Pomorza's Threat

[Pomorza]

Hello all

As I seem to keep adding threads to this forum I decided that my Z should probably have its own thread to save you all space. If anyone has any objections to this let me know.

First off I've been having a periodic idle problem when hot. Last night I drove up to my corner walmart to pick up food. Was in the store five minutes. Came out, put everything back in and was on my way. Started my Z and she had a bad idle, with backfiring when I gave it gas. This lasted all of about two minutes. Afterwords she drove fine, with no problems.

I've search this on the site and found that alot of you are saying it maybe the temperature sensor. Is it the thing photographed below? I found this earlier today while as I was clean and refilling my diffy with some Redline Gear oil. Can anyone tell me how many wires go to said sensor?

Secondly my Z doesn't idle at all when cold. I mean it does but not like it should. In all other cars i've had when the car is cold it will idle higher on the RPM range to get the engine warm. Mine does not do this. When cold it idles at 800 RMP. When hot roughly 1000. Does that sensor have anything to do with it?

Thank

Jan

A dedicated post thread for your car is fine... just not in the Help Me! section.

The Help Me!! Forum should be JUST for immediate help threads.

Granted you've had need of help, but your car isn't THAT much of a basket case.

Sorry I can't help you with your current post as I'm not qualified.
