tfsbecause Posted July 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Like the title says my 1978 280z will not start. I am pretty new to working on the z...when I used it I never had to. It's been a great little car. It's been sitting for about 6 years. Started off with not passing emissions because of old fuel in the tank. I know stupid I should have drained the tank then....I got it started up a year ago after blowing out the fuel lines, putting in a new fuel pump (added a filter between the tank and the fuel pump). I also put in a used Air Intake module (tested good yesterday). Dad got sick and the car sat. Fast forward a year. I drained the fuel again and the radiator. The compression and spark was good but there was not enough fuel getting through the injectors. Didn't test the injectors but they looked like hell. There was plenty of fuel to the rail... I put in new fuel injectors, spark plugs, and a fuel filter in the front. The car ran great! The best it ran in 10 years!! I was STOKED and took it for a drive.Last night I changed the oil. I tried firing it up and it would not turn over. I though I may have hit the fusible link again (it happened a few days ago while working on it and I just wiggled the wires and the car started). This time the wire came out of the one of the connectors. I hit the body of the car trying to get the other side off and it sparked. Today I checked the battery, fully charged and put in a new fusible link, 30 amps. Still nothing. what do you all think? Where should I start?
