urgent part off L28 - perth

[jjohnson]

Hi all,

I'm in need of a thermo switch for my 280zx 81' and live in perth, w.a,

If anyone knows where I could get one w/ out paying $140 for a brand spanking new one that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Sean

I know that Perth is a lo . . . . . . . ng way from Fontana, California, but if you don't find one there let me know and maybe we ca work something out as I have 5 or 6 working ones in my parts bin. You're sure that your csv is bad and not the Thermotime switch?

[jjohnson]

sblake, your right...

Problem started from rough idling when cold..thought at first it couldve been a vacuum leak, couldnt figure out the problem and had it checked out...

Need a thermo switch, not a cold start valve.

might change the original post to thermo switch,

Thanks for the heads up

Sean.

I have a couple of those too. How do you know it's bad? Did you check the two terminals (while cold) for continuity?

[jjohnson]

The thermotime switch pins were measured for continuity with the engine hot and cold after cleaning the harness connections and switch.

So im pretty sure its the thermotime switch

Thanks,

Sean
