i just bought a 83 zxt to swap into my 240z, but i want to get it running good before i do the swap. I just bought the car, so i don't know much about the past work done on it and problems with the car. The owner actually said the car ran perfectly fine one week ago, and only started doing this after a potential buyer went to look at the car while he was gone and was able to pop the hood and look around since the car wasn't locked. The car starts and runs smooth and good at idle, but when the car is cold, it'll backfire sputter when revved. before it warms up, the rpms won't go past 1500rpm or so without heavy backfire and misfire. if i let the car idle for 10 mins and le…

I have completed my restoration of my 2/71 240Z. The car was totally disassembled and now has been reassembled. I have connected the battery cables and have the following problem: No ignition! I have lights and running lights, I have an amp gauge that works and a lighter. But, no power to the starter or the ignition. My turn signals and radio also do not have power. What did I forget to "plug-in"? :paranoid:

Help, Just got a 80 280zx that runs great except Idle. It acts like it has a vacumn leak. Sometimes it backfires in intake and exhaust when cold and Hot. It also has no cold idle. It appears that #1 and#3 cylinder are not firing very good when shorted at idle. Compression is 160 all across and injecters show they are firing by the test light. Timing on and valve clearences. Above 2000 rpms runs okay but may lack a little power. I have done plugs wires and coil, pcv and replaced 1 injecter in #1 cylinder. All sending units appear to be working and exhaust stinks from being too lean I believe. Fuel presure okay. To start cold I have to hold gas down a little. I would apprec…
