For those that want to post something like:

"My car has a miss at 9,950 rpm, what's wrong?."

"My car doesn't rev past 350 rpm, what's wrong?."

"My car gets 3mpg, what's wrong?."

"I just bought my car and its running rough, what's wrong?."

1. Download the appropriate shop manual from here: http://www.xenons30.com/reference.html

2. Do a complete tune-up per the shop manual and then follow the Trouble Shooting section.

99.9% of the time you will be able to diagnose and fix the problem.

Well said, where can I get the right tuning fork for the L24?

hahaha I am curious to know the cause (who/what) inspired this post.

btw do you know an easy way to get the smell of 12 dead and decayed mice out of a 280z that sat in Nevada heat for many months?

Throw a dead cat in the car.

Throw a dead cat in the car.

Now THAT is genius.

That is baffling logic, John. You mean changing spark plugs and putting in a new fuel pump won't solve everything?

Its seems the default solution is to replace the diff when the engine is running rough.

God forbid for anybody to use the "search" engine to assist with anything anymore...............I just don't understand! Half the fun is reading up on a topic and discovering 2 or 3 more answers to questions that were in the back of your mind.............crazy stuff!

It usually does come down to the basics-and you can't get more basic than a 40 year old car. I'm with Traveln man, the fun of this hobby for me is the learning. Even as basic as these cars can be, I still learn something all the time. Just got my Corky Bell book on Turbo charging-I'll be getting dangerous now!!!!

Blue: You could try this, I have heard that it works well for basement odors.
