcher for you. I know it's a 300ZX, but I though I'd see if anyone has an idea. 1985 300ZXT 5-speed A sequence of events led to a timing belt break (head bolt broke and lodged under the cam) and susequent head removal (no damage) and a replacement of the head gasket, new timing belt and tensioner. I replaced the water pump and all 3 drive belts as well. Everything went well and the car started right up and runs fine. Now I've got a squeal that sounds like a bearing going/gone bad when it's cold. It lasts for about a minute and then goes away. I've re-checked all the belts I pulled the A/C belt (V-belt) to see if was the A/C idler pulley. Still squeal…

Hey guys, A little over a week ago I started up my Z for the first time in about 7 days. After driving for less than 10 min, I noticed that she was quickly overheating. So I pulled over and carefully popped my radiator cap. Whaddya know! I couldn't see any coolant. After waiting about 30 min, I started refilling w/water and found I was about a gallon low! So ever since then I have been refilling it before I take it out. How much goes in depends on how long it's been sitting, but it's a pretty good leak. I immediately located the leak, but with work and finals I haven't been able to address it yet. Early next week I'll have plenty of time, so I was hoping you guys could…
