I have a 1983 280zx non turbo. It has an in line fuel pump. Two days ago, I started the car, and it went out (the fuel pump). As I was driving down the road, the car started sputtering, and it would die if I gave it gas. Eventually it stopped running. When I would try to start it, there was no noise coming from the fuel pump, and the car would idle really low (4 or 500 rpm) for a few seconds, then die. I replaced the fuel pump. I can hear the fuel pump now, and when I started the car it ran great for a few minutes, then I turned it off. I replaced the fuel filter, and I started the car again. First it started idleing low again, and now it wont start at all. What should I …

I have a 1973 240Z and the #2 cylinder is not firing. I have checked the spark plug and the spark plug wire and they seem to be okay. I am concerned that I may not be getting enough spark. What should I try next? Thanks, KayceeZ

I know that I keep on posting these things but im totally stressed out over this whole heater deal. I got the car a week ago and its already under the weather. So my question is do i need the vacume heater control valve or can i just put a manuel valve on that opens and closes with the cable? Or should I just fork out the 120 bucks and buy a new vaccum control valve. Wel let me know what you guys think???

Well after cleaning the fuel pipes/lines out, replacing the spark plugs, and replacing the fuel filter my car died on me on my way home from school. I was in 3rd gear then all of a sudden it started bucking like crazy and then It wouldn't let me shift the gears. When I coasted for a little I was able to shift but the idle was horrible so I went to 1st gear and it chugged at 1K rpm which I kept it at until it died on the side of the road. (the car is F/I 83zx l28e) I waited a few minutes and tried to start it but i was only able to keep it rolling in first gear as it sputtered dead. I didn't see any crazy smoke while this was happening either it was just all of a sudden. A…

Hi; I have a little problem with my 1978 280-Z. I won't say that my tach won't work because it dosen't matter if it's running or shut off it reads 3000 RPM and that's where it stays. I think I have checked out the wiring and can't find anything visable wrong. Could this be terminal for the tach or does some one have a fix. The car only has just over 39000 kilometres on it (24000miles). Mel

Hi, Can someone tell me how to wire the Water Temperature Switch for my car. I have a 1975 280Z. It is a California model,, not sure if that is important. The wires for the Water Temperature Switch was broken and I am not sure how the original connection was. I believe there are two wires coming out of the Water Temperature Switch.. Black and Red. The black would be grounded?? and the red wire??? I look forward to your feedback. Thanks.

I have replaced all of the gas tank vent hoses (all 5 for a CA car!!!). I'm trying to get the evap tank back in the well. Do the large vent hoses go behind or in front of the filler neck? I'm fighting it big-time Can I eliminate the evap tank on a CA car? The gas tank has 4 hoses coming from it.
