I Bought a new battery today cuz the new one I bought in Oct went bad. When I start it, it will turnover & the RPM will goto 1500 then the engine will just die/cutoff. It won't stay on. When I try to start it back up, it will just try to turnover but won't. I'll let it sit for about 5 mins, then it will repeat the same thing over & over again. My buddy said he thinks that the fuel inj's aren't firing. It will get that initial burst of fuel then but it will not stay on. Fuel is getting to the injector's. We're getting good sparks. One more thing, Which battery post should the wires that come out from the wall connect to? One of them is already grounded to…

So after the discussion we had here about swapping in an L28 LR160 alternator in order to do away with the 240Z voltage regulator I went to Zhome as instructed and followed the instructions word for word. THey are in short: Get LR160 (mine is off of an '81 280ZX) Get matching (longer) fan/alt belt Unplug v.regulator On the engine wire harness side of the v.regulator connector connect: _ the white wire to the yellow wire _ the black/white to the white/black _ and don't do anything with the remaining black wire. _ it didn't say anything about the condenser that was grounded with one of the v.reg mounting 10mm bolts so I left there - still grounded. reconnect the wires that …

I recently drove my newly purchased Z 1700 miles across country to get it home. About 3 hours from home I have a beearing sound coming from my engine. I bought a listening device and this is what I found. I seems like a bearing or rough noise from the positive displacement air pump equipped on some 240/260Z's. According to the net (my manual is in transit), this acts as a Anti Backfire valve, check valve, and an air pump relief valve. It is located on the drivers side opposite the Alternator. Before I start the process of replacement, I thought someone might have some information. 1. Will my engine have problems if I go to replace this part and do not have installed. …

Morning everybody, Have you noticed that if you don't know what something is called you are faced with leafing through hundreds of pages of service manual in hops of finding a drawing of the part you want to know more about.... I need some help as I'm unsure what these items are. I am looking to doing some cleanup in the engine bay and moving things around - thus the question.... the top is a vent which connects the block with ??? I don't think it's ever been correctly connected - I know i am getting fumes from it but otherwise is it hampering anything else?? the middle is on the firewall between what once was my heater hoses and the stock battery location. what's it…

I can't figure this out. Everytime I brake hard, then come to a stop, my RPM's drop to the point of almost stalling. Then, after a few seconds, the RPM's pick back up. Could this weight transfer affect the fuel to the carbs?? Maybe not enough fuel in the float chamber?? The harder I brake the worse it gets. Anyone have an answer???

My 1978 280Z is acting funny. It is reading that when the car is on the battery is charged to 16 volts. When I turn on the fan or a/c the volt meter pegs to the top. The instrumentation lights get brighter for a brief moment. Then my clock works, but then like 45 min after the car is off it stops. Still the car used to start right up. it ran rough. This monning I went to start it. it started and turned off, I didn't give it any gas. I did this twice. Now the starter cranks but the engine won't start. Maybe the car needs a tune up. The battery doesn't seem low but is it possible for a alternator to overcharge a battery, or put too more than 12V into the system? Thanx, …

My 78 280z has a weird suspension problem(I think it's a suspension problem) The car drives great on a smooth road, but when the car hits a good series of bumps it makes a noise that i belive is coming from the rear passanger side. It kinda sounds like a flat tire. Accompanied by this noise some times is the rear pulls right. It feels like the tire wants to come off. This even happens at speeds between 15-30mph. Now the bumps i'm referring to are not that bad as my 240z easily goes over them at 20-25mph. I put on new tires and the car has been sitting almost a year since it's been driven. Help!! Thanx, Ernie H. fstr240z@excite.com 73 240z(my babe) 78 280z(my soon to be…
