August 10, 201212 yr Author comment_398145 No I think you need to move the AFM flap open then spray.So, to be sure since I'm new to all of this, spray right into the intake manifold? Disconnect the AFM with the flap and spray in? Again, thanks a lot. I truly appreciate your patience!

August 10, 201212 yr Author comment_398182 The Z is up and running! I sprayed some starter fluid into the AFM like grantf suggested, gave it some gas and it came alive! Thanks a lot gentlemen! My car means a lot to me, so your help means the world! Any idea though why this happen in the first place? Had the fuel clogged up or something, because I hadn't driven it for a couple of days. Again, thank you gentlemen! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/44022-car-wont-start/?&page=2#findComment-398182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 10, 201212 yr comment_398185 When you try starting the car DO NOT press on the gas pedal when cranking it over. I saw the throttle linkage moving in your video.You only pump the gas pedal on carburated cars, not fuel injected 280z's I would replace the fuel filter and pour a can of sea foam fuel additive in the gas tank. Then give it a good tune up. Replace plugs,distributor cap and plug wires and if you're up to the task, adjust the valves.

But do not be suprised if you have trouble in the future as I think you have made a diagnostic test of a sort but not really fixed what was/is wrong. (I hope I am wrong).
