Edited May 28, 201014 yr by MiChael420

there are a bunch of vacuum hoses that are leading to nothing and i dont know what is supossed to go i really need help with this car its my first z car but i love it to death.... well i wouldnt die for it but u get the point its a great car but since im in my own topic i figured id bring up another issue with my car...

yesterday it was running fine as long as you dont hot rod it it runs fine i got on it a little yesterday and it died and now it wont start back... its not getting fire to the coil is there any way to "Bypass" the or "Hotwire" the coil I really need to get this issue fixed because its the only car i have to drive to get to work or anything and i cant do that im on P.T.O right now because of this trying to get my car fixed any help would be greatly appreciated...

B.T.W i still need t diagram the vacuum diagram if anybody would be so kind to upload 1 or point me in the right direction to get it thank you all and have a great day i will be on here throughout the day since i cant make it to work to check up and see if yall have figured anything out for me and once again thank you so much

the car was dying everytime i got on it and then the last time i got on it it never would start back up sounds like a ground issue but would that keep it from firing now????

You do realize that you're on what is predominantly a 240-260-280Z site, right? Yeah, there are a few members that have 280ZXs but there really isn't what you'd refer to as a lot of discussion here about them. Just trying to explain the lack of responses. Here's a link to a 1983 280ZX factory service manual and perhaps you can find what you're looking for in there:

nobody at all i mean somebody on here should at least know how i can hook the vacuum lines up... its a 2.7 non turbo inline 6 - 83 280zx 5 speed...

im pretty sure its a 2.7 but when im looking the car up it says L28 wouldnt that be a 2.8 liter :| im a little confused right now this is my first Z Car

Chill, Michael420. Read the note from Sblake01 and take heed.

I know nothing of the ZX line. The link to the FSM above is your best option. It will have a diagram of the vacuum system.
