February 12, 20187 yr comment_542111 Hi Jesus. Looking at your post #32. You have a bosch AFM. Datsun used the bosch systems in the early models up to mid 75. Looks like the PO has been swapping parts from an early model. Did you have a chance to check the model ECU? Im almost certain the pin configuration is the same on the bosch and early JECsS systems.

February 12, 20187 yr comment_542112 More cars have 2 turn sign. flashers, it has to do with the wattage.. the power of, and the number of bulbs.. 1 flasher is for directions, mostly 3 bulbs.. for hazard it's 6 bulbs, this flasher unit has to handle twice the power..

February 25, 20187 yr comment_543218 You are probably having trouble reading the circuit diagram because it's for a 77 model with one igniter pick-up in the distributor. In your case, you have a pre 4/75 car (going on the bosch AFM) which had a dual pick-up with red, green & brown wires going to the terminal block on the inner fender and the TIU. You changed the old distributor to a 79 280ZX distributor with a built in TIU. A lot of people on the forums call it the matchbox. Reading through this thread, you changed over the original TIU internal to the GM HEI module. I have not seen anything on how you disconnected the "matchbox" If the match box TIU on the 79 distributor is working, I would use it and disconect the old remote TIU. This tech article might be of some help. Its about disconnecting the matchbox and using a hei module. If the matchbox tiu is still in place and functional all you need to do with the 79 dizzy is connect the two pins on the distributor tiu to a 12v coil. Disconect all the wires on the old tiu and it should run.

February 25, 20187 yr Author comment_543243 yea ok i got it right then one thing i found out yesterday is that i opened the AFM i noticed that the AFM stays on the cut off point and kills my fuel pump but if i hold it a bit off it will stay running and can push the gas and all that and go up in rpms dose that mean my AFM is bad or my ecu ? it seems like it works after it worms up but flutter when gas is added Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59384-need-help-car-starts-but-will-turn-off-after-a-few-secs/?&page=5#findComment-543243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 25, 20187 yr comment_543244 Looks like you need to adjust the reed switch for the fuel pump in the AFM. You can bend the arm that moves the reed contact it with a simple paar of pliers. The PO may have played with the vane spring tension .There is a write up on www.atlanticz.ca on how to calibrate the spring http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59384-need-help-car-starts-but-will-turn-off-after-a-few-secs/?&page=5#findComment-543244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
