the car just dies

[MrMarcDude]

Hey guys hows it going. Lately i have been noticing that my 78 280z has been shutting off while driving. Ill be driving, then slow down sorta fast, and the car will just slowly bumble, then shut off. Also, if im driving, and i take a sharp corner the motor will instantly shut off, then start back up by itself about a second later. I am totally lost. Full tank, half tank, quarter tank... does it every time. Any reccomendations?

Plugged fuel filter or pickup I imagine. Might be some rust in the tank or lines thats plugging you up after a few minutes of vacuum. Could be a bad fuel pump or broken wiring too, but if the car runs for a while, then stops, I have a feeling it's picking up sediment and blocking the fuel pickup.

Could also be a bad relay or temp sensor. I've experienced both on my 78Z and the bad sensor on my 810. Don't remember which relay but it was one of the ones by the shock tower. I fixed that about eight years ago and the problem has not reoccured.
