Car Won't Start

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!

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.

All good ideas. I second the seafoam and filter. 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).
