HELP! Newby

[pleiades]

78 280z. Cannot find EFI relay. Haynes efi troubleshooting manual says it is near drivers kickpanel above control box. This would be other side of firewall from dropdown resistors. It is not there. Clymer manual ambiguous as to exact location as well. Wiring schematic shows just off control box. Wrong. Any ideas. Thanks for informed advice.

For easier location of parts and better information on repairs, I suggest that you look into getting a factory service manual. You can purchase it electronically from Courtesy Nissan at http://www.courtesyparts.com/secondtier_s30.html.

Good luck.

I think I posted this in the thread that Corganx33 referred to above. The EFI relay is under the bracket, behind the fusible link covers on the right side between the shock tower and the battery. See the attachment in that post. BTW, what makes you think your relay is bad? I ask only because I've worked on these cars for years and never had a problem with an EFI relay. Oh, and the dropping resistor is on the drivers side next to the clutch master cylinder, not that you should ever have a problem with that either.

it is a long rectangular relay under the dash on the drivers side. It should also have two connectors plugging in to it. hope that helps.

zmaster: Check the dates on the threads you are posting to. This one had been dead since 2005 until you resurrected it...
