June 13, 20177 yr comment_523031 Have your mechanic go through the trouble shooting section in the FSM. Start with the fuel injection section. Efec.pdf under here: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/280z/1982/1982 280zx FSM/ The CHTS can cause havoc on these motors.

June 13, 20177 yr comment_523033 My experience with my Zs that run strong briefly has been the fuel filters allow the sediment to fall down and then after running a short time they clog up again. Feel your fuel lines and see how hard they are at different times. They should be rock hard at all times.
