Hi all I have a June 1973 240Z with an F54 L28 & Mikuni 44 PHH carbs. It's had an E12-80 electronic distributor & MSD Blaster2 coil for 4~5 years now & has always run like a champ. On Friday evening it randomly died on me at a stop light in town. Wouldn't start up again. I pushed it to the side. Made sure it had fuel + spark + E12-80 wiring was nice and tight. After an hour of fidgeting she fired up again but with some hesitation at low revs. I managed to struggle home and parked it out in front. I just spent all afternoon on it and it still won't start! _I had new-ish NGK BP6ES R plugs - but pulled those out and swapped in brand new ones gapped to 0.85mm _New…

I have a 78 280z and since I have started restoring it (in the process), rebuilt engine and all .... my tachometer has not worked. Actually I do not remember if it was working when I had parked it 10 years ago. Before I look for a new tach ... where does it connect too in the engine side? So that I can check all connectors to make sure they are not corroded. I did pull it out from the front dash to make sure all connections were good. The needle itself did not move as freely as the speedometer. Is it supposed to? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.:stupid:

It wasn't my fault - really. I've had a ton of obligations lately and the poor Z has been neglected. I've been fiddling with the choke a bit and had it running great, but now it won't idle without the choke, smells strongly of fuel, and sounds like it's missing. If I put my palm in front of the tail pipe, I hear a pop pop pop as the exhaust hits my hand. If I cover either airhorn the engine dies. There is a little vacuum port on top of the front carb (73 SU) that is sucking tons of air (way more than normal). If I cover it the engine dies. I'm thinking distributor...? Any clues? Thanks, Z

I have quite a fuel problem I can't figure out with my 78 280z Black Pearl. It is hesitating very much throughout accelleration, kind of stumbling!! Also when I hit the gas quick, it is backfiring through the AFM. I have replaced MANY parts from my other 280z which was running PERFECT. (I messed up the top end and that is why I am taking the parts off it) I have replaced and adjusted the following parts, AFM, TPS, Brain, Fuel rail, fuel filter, fuel pump,pressure reg, checked for intake leaks with wd-40 and replaced the air filter and carbon canister. I started to plug off misc emissions stuff that should not affect anything, ie air regulator and EGR. I was told tha…

My son's 73 240 has not had instrument lights in a while, he's too busy running the wheels off it to look, till last night, across town in a dark parking lot. That's the same day my 103 to 104 fever of 3 days broke on this lovely flu I've had a week. Really didn't want to go look and don't want him (or me) to waste money on a wrecker and I'm still sick, but better. Anyway,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, No drawing, no print and no energy. He layed on drivers floor, probably "giggling" wires under the dash till it won't start, STILL turns over but no voltage to the coil per someone with a meter. What's pulled loose? What color? Ideas? Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Mike
